Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Swanand Kirkire
Label: Zee Music Company
Singer: Zeb Bangash
Note: This song is based on a verse uttered by Amir Khusro, a Sufi musician, poet and scholar about
the Kashmir being a heaven upon Earth. Ironically, the verses that follow in the song are like a satire
because the current situation of Kashmir due to terrorism and war is the exact opposite of how Amir
felt when he said these lines.
Gar Firdaus, Baru Ye Zamin Ast
If there’s paradise on Earth someplace
Haminastu, Haminastu (Hamin Asto)...
It is here/this, it is here
(This is the exact verse said by Amir Khusro in Persian language upon seeing the beauty of Kashmir)
Meri Jaan Rooh Dil Se Baabasht
Where my life, my soul and my heart reside
Haminastu, Haminastu Haminastu...
It is here, it is here
Gar Firdaus, Baru Ye Zamin Ast
If there’s paradise on Earth someplace
Haminastu, Haminastu Haminastu...
It is here, it is here
Meri Jaan Rooh Dil Se Baabasht
Where my life, my soul and my heart reside
Haminastu, Haminastu Haminastu...
It is here, it is here
Ho… Khamosh Darakhton Ke Saaye
The shadows of the trees are all silent
Ye Khauf Hai Soya Sa…
This is terror that is asleep
Ho… Kuch Khoya Khoya Humne Bhi
I’ve also lost something
Yeh Chehra Hai Roya Sa…
My face looks as if it has cried
Murjhaate Gulon Ne Jhuk Ke Kaha
The withering flowers bowed down and said this
Humein Aadat Hai Haminastu Haminastu…
We are habituated to this here
Chalte Lamhon Ne Ruk Ke Kaha
The walking moments stopped and said this
Inaayat Hai Haminastu Haminastu…
This is like kindness for us here
Ye Veerane… Ye Sannate…
These desolate places, these silences
Kya Bol Rahe Hain, Aate Jaate… Aate Jaate…
What are they saying while passing by?
Ho…
Panchhi Saare Udd Gaye Kahin
All the birds have flown away someplace
Bas Ghonsle Hai Haminastu…
Only empty nests remain here
Gar Jannat Hai Zameen Pe Kahin
If there’s paradise on Earth someplace
Yahin Pe Hai Haminastu Haminastu…
It is here, it is here
