Listening to this while I am alone , I can't even begin express how I feel , I am a Palestinian who studies in Bangladesh , far away from his family, listens to a kashmiri song that he barely understands 2 words of it , and feeling like he belongs to kashmir , thank you for this amazing masterpiece ❤️

This song gives expression to my existential angst. It feels so cathartic to hear these beautiful words in this painful state away from home. Here are the lyrics with translation: ""Rah Bakshtam Ser Parvardigaro Tsche kyoho waatiyo myani marnai "" Oh the benevolent Lord forgive me my sins What will you gain with my death? What will you gain with my death? "Sepaar Treh mar parim aki aanoo, pher noo kuni gom zere zabre", Ashqun khat kaensi por na yakbaro, Tsche kyoho waatiyo myanih marnai" I recited thirty ‘Siparas’ of the Holy Quran in a single sitting, faithfully adhering to the diacritical intonations; Yet no one the valentine letter punctuated with love could read with such facile speed. "Hyena Beh aayas dyen kyoho baryo Ven kuy rang gom khaase babere" Deep enmaeshed, I drag my days of life in suffocation Like a lush green basil fading away into non- being.. " Lole sui thovthamo lalvun naaro Tsche kyoho waatiyo myanih marnai" With the fire of love smouldering within my chest What will you gain with my death?

[@ravidhar1306]

This song was initially sung by Nirmala Devi & recorded in 1968 by Radio Kashmir. Music was by Late Omkar Aima. The version was real Kashmiri tune & was for 15 mins, & played for about 8 months on Aakashwani Delhi. Now we don't see the recording. The current version is a hybrid music which only few youngsters like.
