Song Info
‘Khayaal’ is a song that was written 8 years ago by Umair Jaswal early in his career. Deeply personal, the piece has never been performed till now on Coke Studio. The song itself is the angst of the loner; it expresses the disconnection that many feel with the world at large, facing one’s demons and ultimately finding one’s Self. While the sound presents a grunge feel, the structure flows into what appears to be a free-fall within stringed with a deep sense of melancholy performed by the Orchestra in Serbia. The song represents the relationship between action and inaction, the aggressive and passive wherein opposing energies set into motion Creation. As we move into the world and deal with the struggle accompanied in the pursuit, within resides a Spectator that exists in the dream like state of Thought. ‘Khayaal’ chronicles this constant state of transition and brings forth the deeper meaning of Rock set within an Eastern cyclic template.
Lyrics of Khayaal
Language:
Urdu
چپ چاپ سن رہا
chupchaap sun raha
Silently I listen
خاموشی سے تنہائی کی داستان
khaamoshi se tanhaaikidaastaan
Wordlessly to the tale of solitude
برسوں سے چپ یہ خاموشیاں
barson se chupyihkhaamoshiyaan
These silences which have said nothing for years
کس قدر ادھوری
kisqadradhoori
Are so unfulfilled
نہ پاس نہ دور کوئی
nahpaas nah door koi
No one near or far
یہ تنہائی کس قدر تنہا
Yih tanhaai kisqadr tanha
How solitary is this solitude
شام کے رنگ ڈھلتے ہیں
shaamke rang ḍhaltehain
The hues of evening fade from the sky
سوچ میں دن ڈھلتے ہیں
soch men din ḍhaltehain
Days fade away in contemplation
دور اکیلا بیٹھا میں
doorakelabaiṭha main
Sitting alone, far away, I…
گنتا ہوں فاصلے
gintahoonfaasale
Count the distance
کہاں تم کہاں میں
kahaan tum kahaan main
Between you and me
بادلوں میں بنتے سلسلے
baadalon men bantesilsile
Patterns formed by clouds
ریت پہ لکھے الفاظ
retpihlikkhealfaaz
Words etched in the sand
شاید کچھ ایسے ہی
shaayadkuchhaise hi
Perhaps just as…
تیرے میرے خیال
tere mere khayaal
Your thoughts and mine
تیرے میرے خیال
tere mere khayaal
Your thoughts and mine
خیال
khayaal
Thoughts
