'In The Air' is Advaita's third single from the 'UNISON' concert series.
This song is based on a poem by the sufi mystic and poet Baba Bulleh Shah. He challenges us to ask ourselves if we truly live by the principles we pretend to follow and to realise that it won't be our name, status, religion or creed that would matter before God, but our actions and the purity of our hearts.
IN THE AIR
Padhi namaaz te riyaaz na sikhya
Tere kis kaam padhya namaaza
Na ghar ditha na gharwala
Tere kis kaam kittiyan niyaaza
Ilam padhaya amal na kitta
Tere kis kaam kittiyan kaza
Bulleh shah pata tad lag si
Jado chidi phansi hath baaza
Jo ghadya so bhajna
Ek din jo banaya so dhena
Aakhir chadhne mahal manare baith sada nahin rehna
Char dina da mela otthe
Bahuti deer nahin behna
Jo bhi cheda saadak chalya ohi manna pena
Kol nahin bhain bharava
Pal vich ja dafnana
Tur jana tenu sab ne chad bahuta chir na lana
Muk jaaney sab chede
Tere haath mitti jad aana
Us din saadak russe nu kisse nahin aan manauna
I hope for one thing
And I pray for another
Is it really wishful thinking
In a way that ends never ?
When I needed to say something
The sounds just seem to clutter
Into words I know won't even matter
Do they really matter ?
I believe in one thing
And live by another
In a state of constant daze
I've been here forever
I want to break out of this spell
I want to find, rise and discover
All in me that resides
And the change that's in the air
Otthe amla de hone ne nabede
Kisey nai teri zaat puchni
Jhoothe maan te aakhad
Teri jhoothiyan teriyan batan
Gallan naal banave pal vich dina nu kaliyan raatan
Jhoothe mahal manare
Teri jhoothiyan teriyan zaatan
Amla bajo saadak otthe kisey nai leniyan zaatan
Recorded live at The Oddbird Theatre (New Delhi) on Sept 21, 2018.
