Artist: Zara Madani
Song: Moray Nainaan – My eyes – مورے نیناں
Language: Braj
Lyricist: Asim Raza
Song Info:
‘Moray Naina’, formerly known as ‘Passion’ is a song that blends the age-old language of Braj with contemporary trippy percussive elements. The melody was composed by Zara Madani and was produced by Rohail Hyatt for an album that was in the works 6 years ago. A song that combines the meditative and pulsing qualities of spiritual intricacies set in the East contrasted with the elements of Moroccan and African beats. Thematically, the song deals with the mania that ensues in the process of total submersion into the ocean of Love. The tone is one of joy, yet in complete mystery of the State – hence the contrast found in passionate Love. On this path of Love, all caution is thrown to the wind as devotion is reserved for what is concealed, hence the state of what the world labels ‘Insane.’ The song’s flow oscillates, as does the theme, that while the freefall into Love has caused a complete change of perspective to the world, the inner peace accompanied with the mania becomes the constant, driving force to dwell in the State.

Lyrics:
مورے نیناں
more nainaan
My eyes…
عرج گجاریں
araj gujaaren
Humbly plead
دیدارن کی گرج اساریں
deedaaran ki garaj usaaren
They beg to behold your vision
کھلڑے گیس گلے میں ڈاریں
khulṛe ges gale men ḍaaren
Half-crazed, my hair all astray
دید کی پیاسی
deed ki pyaasi
Thirsting for the sight of you
بل بل ہاری
bal bal haari
I offer myself as your faithful devotee
ہاری
haari
…offer myself
