Tu na jaane aas pass hai (definitely)khuda

The path seems to perpetually lost, there is no confusion and you would like to be perpetually in drunken numbing stupor. Till you just cant think of anything, cant sense the sadness. You try to rub off whatever destiny seems to have written on the forehead. Pain, so much inside, seems to be oozing out from the eyes, from the very being…wondering how much you can handle, with feet bucking under the weight of pain and loss. You just feel like running away, but seems feet have leaden and cold and mind numb…the night and dark just never seems to get over. Just when one pain has dulled, there is infliction of something deeper, more gruesome. Friends seem to leave and near ones out of sight. You are with yourself and only you can understand how you are feeling. Words are insufficient and “I understand” like sympathetic words actually annoy you. In the darkest moments, life is bleak and the faith in the supreme best shakes to the fullest. But something less nasty happens and you revive your faith in him. It happens. When you are there some where, you look at your hand and try and wipe away those lines which seem to have made your future…at times tearfully looking at them, trying to decipher like a map to faraway place. Wondering if you can see some way out the way those lines curl…but that rarely happens. And Mr. God seems to be fulfilling our wishes when we least expect or when we have already lost interest in them.
When you are at the lowest. This song seems to lift the spirits…yes. That yes there is indeed end to the seemingly status quo. The pain and hurt.The song starts with miniscule strumming of acoustic guitar (?) starts a bit with more music and starts with high pitch RFAK voice (my fav) that startles the ear. “tu na jane aas paas khuda” mixes with some more other music, with drums and fiery notes of guitar…blending with ustaad’s voice…the pauses are beautifully filled with electric guitar’s notes…classical voice blending lovely with western influenced music…the crumbs of “pa de ni” of ustaad’s signature style…the song and music mellows down with stanzas and reaches the peak and high pitch with the chorus…it reaches its crescendo and slowly reaches down…like wave…up and down balanced very well…the rythmatic drum beats like whip lashes…punctuating the chorus..leaving you optimistic in the end…”tu na jaane aas paas hai khuda”
