Afiya Baji, Wasiq Bhai, aur Fatima (Part 2, 4, and 6) Lyrics

Let's start from the beginning, Placenta Previa, her seed's tucked in

Unka paitt katta, no tummy tuck, I'm talkin' C-section

Barely breathin', oxygen mask's like three suction cups suckin' away at her soul

Deep sakktay mein

Kabhi hosh mein, tau kabhi she just goes unconscious

The obstetrician's losin' her head, "Her life's beyond us"

Thinkin' in her head, bacchi theek hai kamazkam's what's helpin' her conscience, unh

Routine procedure, how did it go so wrong?

Hypovolemic shock, bahha khoon hai boht

Local hospital bas yehi tha aik paas mein ghar k

Umeed? bas durood jo phoonka maa ne parh k

Nurse khari ECG pay wo readings parkkhay; aik lakeer patli si jo k maarti jhattkay

Dikha sarr, aik aur zindagi ai hai dunya mein

Saath hi saath le gai zindagi aik wo dunya se

Na ye mautt barr-haq, na ye mautt barr-waqt

Sochein kidhr hai gaya un ka mohtbar Rabb?

Mauqa ab na milay maa k pyaar ka

Lambi fehrist, zikr keroun kin kin nuqaat ka?

Saggi maa ka doodh, Na sunn paye gi dharkan wo kaan lagga k

Aur payel ki thi khannkhann jo

Paida hotay hi gawah chuki bachpann ko

Bas ker do Hus, raaz us k bacharn do!

Ao agay barhein, do saal ab us ko guzzar gaye

Aur baap ka na nam-o-nishaan, talaaqshudda thay

Halaat say tha kaafi bayzaar wo baad khulaa' k

Par aik din wo lautt k aaya sab baat bhula k

Aur bola Fatima ko saath mein houn rakhna chaahta

Ye meri beti, is say khoon ka hai rishta naata

Mein maazrat chaahta, para guthnon pay wo girgiraata

Par maanay susar na, aur sochay "kya is ka iraada?"

Khair, do teen pehhr guzray, sochay ab wo binna talkkh k

Deep down, he was tired of the barh'tay kharchay

Deep down, frustrated jab bhi badlay chadday

Deep down, dardd kertay us k gutthnay chaltay

Bohat socch k he finally agreed, finding the guilt a'bit easier than finding the means to feed her

Feeder bharrna roz, rozroz fees bharr, tau finely, Fatima, pohnchi apnay real ghar

New beginnings, nayya chehra, Fatima darri sehmi

Ghaur se dekhay abba suited up, mehngi gharri pehni

Shakal say sharminda, wo de usay dilaasay "I won't leave you ever again, so why 'you worried then?"

Anyways, lagay chandd hi din, she learned to love him too

Milay jo bhi khilona wo chaahay, she just had to pick and choose

Rhythm and blues in the car, raat' he'd read her some Seuss

No longer orphaned, ab hoti na hai kammi mehsoos
