Their journey started with two friends (Ismail and Junaid) from Peshawar, playing for fun in friends group or jamming for their own satisfaction, after more encouragement they decided to take their music to a proper level and gave a name to their band “ISMAIL AND JUNAID”
They gave their first two songs “jeena nahi” and “aisa ho” which got hell of recognition from every listener.
Their first performance was in St Mary’s where they performed with Sajid and Zeeshan..
..later on they decided to test their skills on a proper level and have a competition with real musicians and they went for Lums Olympiad where they got 2nd position in Battle of the Bands (2010) all over Pakistan.. They rocked lahore with their own style and they made a blend of western and cultural music and gave their pashto song “Qarar” and left the audience screaming for more ..Pashto music was all over Lums and they performed with EP there as well.
Soon they would be giving more songs and they want the support of all who love them..
Lyrics:
za kho zaregam qurbanegam dagha shundo rang
da yaar sara me kai malgaro dalta shoma tang
o qarara rashaaa!
o qarara rasha!
rukh shu ghamoona che khkara sho dagha khkule makh
bia gham taza sho che pana sho dagha stoorey makh
ka de ashna kram jorawama ba khobono mahal
ka de prade kram matawama ba rikhtono mahal
o qarara rashaaa!
o qarara rasha!
za kho ghani yam armani yam dagha shondo jaam
za kho maftoon yam lewanay yam da janan pa naam
za kho khatir yama meena za pa speena kram
za ismail yama meena za pa weena kram
hooo hoo hooo!
o qarara rasha!
o qarara rasha!
QARAR (English Translation)
Turn me into droplets of rain so I dribble the pretty face,
Then coat me with dearness so I wander around the baked face
I adore and love the crimson layer on her lips,
And I seek the company of my friends for I’m world-weary.
O! serenity embrace me! O serenity, embrace me!..
Begone are melancholies as the angel face rears it’s head,
And when it subsides back, melancholies rejoin..
I’m ‘ghani’ for I long for the goblet of beloved’s lips
I’m ‘maftoon’ for I break through sanity for the sake of my love
I’m ‘Khatir’ for my love is pure
I’m ‘Ismail’ for I love with my dripping blood
O! serenity embrace me! O serenity, embrace me!..
