I know I didn’t update the blog on Friday, and that’s because I wanted to wait until today - 15th August, India’s Independence Day; the day when India finally got its freedom from the British Rule.
In our own way we always strive to do something for our country. No matter where we are, we have a strong connection with our mother land and on this day each one of us celebrates it in our own manner.
Consider this song my celebration of India’s 63 years of freedom.
Allow me to take a moment and explain this song in detail. First of all, it has drawn inspiration from lot of other songs. You would find traces of our National Anthem, few soundtrack effects similar to the song “Haan yehi rasta tera” from the movie “Lakshya”, some lyrical inspiration from “Panchi, Nadiya, Pawan”“ from the movie “Refugee” and most importantly the spirit is from a scene from the movie “Paa”. The very first one, where the legendary Amitabh Bachchan had painted the Globe white signifying a World without boundaries, countries, religion, caste, creed or racism. That scene is buried deep down in my heart and it probably touched several other million hearts too.
This song also has its own situational significance. Let me try and create a scene for you and may be when you listen to the song you may feel it too. It is about a soldier. The war is over. They defeated the enemy and the soldier is standing alone on the battlefield. All numb, with corpses all around him. There is the moment of celebration but he is looking at the sky wondering what they really achieved from the war. His heart rate is increasing constantly and this song runs in the background. The song conveys his thoughts.
Enjoy the song and see ya next Friday. Jai Hind.
Here are the lyrics and you can play the song from the Player at the very end of the lyrics or from the Playlist on the right hand side –
[Mukhda]
Dekho yeh aasman, humein kya kehta hai
Main to hun ek par, zameen ke tukde kyun
Insaan ne kardiye hai, Apne swartha ke liye haan
Lakire hai har kahin, Darare dil mein rakhi hai haan
Dekho yeh aasman, humein kya kehta hai
Main to hun ek par, zameen ke tukde kyun
[1st Antra]
Sarhade, Banayi hai, Humne apne liye
Socho jisne, Jahan banaya, Kabhi socha kya yeh usne
Batao kya hai paya humne, ladh zaghadkar ek doosre se
Batao kyun hawayein, nadiya, Aur panchi, ek watan na chune
Hai to aasan par, sawaal gehra hai
Ek jaise hum sabhi, dharam hai itne kyun
Insaan ne kardiye hai, Apne swartha ke liye haan
Lakire hai har kahin, Darare dil mein rakhi hai haan
[2nd Antra]
Kare tamanna, ek jahan ki, jahan bhed na ho kahin
Kare tamanna, ek subah ki, jab bair na ho kahin
Jahan sabhi Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Isaayi, Sang kadam badhaye
Jahan mazhab humara, Insaniyat ho, Jahan ki hum rahein ...
Dekho nai kiran, humein kya kehti hai
Hai to sadi nayi, Purane zagde kyun
Insaan ne kurede hai, Apne swartha ke liye haan
Lakire hai har kahin, Darare dil mein rakhi hai haan
[Repeat Mukhda]
