Dream

With the visa of good night
or mom's lullaby during moonlight
One can dive into this divine domain
To reap the sown happiness grain
and placate pitiful plight and pain

An appeasing reality every dream of 
and diregard this surreal area as bluff
They run to psychologists for medical assistance
For any boon, they strain their veins
and postpone this kingdom beyond their lens

For every malady , a remedy universal
to the utopian heaven , an earthly rehearsal
The anagram of please,elapse
but none wishes its contract to lapse
call it rest,siesta,sleep or naps

Many name to this lovely state
Free entry for every age or date
the 'DREAM AIRLINES' heading to 'MY DOMAIN'
with all agonies related to body and brain
for it to eject, for it to drain

O ri chiraiya

"If you have tears to prepare to shed them now..."

Before you go on with the lyrics and video, I would like to provide a gist of the context of this song.

Though this doesn't comply with the usual content of the blog, but this is one of a gem .It was featured in the recent show aired in Star Plus,namely "Satyamev jayate" which focuses around  social evils. This song revolves around female foeticide .The song touches the core aspect of the evil. Swanand Kirkire has beautifully written each words .Here "Chiraiya or chidiya" (bird) is metaphoric to the girl child ,who has suffered the atrocities of the male-oriented cum dominated society .He addresses her to come back for there exist no world without a female.

Song : O Ri Chiraiya

Singer : Swanand Kirkire

Lyrics : Swanand Kirkire

Music Composer : Ram Sampath

O Ri Chiraiya, Nanhi Si Chidiya

Angnaa Mein Phir Aaja Re

O Ri Chiraiya, Nanhi Si Chidiya

Angnaa Mein Phir Aaja Re

Andhiyara.. Hai Ghanaa

Aur Lahu Se Sanaa

Kirno Ke Tinke, Ambar Se Chunn Ke

Angnaa Mein Phir Aaja Re

Humne Tujhpe Hazaaro Sitham Hain Kiye

Humne Tujhpe Jahaan Bhar Ke Zulm Kiye

Humne Socha Nahi, Tu Jo Udd Jaayegi

Ye Zameen Tere Bin Sooni Reh Jaayegi

Kiske Dum Pe Sajega Mera Angna

O Ri Chiraiya, Meri Chiraiya

Angana Mein Phir Aaja Re

Tere Pankho Mein Saare Sitare Jadu

Teri Chunar Thanak Setha Satrangi Bunu

Tere Kaajal Mein Main, Kaali Raina Bharu

Teri Mehandi Mein Main, Kachi Dhoopa Malu

Tere Naino Sajaa Doon Naya Sapna

O Ri Chiraiya, Meri Chiraiya

Angana Mein Phir Aaja Re

O Ri Chiraiya

Nanhi Si Chidiya

Angana Mein Phir Aaja Re

O Ri Chiraiya

FULL EPISODE OF SATYAMAVE JAYATE (EPISODE 1)

If

Long ago , once upon a time
in rhythm singing hymn
three horseman in the night
rode to a destination bright

they rode till they approached a river bed
when in the darkness , an unknown voice said
"Halt" . to this they obeyed
and none to his command did forbade

he commanded from horses to descend
and asked the triumvirs to bend
pick pebbles from the ground,in pockets keep
in horses ascend and to their courses leap

they did as instructeed,they did as said
and waited for more, from the voice from river bed

with handful pebbles in pockets their job ended
the voices said" you have done as I commanded.
Tomorrow you at sunrise, you will be glad and sorry"
Astonished,the horsemen rode on with little worry

the sun arose,in pockets their hand went
seeing a miracle, they miraculously didnt faint
to precious gems,the pebbles had transformed
diamonds,sapphires,emeralds: all had gems formed

The warning of the voice they remembered
"Both glad and sorry" thinking they lingered
Glad because a handful gems they now owned
sorry because they had not taken enough stone

Enough's fullfillment makes life wilt
to have pond instead of sea, always remains a guilt.
