i have listened to this long time back but i did not understand what the song represent... care to shed some light djz?

[IamDZJ]

songs generally represent love sahil. it's plain pashto so if you speak the language you should understand it fine. it's probably the only the only pashto song to which one could slow dance. also it's written by ghani khan.

Sahil - a link to a "transmogrification" of Ghani Khan's The Prison dream. Transmogrifications are not word for word translations, but use slight adaptations.

... musings from a distance ...: The Prison Dream (2)

The original poem was written during Ghani Khan's incarceration in Hyderabad in 1948, (during one of the repeat bouts of the members of the Bacha Khan clan falling foul of the state authorities).

I love this rendition by Fiza Fiyaz. The voice is very mellow.

i understood the pashto but its just the way the song has been sung, its very different from say the normal pashto songs you get thats why i was just stuck on the meaning behind it but tor khan cleared it up for me so i get it nw and thanks

English Translation:

Title: The Prison Dream

I dream, I dream, and seek for it some answer from the world.
I lie and rest my head on the beloveds lap;

I dream that I set off like a butterfly;
Fly round a narcissus and skim past a jasmine;
Circle the necklace round the beloveds delicate neck
And hail her, invisible, with silent greetings.
I dream, and seek for it some answer from the world
I dream...

I dream that I set out shrouded in a zephyr;
Go to my darlings side as a vision of love;
Hang before her eyes like a desert dream,
And lose in one jangle the riches of my life.
I dream, and seek for it some answer from the world
I dream...

I dream of an evening at a garden full of flowers
Red eyes of the cupbearer with wine in ruddy hands;
Fingers on a sitar in elation like Khayyams,
Gently turning over it the sweet fable of love.
I dream, and seek for it some answer from the world
I dream...

I dream, I dream, and seek for it some answer from the world.
I lie and rest my head on the beloveds lap;
I dream...

Written by Ghani Khan in Hyderabad Jail 1948
