immersed in the essence of Balochistan, the captivating song “Droge’n Wadaar” resonates with deep emotions. Khair jan Baqiri pours his heart into this composition, accompanied by heartfelt lyrics written by Ijaz Bazzag.
Let’s embark on a journey through the verses that intricately weave a touching story:
ابا منی ابا منی
ابا منی بْیا ابلی
ما بے ترا سک بزگاں
دروگیں ودارے پہ زندگاں”
These verses pay a sincere tribute to mothers who have endured the pain of losing their children, expressing their grief and yearning. Each word echoes their daily hope for the safe return of their abducted loved ones.
تو بندی ءِ باریں کُجا
ھالاں مئے گِندیت ھُدا
چنچو ازاباں کپتگ آں
گُژنیں دلے گوں وتئ وپتگاں
کَسے نئیت اِیں مئے مُشکل ءَ
لوگ مئے چو گُشئے کربلا”
These lines shed light on the secret places where the forcibly disappeared are held captive. Innocent souls become victims of enforced disappearances, burdening their families with poverty and sorrow. Their suffering often goes unnoticed, as society fears the potential consequences.
چم وداریگاں راہ ئے
بچ منی تو کَدی کائے
زھیراں تئیگ ءَ من کوراں
تھت ءِ میاراں کمزور آں”
In these verses, a mother’s anguished plea yearns for the safe return of her children. Tears cloud her eyes each day as she yearns for their presence. The weight of waiting weakens her, confining her to her bed.
چُکاں تئ گِنداں من تْرکیت جگر
چُنڈے پہ نان ءَ دینت ایں ھبر”
These lines reveal the predicament faced by the missing children. Their absence is deeply felt as they endure harsh circumstances and beg for even the smallest sustenance. Their ceaseless cries reflect their longing to be reunited with their family.
This composition encapsulates the realities of Balochistan, embraced by a beautiful melody. Its words have the power to evoke genuine emotions. Let us cherish and support the Balochi music industry as it continues to create heartfelt songs, shedding light on the struggles endured by afflicted families in Balochistan.
