about

‘Kaisi Ye Jeet?’ was born from a place of questioning the meaning of ‘Victory’ and its significance when the war itself creates irrevocable damages, regardless of its result.

Revisited during the second wave of Covid 19 in India, this song became a tragic reflection of what we were witnessing and feeling. A bubble burst, the illusion of privilege some of us enjoyed, disappeared. Although there was a glimmer of hope that we hung on to after the wave subsided, the trauma of war in the form of fighting for hospital beds, oxygen, medicines and pyres was hard to let go of, and still is, months on.

The shameless “victorious” chest-thumping of politicians after the cases naturally subsided has been hard to fathom, especially when we are leaving behind countless loved ones as either casualties, or as wounded by the system. We survived the battle, but the post-war silence is too loud to ignore - What is the real meaning of this “victory” when at it’s very core there is little to no value of human lives in the face of agendas and propagandas of the powerful.

lyrics

Bheeni si roshni
Laayi ek nayi subah
Kya vo ek khwaab tha?
Maine jo dekha

Sab kuch kyun maun hai?
Kahan hai vo khushi?
Jinke liye lade the hum
Hue vahi shaheed

Kaisa ye pal hai aaya?
Chaaya hai gam ka saaya

Hai kaisi ye jeet?
Thi kaisi ye jung?
Kuch to sukoon hai
Par bekraar ab bhi ye man
Guzra ye pal
Fir kyun khamoshiyan
Gum hogi khushi
Socha na thak kabhi
Hai kaisi ye jeet?
Hai kaisi ye jeet?

Gumshuda aankhein
Mujhse hai poochti
Kahan vo seher?
Jiski thi humein ummeed
Kho gaye kahin
Jo dil ke the kareeb
Kya chaaha humne?
Aur kya hua naseeb?

Hai kaisi ye jeet?
Thi kaisi ye jung?
Kuch to sukoon hai
Par bekraar ab bhi ye man
Guzra ye pal
Fir kyun khamoshiyan
Gum hogi khushi
Socha na thak kabhi
Hai kaisi ye jeet?

Kaisi ye jeet?
Thi kaisi ye jung?
Kuch to sukoon hai
Par bekraar ab bhi ye man
Guzra ye pal
Fir kyun khamoshiyan
Gum hogi khushi
Socha na thak kabhi
Hai kaisi ye jeet?
Hai kaisi ye jeet?
