♫ Shahyar Ghanbari - Forbidden (song) شهیار قنبری - قدغن


Blue of the sea is forbidden

The desire to see, is forbidden

The love between two fish is forbidden
Alone and together is forbidden

To have a new love, you should not ask permission
To have a new love, you should not ask permission

Whispering and murmuring is forbidden
Dancing of the shadows is forbidden
Discovering the stolen kisses,
In the middle of your dream is forbidden

To have a new dream, you should not ask permission
To have a new dream, you should not ask permission

In this homely exile
Write the simplest poems
Say what you have to say
Say long live life,
Say long live life

To write a new poem, you should not ask permission
To write a new poem, you should not ask permission

To write about you, is forbidden
Even to complain is forbidden
The fragrance of a woman, is forbidden
You are forbidden, I am forbidden!

To start a new day, you should not ask permission
To start a new day, you should not ask permission

♫ MC Kash - Bow to the Ground


This is MC Kash, a believer from Srinagar, Kashmir..
Listen...

Hook :
Time never falters, just keeps spinnin' around
while we kneel at the altars, and Bow to the Ground...

Verse 1:
They told me I'll lose my dreams if I blink
walk with my head down and get shot before I think
Kiss the soil of Kashmir and get stabbed in the back,
talk in simplicity like Gandhi and still get clapped..
endless possibilities I could die in my sleep
wake up in a grave and hear the footsteps as they leave
Read my own obituary, not a tear I won't feel
A brother who paid the price of keepin' it real.
when truth is your weapon, you don't have a shield,
But Allah protects you, and faith is all you need..
no hunger to live, I'd trade my life for Sameer's,
'cause when they buried Inayat, my eyes had to bleed..
I knew his coffin on my shoulders had changed my life,
I knew, I knew, forever I'll do what's right..
Tell my mother if I die, my soul will still be around
so Maa smile for your son and Bow to the Ground...

Hook :
Time never falters, just keeps spinnin' around
while we kneel at the altars, and Bow to the Ground...

Verse 2:
I can never change the world, not with a song,
but what's wrong in being a dreamer, or a poet or a teacher?
look how peace eludes our brothers in Chechnya,
the same way injustice got to Neelofer and Aasiya,
the same way life is for a Palestinian kid
who in his own rights does better than David ever did...
we still livin' the slaves of Middle Journey,
cryin' like an innocent who can't afford an attorney,
what is it that you have faith in but can't even see?
ain't it Moses, and the splittin' of the red sea?
ain't it Abraham, ready to sacrifice his son?
ain't it what we believe in that really makes us one?
then How can we be blind to massacres and rapes?
how can any one of you condescend on a brother's mistakes?
so be it a mosque or a church wherever you hear the sound,
purify your thoughts and Bow to the Ground...

Hook :
Time never falters, just keeps spinnin' around
while we kneel at the altars, and Bow to the Ground...

Verse 3:
Have faith, there be peace in Afghanistan and Iraq
InshaAllah, we will see the sun shine when its dark,
InshaAllah, Palestine will forever beat in my heart
InshaAllah, we'll revive our history from the start
InshaAllah, we will see our children smile
InshaAllah we will find a soul in America and Israel,
InshaAllah, Kashmir will never bleed again
InshaAllah we will never find peace wrapped in chains..
believe in Him and He'll never let us down,
'cause we all know who made an example out of Pheroun,
it was faith that defeated the armies of unbelievers
it was He who gave us the best of Holy Teachers,
read Torah, Bible or the Holy Quran,
be in Makkah or Vatican, just pray for never doin' no wrong,
and wait till the day the real King is crowned,
ask for repentance and sincerely Bow to the Ground..

Hook :
Time never falters, just keeps spinnin' around
while we kneel at the altars, and Bow to the Ground...

♫ No Love - No Freedom - No Peace Song

Lyrics:

No More Will I Pretend To Be Free
When All My Eyes Show Me
Is The Enslavement That I See
When Even One Child Is Hurting
When Even One Beast Is Being Kept In Chains
When Even One Beast Is Being Kept In Chains


There Is No Love No Freedom No Peace
There Is No Love No Freedom No Peace
And This Is All That Remains

And I Am All That Remain

No Where Else To Go
No Where Else to Stand
Nothing Left To Fight For
Nor Am I Woman Or A Man

No Promise Of Love
No Future A Head Of Me
Just Me
My Mind As Scattered
Infinite Misery

No Judge Is Before Me
No Rules Can Keep Me Bound
No One Can Hear Me Calling
No One Will Have Me Found

No One Will Wake Me Up
Nothing Will Set Me Free
I Cannot Sleep Forever
Or Dream Eternally
Though I'd Like To Sleep Forever
And Dream Eternally
I Cannot Sleep For Ever

Instrumental

As I Am My Own Witness
To What I Have Allowed
I Stand
I Stand So Silently

I Stand
I Stand So Silently

I Stand As The Mirror Of This Crowd

A Voice From Deep Within Me
Calls Out To Us All:

We Will Either LIVE EQUALLY
Or Still Pretend To Fall

We Will Either LIVE EQUALLY
Or Not Live At All....
