Asar | Aero

Asar by Aero. A life that everyone wants but no one can carry. #asar Lyrics: Naam bhi… Maqaam bhi… Phir yeh kami kyun hai? Rutba ooncha, rooh be-ghar—yeh bhi kaisa hai safar? Naam saaray shehar mein, apni hi nahi khabar. Har salaam mein hisaab, har qareebi par sawaal, Itna hosh aa gaya ke chain se jeena muhaal. Jeet sab ko chaahiye, waqt pe kis ka ikhtiyaar? Aaj bhi kal ke naam, phir kal ka intezaar. Shamma bhi jala rakhi, dar bhi khula rakha, Aane ki khabar tak nahi, jaam bhi bhara rakha. Behlaaun dil ko, samjhaaun dil ko, Kismat ka naam de ke kyun chup karaaun dil ko? Har mehfil mein haazir, apne aap se faraar, Jitni barhti raunaq, utna gehra intezaar. Got a room with a view, still I sleep by the phone, Built a life they applaud, barely feel it’s my own. They can measure my rise, never measure the strain, Everybody knows the name—who remembers me plain? [Pre-Hook — lighter drums; measured delivery] Jitna naam barha, utna khud se faasla, Har nayi manzil pe phir wahi sawaal tha. Sab ko apni jeet ka yaqeen dila diya, Apne dil ko kis liye gawaah nahi bana saka? Naam duniya mein ho, dil tera ghar rehne de, Mere lehjay mein meri mitti ka asar rehne de. Jeet kar bhi mujhe jhuknay ka hunar rehne de, Mere andar wohi pehla sa bashar rehne de. Asar rehne de… Meri mitti ka asar rehne de. [Short instrumental — Rhodes and bass; beat continues] Shehar ne sikhaaya, har hansi ka ek matlab, Kuch ko tera saath chaahiye, kuch ko tera mansab. Haath sab se milaata, sab ko raaz nahi deta, Maaf kar deta hoon, phir woh ikhtiyaar nahi deta. Jo meri haar pe mehfil sajaaye baithay thay, Mere hi gaanay apni gaari mein lagaaye baithay thay. Jeet ka bhi shor hai, dil mein phir wahi sawaal— In ko hara ke jeeta hoon, ya kar ke kuch kamaal? Keep the bass in the trunk, keep my people out of debt, I can live with a loss, I can’t live with that regret. If my place at the table means you don’t get to eat, You can keep that chair. I can stand on my feet. Har talluq ko nafa samjho toh rishta kya bacha? Har dua mein sirf main hoon toh phir sajda kya bacha? Main ne duniya ko toh apne naam ka qaail kiya, Naam se baahar nikal kar main ne khud ko kya diya? [Hook — same restrained melody; fuller bass] Naam duniya mein ho, dil tera ghar rehne de, Mere lehjay mein meri mitti ka asar rehne de. Jeet kar bhi mujhe jhuknay ka hunar rehne de, Mere andar wohi pehla sa bashar rehne de. Asar rehne de… Meri mitti ka asar rehne de. Lahore se Dilli tak sunaai de mera naam, Mere andar hi adhura kyun reh jaaye kalaam? Har mulaaqaat mein matlab, har talluq ka hisaab, Chehray parhta hoon magar kyun samajh aata nahi insaan? Apni zaat ke shor mein teri sada gum ho gayi, Khud ko itna bhar liya, teri jagah kam ho gayi. Is bharay se dil mein thori si jagah kar de, Mujh ko meri hi numaaish se riha kar de. Naam duniya mein ho, dil tera ghar rehne de, Mere lehjay mein meri mitti ka asar rehne de. Jeet kar bhi mujhe jhuknay ka hunar rehne de, Mere andar wohi pehla sa bashar rehne de. Naam rahe na rahe… Asar rehne de. Main rahoon na rahoon… Meri mitti ka asar rehne de. Naam mera… Mitti meri… Asar tera. Aero. Follow on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aero.mu/
