This is a brilliant rendition of the folk song Chori Chori, by Pakistani popstar Meesha Shafi, originally sung by legendary folk singer Reshma (of Lambi Judaai fame). It re-emerged on the third season of hugely popular Pakistani live music TV series, Coke Studio.
Enjoy Meesha Shafi's hauntingly melodious voice, as you sink in.
For the uninitiated, here are the lyrics:
Ae ve main chori chori tere naal laa layyan akhaan ve
Without anyone knowing about it, I locked my eyes with you (and fell in love)
(repeat)
Main chori chori...
Very quietly, very discreetly...
Duniya toh jakhaan te main duniya
I will keep this love hidden from the rest of this world
Jakhan te main pyar tera rakhaan
Nevertheless, the love I have for you is safe
Ve main chori chori tere naal laa layyan akhan ve
Without anyone knowing about it, I locked my eyes with you (and fell in love)
Pyaar peeche har koi mittiyaan vee chhaanda
In the pursuit of eternal love, lovers will even sieve sand
Jis da na ik pal vir meri jaan da
Not even a single moment of my life is mine now
Phir vee main jhallee hoke
But the simpleton that I am…
Raah teri takkan
I sit here, waiting for you to come to me
Ve mein chori chori tere naal laa layyan akhan ve
Without anyone knowing about it, I locked my eyes with you (and fell in love)
Main chori chori...
Very quietly, very discreetly.
