00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,790
I'm a spark, dear, I have
become a ghazal
1
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,790
my soul welcomes in what
it finds beautiful
2
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,670
to the poured lead, and
the evil eye it repels
3
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,960
woe be to a system like this
4
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,830
it feels like there is
a festival in my head
5
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,310
a number plate secured,
a jug in my hand
6
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,590
my nose says west but my
heart is for the east
7
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,390
yet the dark invasion in the
east wears a cowboy hat
8
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,750
for how many generations have we
failed the same class, unaware
9
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,350
our maths variable yet
geography our fate
10
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,550
we dance, we sing folk songs
to find our essence
11
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,320
yet the assembly call
grabs us by the neck
12
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,200
well done to you
13
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,910
you've ruined me
14
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:45,350
and my youth has faded away
15
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,040
I've set my heart on this path
16
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,720
so is my freedom
17
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,040
not worthy of any mention here?
18
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,030
I'm a spark, dear, I am now scattered
like broken leaves
19
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,910
my soul welcomes in what
it finds beautiful
20
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,790
to the poured lead, and
the evil eye it repels
21
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,880
woe be to a system like this
22
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:27,230
my soul's eye never stoops
to the ill-gotten
23
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,790
it walks the long path by foot
24
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,240
and there are many who damn
25
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,430
this mad instrument which
speaks the truth
26
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,230
I neither curried favour
nor did I feel regret
27
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,710
I was outcast I dressed myself in love
28
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,950
yet none hate the loudmouth
29
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,494
who always gets the greasy bit
30
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,750
justice has become a weapon
in man's hand
31
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,270
we neither have a tale to tell,
nor a room to tell it in
32
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,550
I hope god sends us some salvation
with gratitude
33
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,270
my homeland! I hope you see the light
of day! I really have had enough!
34
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,710
condemned to eat mere
onions in my bread
35
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,077
what we need is peace and on
a universal scale for that
36
00:03:19,127 --> 00:03:21,204
you know how Rûmi said ‘come
whatever you are'
37
00:03:21,254 --> 00:03:24,270
the rest would be a lie,
so humanity, resign!
