A SearchKashmir production.
Rahul Wanchoo and Hempreet Kour team up to give us a mix of Dogri/Pahari folk song with an old Kashmiri sufi song. Together capturing a certain beauty of the two languages. The Dogri song was made famous by Malika Pukhraj ( and later by her daughter Tahira Syed), whose origins are in Jammu and the Kashmiri one is by Sufi poet Wahab Khar (19th century)

stay the night, o my love!

say this my friend to that love of mine
khaar mye thovnam, sui chum dar badan
in smithereens he leaves me, yet he is within the body
wasiye yaaras wann, talai lati yaaras wan

pal par bei jaana bei jaana, o jindey,
some more moments stay with me, o my love!
raati rayi jaana rayi jaana o jindey

dooriy chum baalyaar yemai teer laayan, hoor chas vetarawan
from afar, my lover shoots those arrows, fairy I, bears them all
like a thief quietly he left, cajole him back to me

say this my friend to that love of mine
