My Favorites Stanzas

Like many people, I do like music… quality music only. Quality is subjective term and different for different people. I listen to wide range of music: folk, rock, pop, Jazz etc. I’m enamored by national anthems especially related to Armed Forces of Pakistan. I not only pay attention to the composition but also to the lyrics. I would like to share some verses of the tracks I like the most. Here we go:

Tum Hi Say Ae Mujahido Jahan Ka Sabaat Hai
Tumhari Mashael-e-Wafa Farogh-E-Shash Jihad Hai.

Song: Tum Hi Say Ae Mujahido – Aalamgir
- – -

Hum kissi se kum nahi
Is ka humko hai yaqeen
Mushkil khud per o paday
Jub hum jaien jum khaein

Song: Ae jawan – Awaz (Harron & Fakhir)
- – -

Aye Rahe Haq K Shahido
Wafa Ki Taswiroooo
Tumhe Watan Ki Hawainnnn
Salam Kehti Hain…
Aye Rahe Haq K Shahidooo…

Song: Ae Rah-e-Haq Ke Shaheedon – Naseem Begam
- – -

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot dead
Everybody’s gone mad

Song: They Don’t Care About Us – MICHAEL JACKSON
- – -

At the starting of the week
At summit talks you’ll hear them speak
It’s only Monday
Negotiations breaking down
See those leaders start to frown
It’s sword and gun day

You could be sitting taking lunch
The news will hit you like a punch
It’s only Tuesday
You never thought we’d go to war
After all the things we saw
It’s April Fools’ day

You hear a whistling overhead
Are you alive or are you dead?
It’s only Thursday
You feel a shaking on the ground
A billion candles burn around
Is it your birthday?
Tomorrow never comes until it’s too late

Song: Six Days – DJ Shadow
