Bayaan, a new Pakistani band from Lahore has just released its first single, called ‘Farda’. Flawless and tasteful, Bayaan knows all the right notes to play blending harmonies with the effortlessness only good musicians can perfect. Bayaan is fresh raw talent. After performances in heavily publicized and praised ‘Nescafe Basement’, these 5 young boys went on to make a band of their own.

Naming their ‘Bayaan’, the concept behind making and naming the band was simple… Narrate thoughts and feelings in the simplest of manner. As quoted by the band members, ‘we aspire to defy the status-quo of constricting to a specific genre or style by creating music that knows no bounds.’


Bayaan formed in 2014 has 5 members:

  • Asfar Hussain – Vocals – Bachelors in Musicology from NCA
  • Haider Abbas – Bass – BSc from LUMS
  • Muqueet Shahzad – Guitars – BSc from LUMS
  • Mansoor Lashari – Drums – BBA from LSE
  • Shahrukh Aslam – Guitars – BSc from LUMS

bayaan-farda

Asfar writes the lyrics, whereas the boys together as a band come up with the composition with a collaborative effort.

Standing true to the meaning of the bands’ name, Bayaan has come up with a wonderfully narrated single ‘Farda’. ‘Farda’ is about hope, looking at the bigger picture of life and finding light in the darkest of times.

Lyrics

Tu sabr hai, abr hai

Karam ki tarha barasta hua

Tu sabr hai, abr hai

Karam ki tarha barasta hua

Chal yaad ki aghosh mein

Ghamon ko chupa ke hasta hua

Ab wafa fana, haya fana

Sach hai aur yeh

Saara shehar apni rahaton ki dhun mein bekhabar

Hai magar, ab yeh aksar

Panchi hawaon mein zindagi ke naghme buntay hain

Farda o Farda kya sochta hai

Haal-e-Adam se kyun bad-gumaan hai

Qatra qatra zindagi hai

Baarish mein bheega tera jahan hai

Kyun noor se duur hai

Kyun chup kay bhanwar mein gumm hai kaheen

Kyun dil mein jo alfaaz hain

Suron pe saja ke kehtay nahein

Tareekion mein jo dooba hai ghar

Subha ki lou bhi jalay ki magar

Ab wafa fana, haya fana

Sach hai aur yeh

Saara shehar apni rahaton ki dhun mein bekhabar

Hai magar, ab yeh aksar

Panchi hawaon mein zindagi ke naghme buntay hain

Farda o Farda kya sochta hai

Haal-e-Adam se kyun bad-gumaan hai

Qatra qatra zindagi hai

Baarish mein bheega tera jahan hai (x2)

Tera jahan hai (x3)
