A SearchKashmir production. 13th in the series.
A new audio-visual interpretation of Rasul Mir’s classic qalaam. The visuals are spin on works of Dali. The story is a bit of Adam-Eve, some elements of Joseph, and Dante. And then of course there is Kashmir. The Ka of water, the Ka of Kashyap the Kachua, the Ka of Kashmir.
Lyrics and translation
ba ti na yi durer chon zaray
This separation from you
I can no longer bear
bal marayo
surely I will die young
kyah karai thovtham zara zaray
bal marayo
cut to pieces, what to do?
surely I will die young
shahmar zulf nal wolnam
rood afsanay
Your snake tresses entangled me
all that remained was a tale
wyon wantam kem afsaan paray
Tell me, what other tales should I tell
bal marayo
surely I will die young
sharmanda karthas aftabo
kandharich zoon
I, moon of Kandahar was put to shame
by you, the brilliant sun
kaji chani gajisay lajisa daray
awaiting your hour, dissolved in your memory
bal marayo
surely I will die young
anyi gatti vaninam nani kathay
am lal faroshan
in darkness he revealed the naked truth
that dealer of precious stones
kani manz neyran jawharay
a stone split, a gem was revealed
bal marayo
surely I will die young
