Adil Najam
Readers already know how much I like Arieb Azhar’s music. In some way’s I think of him as Pakistan’s Woody Guthrie. Adding a contemporary edge to folk, modern folk if you will, although I think Arieb himself prefers to call it Sufi-folk. But it is the humanism in his songs that always pull at my heartstrings.
This piece is profound. No, its not about what you might think from the title. This is not self-flagellation. This is an appreciation of self. Take a listen. I should confess it is no match for Arieb’s Husn-i-Haqiqi. But it is matchless nonetheless.
This guys voice is amazing, but I thing the real thing is his choice of lyrics. Great find.
Amazing performance. I read the title and thought it will be another one about feeling bad for oneself and saying how bad we are. So pleasant to hear it.
I am not trying to spoil the mood here but yesterdays explosion in Peshawar came as another shock to me that spoiled many precious lives is not going away easily from my mind but I dedicate this song to brothers and sisters if nothing else. This has a great music beats.
