Oludare Padilla
I agree with you i also tend to stereotype.. but love to believe that Pakistanis are not diff than we are... i dont pesornally know any tho.. hv loved whatever Plays i ahve seen and form what appears form the shows they seem very much like us..
wud love to catch up on another one.. so may be this one.. loved the songs...
Very Nice and insightful but as an urdu speaking person, please allow me to say that the meaning of the title song, Hamsafar, is not entirely correct eg. Dhoop Chhaon is an idiom that shows things that come and go but are always one after the other (so together). Also, its not Kajal dalo, it's Kajal daron which means bad khol (i think... its not used very often :p)
Hello,
The ghazal Woh Humsafar Tha is one of my favourites. As for me the thing that is important for liking a song is the lyrics. I am a big fan of Urdu and believe it is a wonderful language. Thankfully I do know how to read it and can understand it to some extent, as I had learnt the same in my schooling days. Still some of the more poetic words I have to search to understand the meaning. Likewise for this ghazal I googled. And I must say you have done a great job.Thanks.
About my concept of Pakistan and its people, like any Indian was driven by anger. I must say I was judgemental about it. But when I saw the serial Humsafar, my viewpoint changed drastically for good.
I must say it is much better than any of the indian soaps. More emotional than sensational. The story and characters are realistic and relatable.
After watching both the dramas you have talked about, I personally prefer Humsafar over Zindagi... Let me tell you I am not a romantic at all. And hardly, say 1 out 10 times would watch or read a romance. Humsafar is now to stay in my good books for a long time.
i was googling for the english translation of the song humsafar and came across your blog. btw im from karachi...Pakistan...and i had no idea pakistani plays were popular other than in pakistan and Arab nations.
btw thanks alot for the translation, the ghazal is in traditional urdu and no the easy city urdu we normally speak.. :P btw i dont understand what you meant by 'i dint expect upper classes to dress that way' ?? can you elaborate on that please?? the dressing is still a bit too decent and conservative by real standards i think :P btw great effort would suggest you watch 'maat' and 'durreshewar'.
i hope you wont mind what im about to say but i believe pakistanis are more aware of indian culture and how they are in real life etc due to the exposure they have to thier media while it is not the same for the other side..... anyways i cant thank you enough for the translation :)
Fawad khan's performance in the show 'Dastaan' is noteworthy too.That series is basically where he made his name. however that show is a bit too heavy, it makes you cry a river...its excellent no doubt and the lead actress who plays Bano shares an amazing chemistry with fawad ....but its based on the partition. some dialogues or scenes might make you cringe which will take away from the enjoyment factor for you.
Thank you- everyone who has read and appreciated the post.
I really appreciate the comments- puts a voice on the viewer.
About the comment on the clothes- that was from "Zindagi Gulzar Hai".
I am Indian but have loved Pakistani plays since the days of "Dhoop Kinare" (have watched the whole play 4-5 times) "Tanhaiyan" etc.
I tried watching "Maat" but I cannot like shows where sisters/ Families are so nasty to each other - even if it happens in real life. I do know about "Dastaan" too- again- too heavy
hmmm...you are not a fan of heavy stuff, but you like romances...well i just recently finished watching 'fatmagulun sucu ne' a turkish series and absolutely loved it.
it would be great to read what you write about it.
So I listen to the song on 8tracks, liked it a lot..wanted to hear it again, youtube, wow interesting lyrics, youtube with lyrics, whoa I don't understand, google, Ruminating Rhetoric, hear the song again, loving it, want to know more..ok there is more below the meaning of the lyrics.. Pakistani TV Series..okhay.... the bogger says watch 2-3 as it is something else, have heard about Pakistani playes being brilliant, Saturday late afty, can't hurt, Youtube Humsafar, episode 1......mind=blown!
All thanks to you.. I hate all dramas mostly (not a big fan of watching sadness as a form of entertainment..applies to horror as well) I watch dramas for other aspects.. direction, dialogue placements, honesty and depth of characters, where I get to learn the characters.. usually won't be able to attach myself to series and so may not watch the whole thing.. but this was really fast paced and great acting as well by every character.. Being an indian I know what you meant by Indian soaps (which go on and on as there never really is a story and they keep attaching based on TRPs then) Case in point current K-series.. think they only have story of 7 honest episodes, but will run for 7 years on a daily basis.. absolute bull-crap.. Was very pleasantly surprised with Humsafar.. Thanks again
Great article , I am in love in this song for quite some time now , the most exciting thing is the treatment given to the ghazal from the artist , the best part was however the poem which can be used on all of who open the secret before you have even watched the movie.
thank you for the wonderful translation.i agree with your thought that urdu is quite a poetic language. i am listening to this song for the past week and still cant get enough of it.
the serial humsafar is quite good unlike many of the indian tv soaps. i got a chance to watch pakistani serials in the recently launched tv channel by zee and have finished watching zindagi gulzar hai. i must say they make quality content there. can you also please translate zgh's ost by hadiqa kiani ? i would be very grateful to you.
I came across ZGH through Zee Zindagi channel although I had read a lot about Humsafar over the internet but couldn't catchup with it(not into online watching much).
I have always had some kind of fondness for Urdu words since my growing up years and now when I am grown up I just love to hear them.As you said they are very poetic.Now I wish to learn Urdu someday.
Came across your blog now searching for english translation of this beautiful song 'Woh Humsafar Tha'.Waiting for its telecast on Zindagi.
Definately would love to read your non urdu stuff.
we love 2 read ur non urdu pages. non urdu ppl can also understand humsafar & ZGH lyrics. i love 2 hear this song. always feel pain after hearing this song. i watch this serial no. of times. im very big fan of these serials (Humsafar & ZGH) . i dont know the raga of these songs. like u im also searching 4 lyrics & interviews & starcast. im crazily following fawad, sanam & mahira. ur very good this lyrics, pl write about mere qatil mere dildar mere paas raho ( if they know d meaning of this lyrics they can enjoy the serial) (this serial is going 2 air in Zindagi chnnel). wat a beautiful composition & lyrics. pl introduce 4 non urdu ppl. chahe tum mujhko sawaro chahe barbad karo (i know d meaning of this song) (another painful serial & song) but d whole day i sing this song. why pakistani serial r always painful. but still like to watch. i love to read ur other articles. see u after reading other blogs. upto now i only watch regional & hindi. reasently started watching all pak serials (credit goes to sanam & fawad)
Thankyou Meenakshi for writing this post and comming up with the translation. Interesting watching these Dramas among many others have lately made me fall in love with the Pakistan literature. Like you I too had many misunderstandings about condition of women in Pakistan and its society. But after watching these I found out they are absolutely similar in their thoughts and relationships like us. They Idioms, family values, thought process is absolutely similar like ours with a few difference in customs. And probably their Drama's are far better than Dramas in India (which I could never follow more than a week except a few comedy or classics)
I am in love with this ghazal. Enjoyed reading your post!
I just loved your blog! I agree to the fact that pakistani dramas are beautiful.. I'm just 2 pakistani dramas old one zindagi and humsafar the other.. From the comments above planning of Dastaan to be my next.
Hey Meenakshi, your blog is amazing! I am actually from Pakistan and came across your blog as someone made a post on twitter. I was reading some of the comments here and would like to say to everyone that I've ALWAYS believed that Indians, Pakistanis, people from Bangladesh..we are very much same since we have the same roots. Our media try to portray the people under one colour but the reality is always different. You'd be surprised how different Pakistan is as compared to how it's shown on any medium. We have yoga classes here, and people are obsessed with Bollywood. I, for one, am a DIE-HARD fan of Kareena since 14 years. Kareena and Katrina are extremely popular stars here. We love Indian food (personal favourite is Dhokla and Dosa) but sadly it's not served in any restaurant that I know, so I just get those GITS company boxes and make myself. I also love and admire Sri Pramahansa Yogananda ji (read Autobiography of a Yogi). Basically, I don't want to just point things out about myself only, but talking in a general sense. It's only when any of us go to the western countries, we actually become friends and never think about our differences. I've lived in Canada for 12 years and had Indian, Sri Lankan friends etc. but never thought where they were from, it's only the love and personality that kept us together.
Hey meenakshi thanks for such a beautiful translation. I hv been loving this songg since the day i heard ir the very first time.... N even love watching Humsafar too... Since the day Zee Zindagi channel is launched in india i hv become a great fan of Pakistani serials... I love the way they talk especially urdu their dressing sense n everything..... After watching Maat Humsafar Zindagi Gulzar Hai n many more i never found any difference between the people of India n Pakistan..... Hope other people also differentiate between us.. :)
