Karegar Lyrics – Iram

    Lyrics

    shaam-o-seher hai khauf-e-dharam
    yeh kaisa khuda yeh kaisa sharam
    adab nahi wujud, hisab hai bayaan

    majboor hokar hai yeh sahi
    saahil subah kashti zameer
    likha hai yeh nahi zehen mein chipa hain kahin

    Hai karegar zameer insaan kahaan,
    dhunde sukoon ab jahaan milta jaza
    sabar mein sukoon ab kahaan
    bas rosh ka zehen mazhabeen ab dosh ka

    Kaabil hai yeh zameer, samajh sake fakeer,
    zaalim khuda nahi, insaan mazhabi.

    About

    In an almost fairytale like story, Neil Simon and Gaurav Govilkar met at a local gig. They were smitten by their common affinity for soulful acoustic sounds. They formed a band called Iram and started composing music. One year down the line they finally gave birth to their lovechild in the form of a great debut EP, named ‘Azal’!

    It’s not surprising that the band mentions the likes of Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree as their key influences. The entire EP reeks of lush dreamy sounds. With rich acoustic elements at its helm, these five tracks maneuver you through a somber atmospheric trip.

    Neil’s control over the Urdu dialect matched with the sufi-ness of his voice and introspective lyrics really drive this EP home. It’s a treat whenever the subtle instrumentation fervently blends with the powerful vocal arrangement.

    There’s a great instrumental track called ‘Descend’ to freshen your sonic palate. The EP seems well arranged and mixed. A personal favorite track would be the delightful ‘Aaina’, the more urgent and heavier of the lot.

    Sometimes the EP seems arduously long and needlessly lingers in certain sonic spaces. It could have been a bit tighter and thus more impactful. However, it’s a solid debut effort to say the least. There’s no doubt that the duo are a nostalgic gem in the growing sounds of the electronica. ‘Iram’ means shining and we hope these crazy diamonds shine on!
