(This post is in response to a comment that was left by a Gentleman on a Forum about a Blog post of mine regarding news of ‘Martyrdom’ of Sifwat Ghayur. The commenter wanted to make the point that Sifwat Ghayyur might not be categorized as Martyr. Here goes my response with Original comment first)

The bugle was blown. A gun-salute rang in the air as the casket was lowered into the grave. At that moment the tears could no longer be held back as memories flashed through my head like the reel of a film: Safwat Ghayyur’s hearty laugh, his characteristic way of lighting up his cigarette, the way his eyes would crinkle up when he teased me about this or that.

All the birds have flown up and gone;
A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.
We never tire of looking at each other -
Only the mountain and I.

The first episode of third season of Coke Studio Pakistan went on air. Recently, the Coke Studio has claimed a great deal of audience in Pakistan. In the first episode, I happened to listen to Zeb and Hania’s latest song in Farsi (Persian). It was mesmerizing and I simply loved it. From composition to sound effects, specially the violin play was soothing. With a little bit of googling, got hold of the lyrics of the song and felt like sharing with you and I hope you will come to love it too:
Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan
Ba darwazae tajh Quran jayee sanam janem
Your being borders on the divine, my love

From the seas and the streams;

In their noonday dreams. Share This keep looking »
