The Lost Shikara Revisited

Lord

Harfan andar, Cxaraa'n chukho

Jhelum Jhelum, Pyaraa'n chukho

Astaanan wen, Azaan ne ken'h

Asmaa'n pyomut, Armaa'n chukho

Baalan cxe haal, baavaa'n chukho

Shaitaan'as ka'in, laayaa'n chuko

Harr kan'h kapur, pashmeen ne kenh

Panas yi zon, paavaa'n chukho

Harfan andar, Cxaraan chukho

Jhelum Jhelum, Pyaran chukho

Astaanan wen, Azaan ne kenh

Asmaa'n pyomut, Armaa'n chukho

Lord

I thought I knew you but I was wrong

Lord

I thought I'm humble but I was proud

Lord

I carry vanity in my appearance

Lord

I'm tryna sail home from a decade

Lord

I can't see the end of this lake through this haze now

For how long am I supposed to be in this maze now

Enough testing, Lord I need your blessing

My Head's down, hand's up heart's not restin'

Harfan andar, Cxaraa'n chukho

Jhelum Jhelum, Pyaraa'n chukho

Astaanan wen, Azaan ne ken'h

Asmaa'n pyomut, Armaa'n chukho

Jhelum Jhelum, Cxaraa'n chukho

Jhelum Jhelum, Pyaraa'n chukho

Lord

Holy men going shady what a mess

Feeding on my bones, demons on my flesh

Bul tryna survive on her eggs

But that won't do until she burns up her nest

That won't do until she takes off her vest and

Face her predator infront of her chest

Pray for the morning prepare for the next war

She's marchin alone on the desolate boulevard

Fallen one haulin' shikara huffin' and hummin' a ghazal

Stole some gold for a friend who Sold him no oar but shovel

Callin' the name of the greatest

Prayin' to the same potraitist

Bravest thing done by a sadist

Weightless he feels so fearless

We sin then we say Astagfirullah

He forgives and forgets Alhamdulillah

Kan'h na chu ne yetti peer, kan'h chu ne be gonah

We all are the part of the same qafilah

Harfan andar, Cxaraa'n chukho

Jehlum Jehlum, Pyaraa'n chukho

Astaanan wen, Azaan ne ken'h

Asmaa'n pyomut, Armaa'n chukho

Jhelum Jhelum, Cxaraa'n chukho

Jhelum Jhelum, Pyaraa'n chukho
