  • Pasoori’: What do the lyrics of the Coke Studio song mean?

    Pasoori’: What do the lyrics of the Coke Studio song mean?

    If there’s one thing you need to see on the internet, it’s Coke Studio’s season 14’s song ‘Pasoori’. The song has over 113 million views on YouTube since its release three months ago and is playing on the radio everywhere, from the United Arab Emirates to Canada. All seem fully captivated by song sung by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill.

    Before we dwell on the magical journey of the Punjabi lyrical composition, let’s first understand what the word ‘pasoori’ means.

    ‘Pasoori’ is a Punjabi word loosely translated in two ways in Urdu as ‘kashmakash‘ and ‘jaldbazi/teezi’ meaning difficulty/conflict and impatience/hasty.

    Punjabi speakers casually use this word as “Enu bari pasoori pai hoi ay [This person is facing some difficult situation or this person is very impatient]”

    Majestic words written by Ali Sethi and Fazal Abbas, definitely have taken everyone on a listening spree. ‘Pasoori’ turns all angst into art, with its lyrics signifying the need to celebrate artistic self-expression.

    Here is what the lyrics of Pasoori mean.

    [Verse 1: Ali Sethi]
    Agg lavan majboori nu
    Set fire to your worries

    Aan jaan di pasoori nu
    To waiting and to hurries

    Zehar bane haan teri
    If your love is poison

    Pee jaavan main poori nu
    I will drink it in a flurry

    Aana si o nai aaya
    He said he’d come, he never did

    Dil baang baang mera takraya
    My heart lurched and slid

    Kaga bol ke dus jaavein
    Let the crow tell me why

    Paavan gheyo dee choori nu
    And feast on sweet supply

    [Pre-Chorus: Ali Sethi]
    Raawaan ch baawan ch o nu lukawaan
    I will hide him and bide him in loving embraces

    Koi mainu naa roke
    No one makes me stop

    [Chorus: Ali Sethi]
    Mere dhol judaiyaan di, tenu khabar kivein hove
    My love how can you know what happens when we part

    Aa jaave dil tera, poora vi na hove
    I hope you fall in love, I hope it breaks your heart

    Haan baniyan banaiyaan di, gal baat kivein hove
    How will the willing, communicate

    Aa jaave dil tera, poora vi na hove
    I hope you fall in love, I hope it breaks your heart

    [Verse 2: Shae Gill]
    Bhul gayi majboori nu
    I forgot about my chains

    Duniya di dastoori nu
    and people refrain

    Saath tera hai bathera
    You are enough for me

    Poora kar zaroori nu
    Fulfil my destiny

    Aana si o nai aaya
    He said he will come but he never did

    Raasta na dikhlaaya
    I could not see the way was hidden

    Dil humara de sahara
    My heart gives solace

    Khaahishaat adhoori nu
    to wishes unfulfilled

    [Pre-Chorus: Shae Gill]
    Waari main jaavan, main tenu bulavaan
    I dote on you, I call out you name

    Gal saari taan hove
    Let’s have it out, for shame

    [Chorus: Shae Gill]
    Mere dhol judaiyaan di, tenu khabar kivein hove
    My love, how can you know what happens when we part

    Aa jaave dil tera, poora vi na hove
    I hope you fall in love, I hope it breaks your heart

    Haan baniyan banaiyaan di, gal baat kivein hove
    How will the willing communicate?

    Aa jaave dil tera, poora vi na hove
    I hope you fall in love, I hope it breaks your heart

    [Bridge: Shae Gill & Ali Sethi]
    Mere dhol judaiyaan di, sardaari na hove
    My love, don’t let this distance reign

    Mere dhol judaiyaan di
    My love, what of this distance

    Ahhhhaaaaaaa


    Mere dhol judaiyaan di, sardaari na hove
    My love, don’t let this distance reign

    Dildaaran di, sab yaaaran di, aazaari na hove
    Don’t let these lovers be in pain

    Dildaaran di, sab yaaaran di, aazaari na hove
    Don’t let these lovers be in pain

    Aa chalein le ke tujhe
    Come let’s go away

    Hai jahaan silsilay
    where all the lovers meet

    Tu hai wahi, hai teri kami
    You are the one, it’s you I need

    Bana de, saza de, panah de hume
    Give me life, give me love, take me in your arms

    Bana de, saza de, panah de hume
    Give me life, give me love, take me in your arms

    Agg lavan majboori nu

    How will the willing communicate

    Aa jaave dil tera, poora vi na hove
    I hope you fall in love, I hope it breaks your heart

    ‘Martay dum tak jhoota, meray naam pe TRP kamana nahi chor sakta, evil, lowlife’: Ayyan Ali lambasts Imran Khan

    Supermodel Ayyan Ali took to her official Twitter handle to respond to former PM Imran Khan’s allegations about her case. Khan recently claimed that the custom officer in the supermodel’s case was killed to facilitate her.

    However, Ali in a detailed thread on Twitter denied the accusation with ‘proofs’. The controversial celebrity called Imran Khan a liar and added that he can’t stop making false accusations against her despite being the PM for four years.

    In a series of controversial tweets, the Earthquake diva stated that Imran cannot stop taking her name to stay relevant and also can’t get rid of his habit of lying.

    https://twitter.com/AYYANWORLD/status/1524849620026900483?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1524849855172165649%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.siasat.pk%2Fmodel-ayyan-ali-responds-to-imran-khans-allegations-with-proofs%2F

  • ‘Handsome na hogay dobara’: Reham Khan takes a jibe at Imran Khan, shares viral video

    ‘Handsome na hogay dobara’: Reham Khan takes a jibe at Imran Khan, shares viral video

    Film producer-journalist Reham Khan took to her twitter handle to take a jibe at her ex-husband, Imran Khan. She re-shared his viral video in which the former PM can be seen fixing his hair.

    Actor-host Mishi Khan called out Reham for her remark by saying that she won’t get another chance (of being his wife).

    Earlier Mishi slammed the Janaan producer for her statements against showbiz celebs extending support to the former Prime Minister.

    The Nikaah star turned to Twitter to call out Reham for terming the showbiz celebs as ‘mummy daddy actors’, as the latter blamed the entertainment fraternity for not ‘raising their voice against Kashmir issue the way they are doing so against no-confidence vote’.

    In a video message shared by Khan on the micro-blogging site, she asked the journalist, “Why didn’t you take that step and supported Kashmir? Whom were you waiting for?”

    “You are always available to dictate us actors but when the Kashmir issue surfaced you were giving weather reports at BBC, teaching Salsa steps, and was busy with your luxurious foreign lifestyle,” she further remarked.

    “We are aware of the Kashmir issue and doing the needful for the cause, you shouldn’t preach us.”

    Furthermore, dubbing Reham as ‘speedy Gonzalves’, the ‘Janaan’ actor said in the video, “On behalf of the actors’ fraternity, we have all the right to support whoever we want to. You should continue with your job of recording irrelevant videos at National Assembly which is actually prohibited, and let us do ours.”

    Her message was followed by Reham’s reply who snubbed Mishi by asking netizens if she is the same friend of Imran Khan whom, Reham casted in Janaan in the role of Hania Aamir’s paternal aunt?

    “Oh isn’t she that friend of Imran I cast as the phuppo (aunt) in my film Janaan?”

    Reham’s tweet rubbed Mishi the wrong way and she replied to it in another video.

    Earlier the Ghazi Shaheed star took to her Instagram stories to slam Neelam Munir’s dance moves in her latest song Chirya from Yasir Nawaz’s Chakkar.
