Composition - Archana Kamath Hegdekar
Prelude – The song “ Ae Savere “ stirs the soul of
every human being with a compassionate heart who can feel the sorrows of others
by being in their shoes . When I first heard the song and saw the visuals of
the song , I was literally moved to tears because the concept of the song is
based on the mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits due to militancy in the 1990s from the paradise on earth .
Savere , Savere
Ab man bhi ja aa savere, Itne bure naheen hai andhere
Oh dawn ! I am trying to persuade you that
the darkness is not so bad as it seems.
Yaadon main kuch dher thehre, Mehfooz banau ke pehre
Let's linger awhile in our memories . I want to protect my memories with guards .
Ae savere ae savere Haa savere ae savere
This dawn brings hope of a new beginning and erases the wounds of the past.
Pehle jo dard ke bahane ban gaye
I face the memories of the past,which became the reasons for my sorrow.
Jakhmon ke nishan khazane ban gaye
The traces of wounds have turned into treasures.
Kagajo pe utre fasane ban gaye
What was once written in paper has turned into legends.
Sun rubaroo hun main tere, Pehchan bhi jaa savere
Maan bhi jaa savere, Savere , haan savere
Savere , aae savere
I am face to face with a new beginning . Please recognise
me and give me hope .
Labzon ke bayan, Sahare toh nahi
The consoling words of people bring no comfort,and they cannot end the strife.
Hai jo darmiyaan, Kinare toh nahi
The distance between us remains unresolved.
Kafilon se guzarein, Tum hare toh nahin
Tell me that you have not lost yourself wandering in caravans
after facing exodus from your homeland .
Sun hoo ba hoo hun main tere, Pehchan bhi jaa savere
Maan bhi jaa savere, Savere , haan savere
Savere , aae savere
I am exactly the same as you (the dawn). Please recognise
me and give me hope .
Postlude – Soni Razdan and Taha Shah Badussha have brought the emotions of a Kashmiri Pandit mother and son returning to their homeland to immerse the ashes of the father in the river after his death as his last wish . The lyrics, beautifully penned by Sunanya Kachroo, bring out the pain of any person who had to move out of their homeland due to war, riots or militancy . The ruminating thoughts of trauma and the accounts of people displaced, which come as newspaper headlines and stories lost in the sands of time , form the core of the song . The ending verses of the song acknowledge the resilience of humanity and their ability to move on in life as time heals every wound .
