about

Kashmir's finest, Ahmer Javed, returns with a scorching new single that embodies the resilience of the Kashmiri community currently experiencing one of the most brutal crackdowns in recent memory. Titled Zor, the self-produced single features veteran MC and social activist Delhi Sultanate who draws parallels between the state's violent dismantling of the resistance in Kashmir and the anti-CAA protests that spread like wildfire across the country prior to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the unlawful and arbitrary detention of activists such as Safoora Zargara, Devanagana Katila (Pinjra Tod), Asif Sultan, Sudha Bharadwaj, Mahesh Raut and many others, the full extent of state's fear of people trying to hold it to account is finally out in the open, and at times like this, voices and efforts on part of artists like Ahmer and Delhi Sultanate help preserve the principles that we fight for.

lyrics

Intro:
OH MY LORD
THIS IS AHMER JAVED AND DELHI SULTANATE SCENE

Verse 1 Ahmer :

Main aaya, dekha, kiya haasil,
Kya kiya main?
Awaaz bezubaan ki, poora qaafila main,
Choti si ye zindagi, waqt hi khuda hai,
Mera dushman main hi, aur kaun bacha hai?
KHAFA hai,
Mujhe se kahee log, diyaan zaiyada kaam pe,
Abhi bhi phate joote pehnu taaki sab yaad rahe,
Jaale honth mere thukta tezaab main,
Haste the ye saare log, bajta phone aaj hai,
Ring ring!
Kaise kiya tune ye sab?
Teen saal dekha na Ghar pehle se tha main beshak,
Bebas, door apni Pehchaan se,
Hum ek jaise nahi hai iss kala pe qurbaan Main!
Sarkar mere peeche chahti karu na baat main,
Magar PHEKEN peth Cha meyin vaadi, zu ti jaan Meh,
(But I’ve got the whole valley on my shoulders, my soul my life this is)
Cze wan meh, dikha myion LAKCHAAR MEH?
(Now tell me, can you give me my lost childhood back?)
HEKKHA RUUZITH YATH SHAHRAS manz
(Will you survive in this city?)
Karith Hekkha Bardaash keth?
(Will you tolerate denial and oppression?)

Bridge:
Darith tuati aes
(Yes we still stand)
Aes kith kani ruko, aes kith kani ruko
(How will they stop us?, we will not STOP?)
Darith tuati aes
(We still stand)
Aes kyazi juko, kyazi phuto
(We would we bend down? We will not break)
Darith tuati aes
(Together we STAND)

Boziv
(Sunno)

Inne Kiya sab istimaal, har jagah se mili haar,
Main na Inka shikaar,
Main toh hun ek khayal, kaise loge Meri jaan?


Hook:
Wansa akh , ze, Tre , tsor,
(Now say, 1,2,3,4)

Main buthi kani chaliyo na yeti kayisi hund zor
(They come and go, they’ve GOT nothing on me)

Paanch, sheh, saath, eath,
(5,6,7,8)
Zindah Roz na ba, zindah rozan yim BAAET
(Even if they kill me, my songs will live on forever)

Wansa akh , ze, Tre , tsor,
(Now say, 1,2, 3 ,4)
Main buthi kani chaliyo na yeti kayisi hund zor
(They come and go, they’ve got nothing on me)

Paanch, sehhe, sath, eath,
(5,6,7,8)
Zindah Roz na ba, zindah rozan yim BAAET
(Even if I die, ideas will live on forever)

Delhi Sultanate

My youths den struggle fi di opportunity
Opportunity is a scarce commodity
Till we’re laid to rest
We battle hopelessness and angry
Everyday we’re less free
Police kill with impunity
Some gather rocks
Some youths a build tracks
Somebody lick a shot
Have allied all over the maps
Nuff phones a get tap
Nuff charges get slap
Nuff people disappear and never come back
Ride rough shod
Stop!
Drop!
Shut’em Down open up Shop
We ago infiltrate
Dem push it all to the max
Azadi Records never hold back
Nobody waan move a muscle
Nobody get hurt
Fear for my family comes first
And even if we lose the battle
The principle preserves
People dem get ready fi di worst

CORDON and search
Military boot upon the turf
People dem get swoop up in the purge
Watch and observe
Dip into we dip into reserves
Coping with the pressure until we combust and burst
Yow we burst

Bridge:

Darith tuati aes
(And we still stand)
Aes kith kani ruko, aes kith kani ruko
(How will they stop US? They can’t stop us?)
Darith tuati aes
(Together we stand)
Aes kyazi juko, kyazi phuto
(Why would we bow down? We will not BREAK)
Darith tuati Aes
Thoughts!
camouflages!
Don’t have no no heart!
Thoughts!
camouflages!

This is Ahmer javed! Hear this!

Outro:

Dem criminalize my thoughts
Demon dress up in a camoflags
act like they dont have no heart
cant bear their laws
dem ago get exhaust
