Hello Open Mic People!
We (Mohammad Muneem & I ) are back after a long time!!! 😎
Been busy with a lot of stuff and still nowhere close to having free time. But we were rehearsing for a gig which is on the 28th and I thought we could quickly squeeze in an Open Mic entry.
So this is just a 2 track bounce directly from the mixer.
Here is the gig poster in case anyone is in Mumbai and wants to drop in 🙌🏽
About The Track:
Shoshe Ka Chashma is the 5th track from the album Sufayed by my band Alif. (@wordsofalif)
Shoshe Ka Chashma literally means "The Show-Off Goggles".
"Shosha" is a term used often in North-India is it means showing-off.
The song talks about how today's world is drowned vanity and unless you "show-off" your talent, no-one is going to acknowledge it.
So here we are, showing off at the Open Mic 🤓
Lyrics:
khamoshi beychoun,chillayega koun
gar baksay mein rakh chodoun khareedega koun
har fann kay maula miltay hai roz
kis se main seekhoun, sikhayega koun
yeh jo shosha hai tera jo hai aabne khareeda
kaisay mein beychoun
aainay se baatein karta houn kyun
uss kounay mein mera bistar hai, sulayega koun
haan khud ki zehmat hoon, nibhana kusoor
par shoshe ka chasma lagana zaroor
ye jo bezaar khazaney hai,
sabke sab jo tumhare hai
kaise mein beychoun
chadar hai bistar hai takiya bhi hai
kaisay mein sou zaalim aashiq beparda hai
kehnay ko tou ye mohabbat bechain hai
hargiz issmein tum na padna khoobsurat hai
kya mein bechoun kya kareedoun shosha hai
kyun mein bechoun kyun kareedoun shosha hai
unko dekhoun khud ko dekhoun shosha hai
kya mein bechoun kya kareedoun shosha hai
Translation (almost literal):
If I sell my silence, who is going to scream?
If I box it up, who will buy it?
I meet people with different talents every day
Whom must I learn from, who will teach me
This "Show-off" of yours, which everyone has bought
How do I sell?
Why do I talk to the mirror?
My bed is in that corner, who will put me to sleep?
I do have to fulfil this pain and uneasiness inside of me
But putting on the "Show-off Goggles" is necessary
All these uninteresting treasures are all yours
How do I sell?
My quilt, my bed, my pillow, it is all there
But how do I sleep, my oppressive lover is unveiled
This love is said to be restless
But do not fall for it, for it is beautiful
what do I sell, what do I buy, its all a "show-off"
why must I sell, why must I sell its all a "show-off"
I see them, I see myself its all a "show-off"
what do I sell, what do I buy, its all a "show-off"
Here is a lyrics Video for the original song:
