Enjoy this fantastic performance of an old Khowar song by the two legends of Chitral, Mansoor Ali Shabab and Shafi Shifa accompanied by young Sitharist Bashir Basha and Drummer. It is a very beautiful song written by Habib Gul who has been a fundamental figure in Khowar literature.






Translation:


O People who deny, you should complain about the sun and moon in the sky..
This is the world of God, I cannot decipher the show of nature.


The world will be lit by moonlight and the wind of heaven will blow when my beloved comes out…
Oh the passing time, you make some of the childhood friends happy and others sad!


We have been blackmailed for no reasons, Laila is my beloved while I am poor Majnoon..
The body is a teapot of love that has been kept in the burning coal of Banj and is boiling impatiently..


Oh people, everyone come out as the queen is escorded out and my beloved is coming for a walk..
Oh unkind beloved of mine, you will uselessly waste my age as I know you very well.


The world will be lit by moonlight and the wind of heaven will blow when my beloved comes out…
Oh the passing time, you make some of the childhood friends happy and others sad!


We have been blackmailed for no reasons, Laila is my beloved while I am poor Majnoon..
The body is a teapot of love that has been kept in the burning coal of Banj and is boiling impatiently..


I am a patient of love, bring my beloved to my death bed as I doubt that I will survive..
I am a strict Muslim Oh God as you know, my heart is very pure!
