Dareecha OST - Kaavish

 

Song – Dareecha OST

Singer – Jaffer Zaidi

Composition – Kaavish

Prelude – 'Galiyon pe chaya hua hai dua' by Kaavish is one of the rarest gems which takes us through the melodic notes of raag yaman kalyan. Jaffer Zaidi shows us the beauty of raag yaman kalyan meandering through the trails of the past. The strumming of the sitar transports us to a realm where music and the magic hidden behind words make life worth living. 

Galiyon pe chaya hua hai dhuan 

Gum hai maazi ke naam o nishaan 

There is smoke in the streets. The traces of the past are lost. 

Haveli ke peeche kachi puliyan tale 

Suiyon main soyi hui hai guliyan 

The flowers among thorns are sleeping under the fragile wooden bridge behind the mansion.

Thandey chand ki raaton main 

Thamti chalti saanson main 

The night is lit by the cold moonlight. The breaths are pausing as well as moving.  

Chaunk jaate hain dareechey 

Dharak jaati hai seediyan 

The windows are startled.The sound of the footsteps is like the heartbeats of the stairway.

Seene main jam gayi hai aag 

Barf ki tarha pigalti nahin 

There is a fire set in the heart which does not melt like snow. 

Keerchiyan hain maazi ki 

Chubti hain dil main nikalti nahin 

There are shards of glass piercing the heart due to the pain caused by past events. The pieces of glass prick but can't be removed. 

Postlude - The traces of the past are lost when burnt,and they rise like smoke. The hurt caused in the hero is like the pain induced in flowers pricked by thorns. The hero tiptoes on the stairway by controlling his breaths on a cold moonlit night. The windows are startled,and the sound of the footsteps is like the heartbeats of the stairway.The pain in as intense as fire is set in the heart. It doesn't go away like the snow that melts.The pain of the past pierces the heart like shards of glass. The pieces of glass penetrate through the heart but can't be removed.  The song takes us through the ruminating bad memories which trouble us from time to time. Even when we speak about living in the present, the ripples of the past can leave scars in our lives which can't be erased.
