I Can Hear your Voice In My Heart  Part  1/2     ( More details on my first Blog )


By a Male Singer or a  Group of Singers 
The singer is trying to please his lover by these beautiful words-

Kawaali or the singing starts from here:


01

'I can hear the voices of your appearance,
On the musical strings  of my heart,
Only a touch would play its music, 
Such is the fascination of your art'.


01
Reply  By a Female Singer or a Group of Singers 
The female singer is trying to reply her strange  lover –


'You say that I have created music, on the strings of your  heart,
But you throw your precious heart on every one, what to say of me,
And you repeat the same story, with every new face you come across,
Telling her with all the drama that only she has stolen your  heart'.


02
Another plea By a Male Singer or  a Group of Singers 

'My heart has gone beyond the control of me,
Such is the graceful enchants of your youth,
Your movements create dazzling lightening,
You say this is just the beauty of your grace'.


02
Reply   By a Female Singer or a  Group of Singers  

'How, when you are not in control of your heart, you say, it is only for me,
Feeling the lightening even in my movements, you sing a song in praise of me,
Your heart repeats the same story, feeling the grace and beauty in every face new,
These are only your sweet excuses, to mould a heart and to weave a story'.


03
Another plea By a Male Singer or a  Group of Singers 

'What you call the simplicity of your beauty,
The world is dying on it, to sacrifice anything.
It may be a beautiful Adaa* or grace for you, 
But, its a thing of existence and life and death for me'.

03
By a Female Singer or a  Group of Singers

'Sometimes you talk to die on my simplicity,
Sometimes you talk about the splendors of my beauty,
Proclaiming to die on my splendors and simplicity,
You wish to encroach,  even in my dreams, O stranger'.

PLEASE NOTE THAT AT PRESENT THESE LINES ARE NOT IN THEIR ACTUAL SINGING FORM. TO GIVE AN IDEA OF HOW A KAWAALI IS PRESENTED I HAVE PLACED IT IN POETRY FORM ONLY. THE SINGING FORM IS THE SECOND STEP YET TO BE CONVERTED.
