Khaki Banda by Ahmed Jehanzeb and Umair Jaswal
‘Khaki Banda’ is a sufi-rock track without limiting itself within the boundaries or sticking to one musical genre, sound or style. Beautifully crafted lyrics penned by music director and composer, Shuja Haider – the duet featuring Ahmed Jehanzeb and Umair Jaswal captivates you from start to finish as a result of its carefully intricate instrumentation. Starting with the strumming of the guitar laying the foundation of the main riff of the track, the song builds on an atmosphere leading to the interval played impeccably on the violin by the string section, giving this track a definitive amount of energy and spirit from the onset. Jehanzeb’s melodic, dynamic singing style combined with Jaswal’s aggressive, energized vocals serve as the perfect accompaniment against the unstoppable groove, a flickering drumbeat and timely interludes of this magnum opus.

Khaki Banda by Ahmed Jehanzeb and Umair Jaswal
khaaki banda
karda phire khudaayi
lau la baitha dunya naal
rabb ton kare judaayi
nah kar bandya meri meri
nah teri nah meri
chaar dinaan da e mela dunya
fer matti di dheri
parh parh kitaabaan ‘ilm diyaan
naan rakkh liya ee qaazi
makke madeene ghum aaya te
naan rakh liya ee haaji
satrangi re nadani teri
nautanki re mann mani teri
deen dharam di gall baataan kar
kar ke wi samajh nah aayi
firqe wande ‘ilm na wandya
wich weeraan boyi la?aai
nah kar bandiya heri pheri
nah teri nah meri
chaar dinnaan da e mela
dunya fer matti di dheri
khoti neeyat khote sikke
na dewan saccha haani
badle ga toon badle ga sab
de nafs apne di toon qurbaani
sat-rangi re nadani teri
man-rangi re nadani teri
satrangi re nadani teri
nautanki re mann mani teri
hai zaat magar faani teri
aa dil de raste te chal
charhde sooraj dhalde wekhe
bujhde deewe balde wekhe
jinnaan da na jag te koi
oo vi puttar palde wekhe
loki kaihnde daal ni galdi
main te patthar galde wekhe
satrangi re nadani teri
nautanki re mann mani teri
satrangi re nadani teri
nautanki re mann mani teri
hai zaat magar faani teri
aa dil de raste te chal
sona chaandi heere moti kha lai toon
ucche makaanaan kamre bhaanwen saja lai toon
laazim nahi hai kih khushiyaan saari ki saari kama lai toon
raataan ch kalliyaan ro ro rabb apne noon mana lai toon
dhokkhe-baazi wich buzaara dekhe na sajjan bhaayi
raaz tere raaz mere jaane khuda di khudaayi
satrangi re nadani teri
nautanki re mann mani teri
satrangi re nadani teri
nautanki re mann mani teri
ai zaat magar faani teri
aa dil de raste te chal
