00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.790
I'm a spark, dear, I have
become a ghazal
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:45.790
my soul welcomes in what
it finds beautiful
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.670
to the poured lead, and
the evil eye it repels
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:55.960
woe be to a system like this
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.830
it feels like there is
a festival in my head
00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:20.310
a number plate secured,
a jug in my hand
00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:22.590
my nose says west but my
heart is for the east
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.390
yet the dark invasion in the
east wears a cowboy hat
00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:27.750
for how many generations have we
failed the same class, unaware
00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:30.350
our maths variable yet
geography our fate
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.550
we dance, we sing folk songs
to find our essence
00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:35.320
yet the assembly call
grabs us by the neck
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.200
well done to you
00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:41.910
you've ruined me
00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:45.350
and my youth has faded away
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.040
I've set my heart on this path
00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:51.720
so is my freedom
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.040
not worthy of any mention here?
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.030
I'm a spark, dear, I am now scattered
like broken leaves
00:02:00.080 --> 00:02:04.910
my soul welcomes in what
it finds beautiful
00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:09.790
to the poured lead, and
the evil eye it repels
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.880
woe be to a system like this
00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:27.230
my soul's eye never stoops
to the ill-gotten
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.790
it walks the long path by foot
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.240
and there are many who damn
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.430
this mad instrument which
speaks the truth
00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:37.230
I neither curried favour
nor did I feel regret
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.710
I was outcast I dressed myself in love
00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:41.950
yet none hate the loudmouth
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.494
who always gets the greasy bit
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.750
justice has become a weapon
in man's hand
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.270
we neither have a tale to tell,
nor a room to tell it in
00:03:09.320 --> 00:03:11.550
I hope god sends us some salvation
with gratitude
00:03:11.600 --> 00:03:14.270
my homeland! I hope you see the light
of day! I really have had enough!
00:03:14.320 --> 00:03:16.710
condemned to eat mere
onions in my bread
00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:19.077
what we need is peace and on
a universal scale for that
00:03:19.127 --> 00:03:21.204
you know how Rûmi said ‘come
whatever you are'
00:03:21.254 --> 00:03:24.270
the rest would be a lie,
so humanity, resign!
