"Main Nay Kaha" is a satirical poem by the famous leftist poet Habib Jalib called "Musheer" (Advisor). Jalib wrote it in response to a conversation he had with Hafiz Jalandari during the time of Ayub Khan's dictatorship. It remains just as fresh and valid today.
The music video contains real images of events in Karachi, London, and Lahore during the tumultuous period between December 27th and February 18th. The song and video were recorded on a shoe-string budget of one session each.
This video and song are connected to a documentary on a journey through a life-changing period in the history of Pakistan. The journey begins in Pakistan on the eve of the assassination of Benazir and the ensuing grief, violence, and carnage. The film maker travels to London to discover a group of young activists organizing protests against Emergency rule. Following these activists full circle to Pakistan, the documentary captures the events around the 2008 elections. The film thus captures a moment in the life of Pakistan, from Benazir's assassination to the elections, through the lens of young activists. The documentary by Widei Films will also be released shortly.
Translation:
I said this to him
These hundred million
Are the epitome of ignorance
Their conscience has gone to sleep
Every ray of hope
Is lost in the darkness
This news is true
They are the living dead
Completely mindless
A disease of life
And you hold in your hands
The cure for their ills
You are the light of God
Wisdom and knowledge personified
The nation is with you
It is only through your grace
That the nation can be saved
You are the light of a new morning
After you there is only night
The few who speak out
Are all mischief makers
You should tear out their tongues
You should throttle their throats
Those proud of their eloquence
Their tongues are completely silent
There is calm in the land
There is an unexampled difference
Between yesterday and today
Only at their own expense
Are people in prison, under your rule
China
China is our friend
We'd give our lives for her
But the system that they have
Steer well clear of that
From far away say "salaam"
These hundred million asses
That are named the masses
Could surely never become rulers
You are the truth; they're an illusion
My prayer is that
You remain President forever - เพลง

2024 and it's still relatable
Still relevant to india...
Kisa are majdoor ekta zindabad ❤️❤️
Today 13 Sept 2023, still same situation, nothing has changed, just 10 Crore increased to 24 Crore. 😢

It amazes me to see how morally and intellectually bankrupt we are as a nation just fascinating.
Listening in 2019 and still looks like Habib Jalib Poetry still relevant
If it's still relevant then it means we are doomed
Listening in 2021 and still relevant ☺️
2021-
In 2022 - still relevant
Hi there it's 2022 same
Even Today:
جن کو تھا زباں پہ ناز
چُپ ہیں وہ زباں دراز
چین ہے سماج میں
بے مثال فرق ہے
کل میں اور آج میں
اپنے خرچ پر ہیں قید
لوگ تیرے راج میں
میں نے اس سے یہ کہا
آدمی ہے وہ بڑا
در پہ جو رہے پڑا
جو پناہ مانگ لے
اُس کی بخش دے خطا
These are timeless words
Habib Jablib met Hafeez Jalandri in market one day and Hafeez told him that he is now advisor to Ayub Khan. In this poem, Habib Jalib says what Hafeez Jalandri tells to Ayub Khan.
This is the context of the poem.
Good luck and enjoy
I read it was about gen zia
Oh really?
@@Animeshuma yup .....
Yes, it was on ayub Khan
Thanks for the context
Listening to it under the reign of Chief Martial Law Administrator Shehbaz Sharif Bajwa
Waah
You summed it well
😢😢
wonderfully sung . Habib Jalib must be feeling proud
Habib Jalib was a genius. The most simple, most incredible lyrics ever written against fascism, transcends times and eras. Can relate to many of the events happening in Hindutva India, Modi, Bal Thackeray, RSS,etc... the hindu talibanisation going on there.
Lol… love it when beggars talk about bill gates and his problems.

Listening - 2024
Habib Jalib❤
Blessings from India.
I used to listen this alot in 2009 .. today is 2019.. and nothing has changed in Pakistan in the last 10 years. This comment is reserved for 2029. I have no hopes but still I wish things would be better by then.
Are you living in Pakistan.On which basis you are saying. Do you have any statistics.what about your country
Are you kidding? Pakistan has changed. Alhamdulillah there is peace here.
@@shamsayousaf2169 I'm a Pakistani. :)
U dont seem like a pakistani. Even a blind man can see the change..
Totally agreed .... As soon as Bloody civilians are imprisoned in chains there is no hope. Bloody civilians should break the chain and will topple #NaPakArmy 's might. :(
Listening in nov 2019.
Salute to Habib Jalib from India.
2022❤️
I am listening in Dec 2023, and its still relevant.
सवा सौ करोड पर भी यही बात लागू है।

Hats off to the Man (Habib Jalib) Great poet Wallah !!! So true (Jin ko tha zabaa'n pe naaz, chup hain wo zabaa'n daraaz).
حبیب جالب خدا تجھے جنت میں اونچا مقام دیں ۔
Great lyrics
Great singing
Great video
Amazing work 👏👏
whenever i feel sad i listen to this.
It's not like that song it's inqalabi song
His words are so thought provoking and relatable even till this day. And it's beautifully sung as well!
Listened today again! After 13/14 years. Thanks Laal
it is almost impossible to sing this song better than this gentleman.
Still listening in 2019...
Guys
This is good stuff. I am proud of the fact that our generation is bringing up such wonderful work of poetry in a modern way. I feel that if only a dozen people take up the writings of resistance after listening to your song, this will be a great achievement.
Well done and Bravo!
This comment should be in a museum

Habeeb Jalib the Great
2023 .. Habib Jalib poetry is forever but sadly it is still relevant to Pakistan :( ... I wish one day we can listen to these great words and be thankful that its all in history ...
It's excruciatingly painful yet still mesmerising to see these glimpses of the most tumultuous moments in our history after 14 years seeing how relevant it still is today. Thank you for making this.
Who listening in 2022
Bhai bahot acha kar rhe ho .
Love you from india
Aik aik harf aaj k halaat pe fit haii 😢
Good Work
wicked rendition and very powerful video. the images really hit you. very well done guys.
I remember listening to Taimur singing a "aye meray watan kay zaleel jarnailo" at a london protest and thought to myself that this guy can sing. and a little later this video popped up. great job guys. you guys were incredible at all the protests. people like you are our future leaders.
Musharraf kutta haye haye.
What an excellent song and I listen daily two or three times ( Chicago )
nice
Really nice
i just listened to both versions, i.e., in the voice of habib jalib himself and then of this Laal. I should say, Laal give a revival to this satire song.
Watching in 2018
Very nice
Sets perfect on all Pakistanis in 2023
Good song
Mubarak ho 24 crore kadhe
living lonely in a palace or castle ? and everybody afraid of me because of my father ? no, that's not my style ! living simple with the love of the people surround and help one to another with solidarity our burden become lower, that's my dream world
absolutely brilliant! I have seen it 5 times and could see it another 50 times and enjoy it more each time. Bravo!!!
wonderfull
Simply brilliant love it thanks for sharing
Beautiful sung... Habib jalib... A legend.... Salute him
Zabar Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast!
some things live on for centuries and this poetry is gonna stay for long. Habib Jalib is a legend, may Allah bless his soul
Perfectly suits current draconian times. Bajwa and clan has full control over the state and everywhere there is statelessness
“the more things change, the more they stay the same”
Relevant then, relevant now.
Thanks for sharing.
