ROV [lost] Ft. Faheem Abdullah & Hyder Dar
On ROV [Lost], we experience this loss through two different perspectives. Faheem Abdullah explores the emotions of a mother who has lost her son to the conflict – either via disappearances or encounters. On the other hand, Ahmer speaks about two lovers who lost their relationship and their ability to communicate due to the instability created by the conflict in the world’s most militarized region.

LYRIC BREAKDOWN
Nyuham janaan adijan mea soor goam.
They took my beloved (son), and my bones became ash.
Rovum janaan duniya door goam.
I lost my beloved (son), away from this world.
Kernas lachaar, ghar kus mea czhoor pyom?
He made me helpless. Who is this thief in my house?
Pyevnas asmaan, mechi tall guroor goam.
He made me fall from the skies, my pride was buried.
Roodas logg naar, dozakh zaroor goam.
The rain caught fire, hell was made sure for me.
Thovnam mokjaar, mahshar yeat poor goam.
My accounts are settled, my judgement day trials were taken here.
VERSE I
Doondhu tume har khushi mein,
I find you in happiness,
Doondhu tume har ghum mein bhi,
I find you in sadness too,
Haan waisi rahi na ye zindagi,
It’s true, life hasn’t been the same ever since,
Phir zinda ho jaye ye sapna hi,
Yet I wish the dream we had is still alive
Hari jo jung ab bhi larta mein,
I fight the war I have already lost,
Tumne hi toh bola tha rukna nahi,
Cuz I remember you told me not the stop,
Hai jid o jehad ye andhre si, par ab bhi tum nazro ki roshini,
This struggle is like the night that’ll never end, but if I see your eyes, I’ll find hope,
Ye waada tha mera hum milenge,
I promised I’ll meet you again,
Ye qabza khatam hoga khileghe,
Once this siege ends, we will rise from the ashes,
Leke phir chinar se rahat kuch thodi,
We find comfort under chinar yet again,
Aman ke bagheecho mein, dilo ke,
In the garden of peace, where our hearts will rest,
Tham jaye ye waqt, thi rab se guzarish,
I hope God hears me out and the time stops somehow,
Adhuri kahani dil likh paata,
I wanted to pen down story that was unfinished,
Hum zinda toh mujrim the aur sab munasif,
When we were alive, we were criminals,
Tha na manzoor hume chup jaana,
The real culprits were free, but we didn’t hide,
Ruk jaana, haath se phisle jo raet,
Holding on to the sand that’s slipping through the fingers,
Zu chum dazaan aaz dhak dhak gai teyaz,
My heart burns and I can’t stop palpitations,
Cxe rawikh kati? Rag rag chak miyen,
I never lost you, you are in my veins,
Pheraan yeli chuon zan cxalaan chum zameen,
Whenever I miss you, I’m lost and I can’t find my way,
Aes samkhov, be rallo, yiman khaaban manz,
We will meet again, we will feel again, in these dreams,
Jhelum kis aabas manz,
Jhelum will find us,
Be wado, be asso,
We will cry again, and laugh again
Zinda rozakh cxe miyanen khayalan manz
You will always live in my thoughts,
Rovum janaan,
They took my beloved,
Antam janaan,
Bring back my beloved,
Wantam janaan,
Speak, my beloved
