Husna - Hitesh Sonik feat Piyush Mishra, Coke Studio @ MTV Season 2

A special leak from episode 2 of Coke Studio @ MTV S2! Watch it here even before it appears on TV! Hitesh had heard Piyush Mishra sing this song 15 years back and it has stuck with him ever since. Written and composed by Piyush, this song is a letter from Javed who was separated from his lover Husna during the partition. Inspite of having left everything behind and eventually moving on, there is a looming sense of helplessness and grief in the song. Musically Hitesh has tried to recreate that era through interesting acoustic guitar arrangements blended with Indian percussions. In keeping with the upheaval experienced by the lovers, Hitesh also ends the song on a tumultuous high. Want more? Catch the full episode on Saturday at 7PM on MTV and 8:30PM on Doordarshan!

Hota ujaala kya vaisa hi hai Jaisa hota hindustan mein Haan -- o husna Waheer ke ranjan ke nagmein Mujko ab tak aa aake sataien Woh bulley shah ki takriro Ke jheeney jheeney saaye Wo id ki iddi Lambee mamazey seyvaiyan ki Jhallar Who diwali key deeye sang mein Baisaakhee ki badal Holi jki who lakdi jisme Sang sang aanch lagaee (5) Lohodee ka who shuvaa Jis mey -- dhadkhan hai sulgaaee O husna meri ye toh batade Don lohodee ka dhuvaa Kya abhi nikalta hai Jaisa nilkalta tha Uss daur mein haan Vahaan -- phisnaa The meaning: The song is about a person who has lived and seen the times of India-Pakistan being one nation...times, when people shared a beautiful equation of warmth and oneness, in spite of its religious diversity. He is telling Husna ( in this context, can mean either the "kind Allah" or his mate across the border) about the longing and the painful wait he is going through, to feel what it is to be on the other side. He asks (with disheartened sarcasm) if the Partition has changed the course of sunrise and the fall of the leaves in autumn on the other side...as it use to be the same before. He misses the ballads of heer-ranjha's everlasting love, those melodies still haunt him. And the wise words of Bulleh Shah (The Sufi Poet-Saint) still guide him. He asks whether all the faiths (Muslim, Hindu and Sikh) still celebrate each other's festivals like Eid, Diwali, Holi and Lohri as their own, with the same warmth and enthusiasm...as it was before the Great Divide. Those were the times of no boundaries, no religious divide and no hatred.... Download this song NOW! http://www.itunes.com/cokestudio
