Intro
Purana Hip Hop! Kashmir!
(Good old hip hop! Kashmir!)
Kahani sunnoghe tum sab?
(You wanna hear a story?)
Toh ek din aisa hua,
(So, this happened one day)
Verse 1
Baitha tha apne doston ke saath,
(So i was chilling with my friends and all)
Lal chowk, chai pee rahe the lala ke paas,
(At Lal chowk, Lala's tea shop)
Achanak se hila dukaan,
(Suddenly the whole place started shaking)
Grenade ki awaaz,
(Like a grenade went off)
Mere din ki shuruwaat hui goliyon ke saath,
(My day began with a blast and the sound of gunshots)
Dekha khidki se, sab aag hi aag,
(I looked out the window, all i could see was chaos)
Aas paas dekhu, dikh rahi bas laash hi laash,
(So I went out and looked around,
All I could see were corpses on the ground)
Mere dost ki gaadi jhelum ke uss paar,
(My friend told me we gotta move, his car is right across jhelum)
Abhi bhi sab sadme mein, jaana chahte uss paar, kuch pata nahi,
(Traumatized, people still hoping to cross to the other side,
Because we don't know)
Pakde ghe mujhe shak pe aur wajah nahi,
(Without reason, they might arrest me or kill me over suspicion)
Nikla wahan se darr ke kuch bacha nahi,
(I was scared to death, I don't know who all survived)
Koi na mere ghar pe bas fikar wohi,
(My family wasn't home, hope they didn't end up there)
Zikar na karna tu bola dost,
(My friend told me to shut up about everything)
Aise taise karke, kabu kiya khauf,
(So somehow we, found the car and left)
Halato se ladke, jaan pe khele log,
(Being resilient, I just learned that from my people)
Dikhi mujhe maut ki parchai, aaj woh hassi bohot,
(It felt like the shadow of death was upon me, laughing)
Hook 1
Ruk ruk ruk bunker aaya,
Kahani chalti raheghi
(Wait, stop, there's a bunker ahead)
(The story will go on)
Tu hi grenade phenka kya?
(Did you throw that grenade?)
Tu hume dikhta hai unn jaisa
(Cuz you all look the same to us)
Iss gaadi mein akhir kya hai?
(What's in this car? What are you carrying?)
Tera ID kahan hai?
(What's your name? Where's your ID?)
Verse 2
Ye puche mujhe,
(And they ask me)
Tu toh wohi hai joh gaane hai banata,
(Aren't you the one who makes songs about Kashmir?)
Dekha tujhe tu akhbaro mein bhi aata,
(I have seen you on the newspapers, they write about you)
Haan main wohi hun, azaadi meri baasha,
(Yes I'm the one, my language is freedom)
Jhoot ko kuchal ke karu sach ka khulasa,
(The lies have been trampled down, with the truth that I expose)
Akhir kaisa ye tanaza? Berahamee ka tamasha,
(So why all this conflict? This grandiose showcase of violence)
Zalim khoon ka paisa, kaate sukoon ki aasha,
(Oppressors still thirsty for blood, here they don't want peace)
Ab tum socho, ye khel kaun hai khelta humare saath?
(So think! who's playing these games with us?)
Libaas safed par lal kyu hai inke haath?
(The devils are adorned in white cloths
But hands soaked in our blood)
Tum behkana, bhadkana toh hai mann ki baat,
(With their deceptive arts, they provoke you to be violent)
Na samajh ho tum gabraye na ye mann joh aaj,
(You must really stupid if you still don't understand this)
Gumnaam, tu bas, chup chaap,
(Lost in their lies, and you just stay silent)
Media ki bakwaas, aur tu anjaan, asliyat se,
(You like listening to propaganda, cuz you don't like the truth)
Roke hume har naake pe kyu ki hum galat hai inki nazron mein,
(They stop us at every bunker without any reason, for them,
We are born terrorists)
Kab tum samjho ghe?
(When will you understand this?)
Dekho ek aur naaka aaya, wohi sawalat, ghulami ka saaya!
(Look! Another bunker ahead, and they repeat the same questions,
We are nothing but slaves)
