Bandeya

from Saptak 2020 by Mekaal Hasan Band

/

about

Bandeya is a ‘kafi’ oriented song written by MHB with lyrics by Pakistani poet Ahmed Anis. This track features a more funk and groove based approach to the style of material the band is associated with. The song also features some departures in terms of sounds, with Papu's distortion laced flute solos creating a voice which is part sarangi and part human.

lyrics

The world and all it contains is mortal
There is no salvation without compliance
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Status and wealth will not help
Only good deeds will prevail here and
In the hereafter
Your sins will wear you down
And haunt you till the end
The worldly pleasures they are but temporary.
