Maujood

'Maujood' literally means 'Presence' or 'Beingness' but only in literal terms, is woven into a song that different ears can drape differently. It's something multi-dimensionally appealing, but its serenity is unexplainable. Some feelings go beyond words and music, this song is about that feeling"

Tu jab bhi khayalo.n mai aa jaati hai,
Num sa ehsaas ko mere kar jaati hai,
Ziqr hota hai jab bhi tere naam se,
Dooriyo.n mai bhi kurbat si cha jaati hai.

Tu bunte hue mere khwabo.n mai hai,
Humsafar mera tu saari raaho.n mai hai,
Darmiyan hai.n salakhei.n ye taqdeer ki,
Tu Maujood phir bhi duao.n mai hai

Tu ab bhi khalao.n mai Maujood hai,
Tu ab bhi khizao.n mai Maujood hai,
Tu ab bhi sadao.n mai Maujood hai.

Translation in English.

You, as and when my mind crosses,
Leave my thoughts benumb,
Your name whenever stumbled upon,
Makes distances nought.

Woven into a cohesion with my dreams,
Nevertheless, as destiny wroughts its bars,
You're ever being, ever present in my prayers.

You are still ever present in my solitude,
In my seasons,
My reasons forevermore.

Betukay

"It’s time I break free, Of your fetters I was bound with, Of everything that my stride was halted by, It’s time I snatch away what was to be mine since you curtailed my all, my right, my dreams, my entitlement, my thoughts, my wings and feet, It’s time I introduce you to me, So you know me yet again, know who I am and what I could possibly do, It’s time you know your slave is much more than you reckoned, It’s time I break free."

Wo tere Betukay se jawab,
Aur meri galtiyon ka hisaab,
Kyun sahun khud pe main ye azaab.

Soorat pe tere hai yeh jhoota naqaab,
Kar dunga mansoobon ko tere kharaab,
Kar lunga poore saare, apne main khwaab.

Thak gaya hun main ab, Chalte-Chalte ishaaron pe tere,
Sar jhukaegi duniya, Hauslein hai buland ab mere.


Thak gaya hun main ab, Tod dunga ye dehshat ke ghaere,
Sar jhukaegi duniya, Hauslein hai buland ab mere.

Teri gulaami yunhi chalti rahi,
Gunahon ke saancho main dhalti rahi,
Phir bhi kyun bhujh na paee teri yeh pyaas.

Mujhpe chalega ab na tera rubaab,
Cheenunga main ab apne haq ka sabaab,
Kar lunga khud ko tujhse ruksat main aaj.

Thak gaya hun main ab, Chalte-Chalte ishaaron pe tere,
Sar jhukaegi duniya, Hauslein hai buland ab mere.

Thak gaya hun main ab, Tod dunga ye dehshat ke ghaere,
Sar jhukaegi duniya, Hauslein hai buland ab mere.

Translation in English.

Your most senseless answers,
Along with vivid details of my mistakes,
Why am I to tolerate this reprimand?

Across your face is such an unreal veil,
Will so shatter your maneuver away,
Will bring all my dreams to reality.

I’m done and tired now, with dancing to your whims and fancies around,
Now the world will bow down to me, such is the strength of my convictions.

I’m done and tired now, going to bring away the terror that hovers around,
Now the world will bow down to me, such is the strength of my convictions.

It’s been so long with your incessant dominance,
It kept blending further with the vices,
How couldn’t it still satisfy that thirst of yours?

Your supremacy over me will reside no more,
It’s time I snatch away what was to be,
It’s time I break free of everything that my stride was halted by.

I’m done and tired now, with dancing to your whims and fancies around,
Now the world will bow down to me, such is the strength of my convictions.

I’m done and tired now, going to bring away the terror that hovers around,
Now the world will bow down to me, such is the strength of my convictions.

Ho Subah

The Song's about "Coming Together" and Raging against the Dreary Shadows of Terrorism, Racism and Corruption looming over the world and hoping for a "New Dawn". It’s a song for the new generation, dumbfounded by the destruction and ruin around them, trying to find the INDIA they studied in their textbooks back in school, trying to figure out the reason to all this hatred and bloodshed and Waiting for better times.

Sochta rehta hoon, kab hate yeh dhuan,
Dard ke saaye main, pal raha yeh sama,

haan... haan... Ho Subah
haan... haan...

Sarhadein faasle, kab mitenge yahan,
Dil ki deewar se, cheekhti ek dua,

haan... haan... Ho Subah
haan... haan...

Rakht se ashq se, num huee yeh hawa,
Har taraf bas yahan, hai dhuan hee dhuan,

haan... haan... Ho Subah
haan... haan...

Sanson par likh raha, rab ka naam subah-shaam,
Keh rahi hai fiza, sun zara Ho subah,

haan... haan... Ho Subah
haan... haan...

Mushkilein jo mile, tujhe kabhi,
Ghabraana na, tu kabhi...
Dil se jo tu suljhaega,
Har masla phir, ghul jayega,

Ho Subah...Ho Subah

Translation in English.

My thoughts provoke me to question when this smoke will abate,
Everything that surrounds me nestles in the bosom of pain,
Let the New Dawn break..

When will we fill these voids and surpass these barriers
Yearns my heart in prayers,
Let the New Dawn break..

My aura drenched in blood and tears
The smoke surrounds all, around all it hovers,
Let the New Dawn break..

Day in day out engraving invocation on my breath,
Murmurs the breeze, it pleads to listen,
Let the New Dawn break..

Fret not when in vain,
For as long as the heart is fervent,
Our issues seem to dissolve, matters don't matter.
