I do not wish India to go through a balkenisation again but if such an unfortunate incident happens and on the lines of Hindu rahstra and Nehru's socialist Republic,being a Pakistani I would love to move and be part of Gandhi's dream of india....now that would be a acceptable 'Ghar wapsi'

thumbs up from pakistan guys bcz i feel very deeply this poem im the one who suffered too much in my childhood my father was in prison with false charges and my terminally ill mother is just simple villager woman so she didnt know much n i was just 10yrs old boy who struggled too much to keep his 4 younger siblings provide food n education n now im in my 30s my younger siblings now well educated n also better humans but they dont like me anymore :) n im just alone n illiterate person who victim of this corrupt n injustice system of our countries .
We would have similar secular constitution with different governments. At the moment however, Pakistan is moving towards secularism whereas India is moving towards radicalism.

This is basically a poem written by Mr Habib Jalib. He was a revolutionary poet, a left-wing activist and a politician who opposed martial law. He wrote this poem against Zia ul Haq's regime which was quite oppressive, people were ripped off of their right to freedom of speech however, Mr Jalib with much courage read this beautiful and meaningful poem in crowds.
dekh zindāñ se pare rañg-e-chaman josh-e-bahār raqs karnā hai to phir paañv kī zanjīr na dekh دیکھ زنداں سے پرے رنگ چمن جوش بہار رقص کرنا ہے تو پھر پاؤں کی زنجیر نہ دیکھ Whenever I listen to this ghazal of Jalib Sahib, a ray of hope awakens in my heart as if to be re-illuminated in the darkness, Ammar Bhai, you are an inspiration for Us, Long Live Resistance 💖✌️
What's a poem rather than song...influenced by the people who neved bowed head before the dirty rules made by rulers ...May Allah Pak protect this mulk Pakistan Ameen...and May Allah Pak such people like habib jalib, their increased day by day Ameen ..which is real worth of pakistan
Reading the comments, It's with appreciable that both young generations from India and Pakistan understand the real issues of both sides, we have to stand against these inhumane borders and conflicts running on the tax of common people.
what a wonderful young musician! where can one get more of his songs? and wish i had known he was performing in jnu....would have certainly gone to listen to him.
Ammar Rashid isn't a professional singer, he is a dedicated socialist/marxist. This is a work by revolutionary Pakistani poet, "Habib Jalib". He often sings in protests on issues and gatherings of like-minded comrades. It could be one of those recordings.
Dear composer, if you are reading this please please please for the sake of our future please recreate this song the same way please. we really need this to be trending and it will be. i mean the idea it portrays with such beauty man. i have no words. this can actually make our generation think. the lyrics are so fucking apt. "jehel ki raat" are you serious so apt. and your voice and your skill may god bless you.
Jaalib sahab khud hi composer thy! Wo hamesha apni poetry gaa kar sunaya karty thy! It's available on youtube in his own voice! But , Laal Band from Pakistan has also recorded it beautifully , you can listen to that!

Your spell over us shall have no more power
Why do you pretend to be a healer of those lamenting in grief?
You are no healer!

Excellent performance.. Revolutionary poem..
This gentleman has sung the poetry beautifully
dekh zindāñ se pare rañg-e-chaman josh-e-bahār
raqs karnā hai to phir paañv kī zanjīr na dekh
دیکھ زنداں سے پرے رنگ چمن جوش بہار
رقص کرنا ہے تو پھر پاؤں کی زنجیر نہ دیکھ
Whenever I listen to this ghazal of Jalib Sahib, a ray of hope awakens in my heart as if to be re-illuminated in the darkness, Ammar Bhai, you are an inspiration for Us, Long Live Resistance 💖✌️
What's a poem rather than song...influenced by the people who neved bowed head before the dirty rules made by rulers ...May Allah Pak protect this mulk Pakistan Ameen...and May Allah Pak such people like habib jalib, their increased day by day Ameen ..which is real worth of pakistan
Beautiful voice. The song is mellifluous 😍😍
Very good inspiring song, Long Live Revolution.
Long live the spirit of rebellion!
Long live the rebels!
The young ones should understand the need for the unification of South Asia.
This is on repeat! Will cover this myself also. Bravo!
This song gives me so much strength
Reading the comments, It's with appreciable that both young generations from India and Pakistan understand the real issues of both sides, we have to stand against these inhumane borders and conflicts running on the tax of common people.
what a wonderful young musician! where can one get more of his songs? and wish i had known he was performing in jnu....would have certainly gone to listen to him.
Ammar Rashid isn't a professional singer, he is a dedicated socialist/marxist. This is a work by revolutionary Pakistani poet, "Habib Jalib". He often sings in protests on issues and gatherings of like-minded comrades. It could be one of those recordings.
" Its Just Epitome of Music"❣️🙌
Gaane Dil tak pohochte hai, Inquilabi Namz rooh tak pohochti hai😭❤️
This is one of the best covers i have heard of anything in a long time. Kudos and love from Pakistan.
nicely sung. #standwithjnu
What a nice song and sung by brother...
Lal salaam comred ... from India
Dear composer, if you are reading this please please please for the sake of our future please recreate this song the same way please. we really need this to be trending and it will be. i mean the idea it portrays with such beauty man. i have no words. this can actually make our generation think. the lyrics are so fucking apt. "jehel ki raat" are you serious so apt. and your voice and your skill may god bless you.
The poet is Habib Jalib who spent most of his life in Jail for having socialist views. You can look him up on wikipedia.
Jaalib sahab khud hi composer thy!
Wo hamesha apni poetry gaa kar sunaya karty thy!
It's available on youtube in his own voice!
But , Laal Band from Pakistan has also recorded it beautifully , you can listen to that!
Who is the artist? Can i find more work done by him? He is brilliant
