Junnon - Zamanay Kay Andaaz - Saqi Nama



Zamanay Kay Andaaz by Junoon was originally a poem titled "Saqi Nama", written by the greatest poet of Pakistan, Allama Iqbal!

This song is dedicated to everyone in Pakistan...it's time to wake up everyone!

Urdu Lyrics:
Zamanay Kay Andaaz Badlay Gaey,
Naya Raag Hai Saaz Badlay Gaey! (x2)

Khirad Ko Ghulami Say Azaad Kar,
Jawanon Ko Peeron Ka Ustad Kar!

Zamanay Kay Andaaz Badlay Gaey,
Naya Raag Hai Saaz Badlay Gaey!

Jigar Say Wohi Teer Phir Par Kar,
Tamanna Ko Seenon Main Bedar Kar! (x2)

Jawanon Ko Sozi Jigar Bakhsh Dey,
Mera Ishq Meri Nazar Bakhsh Dey!

Zamanay Kay Andaaz Badlay Gaey,
Naya Raag Hai Saaz Badlay Gaey!

Khirad Ko Ghulami Say Azaad Kar,
Jawanon Jo Peeron Ka Ustad Kar!

Zamanay Kay Andaaz Badlay Gaey,
Naya Raag Hai Saaz Badlay Gaey!

Piladey Mujhay Woh May Pardah Soz,
Keh Aati Nahin Fasl-e-Gul roz roz! (x2)

Woh May Jis Say Roshan Hai Zameer-e-Hayat,
Woh May Jis Say Hai Masti-e-Kainaat!

Masti-e-Kainaat!

Zamanay Kay Andaaz Badlay Gaey,
Naya Raag Hai Saaz Badlay Gaey! (x2)

Khirad Ko Ghulami Say Azaad Kar,
Jawanon Ko Peeron Ka Ustad Kar!

Zamanay Kay Andaaz Badlay Gaey,
Naya Raag Hai Saaz Badlay Gaey! (fade till end)

English Translated Lyrics:
The ways of the world have been changed,
the lyrics are new, (and the) melodies have been changed.

Let all humanity be free from slavery,
and let the young (generation) be the teachers of the old.

Let the same-old arrow pierce my heart again,
and let the wishes grow inside your heart.

Bestow the heart-ache to the young,
and bestow my love and and ideology (to them).

Give me the wine which tears the blindness away,
the wine which will open my eyes.

For the season of flowers don't come everyday.
That wine which gives meaning to lives.
That wine which makes the worlds go around.

  2. Thank you for translating this amazing song.
    My bf told me about this song.
    I really enjoyed it, but didn't understand what it's about, as I'm a mono-language American.
    Now I understand this song!
    Thanks so much.
    As Salaam Alaikum.
