Cholhama Roshe Roshe

In Kashmiri, cholhama means abandoned or departed and roshe represents mutual resentment/umbrage, anger, wrath, passion, rage. It is a common phrase incorporated by Kashmiri poets into their beautiful poems

Here is a contemporary composition on one of the finest pieces of poetry from Mehjoor. If you thought Kashmiri songs don't bode well with Guitar, this will prove you wrong

  cholhama roshe roshe, poshe mati janano

  vuchmakho duure duure, son ghom swargichi huure
  chas vadaan chure chure, poshe mati janano

  baal pyeth laaye naado, poth faer ha shahzaado
  mo chal gwad paal vaado, poshe mati janano

  aeti aeti rozto yaaro, kot-chalukh jaadugaro
  gwad-kar myonuy chaaro, poshe mati janano

  baal pyeth baal chas praraan, ash-kanii khoon chas haraan
  yaaras mar mati kharaan, poshe mati janano

CokeStudio12 recreated the beautiful song in the serene vocals of ZebBangash, a Kashmiri ode to loss that speaks of the grief that follows in the absence of a beloved.

Habba Khatoon, also called the Nightingale of Kashmir, has an equally popular 'lol' or lyric on this topic: cholhama roshe roshe, walo myani poshe madno

  cholhama roshe roshe
  walo myani poshe madno

  walay vasiye gatchav aabas
  duniya chhu nindri ti khaabas
  praraan tihindis jawaabas

  walay vasiye gatchav babray
  chhukh mei loiynam tabray
  kanh-sa sozi na khabray

  walay vasiye gatchav van tay
  lookav barihas kan tay
  tee booz tami saadan tay

Good compositions also attract versatile talent, here is Mohammad Muneem singing his contemporary version of the song with Piano/Cello accompaniment by Hardik Vaghela. There are traces of November Rain (Guns and Roses), but who does not need inspiration!

Nishant Kaushik provides a similar lovely version, and it would indeed be an unnecessary distraction to put dancing girls in the background of such enchanting music!
