The Latest Inspirations

Been listening to a couple of inspirational songs that need a special mention.

1) Umeed-e-Sahar (Artists: Laal)

Both these songs are amaaaaazingly inspirational; tried translating the second one to English for the non-punjabi speakers but I couldn't do justice to the original poetry. I'd appreciate if someone can contribute something that conveys the soul of the message. Hope you have as much fun as I do listening to these all day :)

Khawaar :P

Zeeshan Sohail said...

@ Farhan: It's about time you typed in something other than "Khawaar" in my blog comments :P

Saira Andleeb said...

This is basically Bulleh Shah's poetry. Im sure you'd be able to find many translations online ... especially of these verses.
