It's hard for me to really wrap my head around why people, so many people, have been so attracted to
this song, like including Obama.
It's like who broke Obama's heart, you know?
And we don't even
know, like he just put it on his playlist and we've never heard from him after that.
It's just
like I want to know the backstory.
What, what, how, you know what I mean?
_ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _
It's kind of like a really famous
poem that a bunch of different singers [G] from these, from Pakistan and the South Asian diaspora, have
done renditions of.
It's kind of like a jazz standard almost, but the poetry itself is something
that I've always like felt very inspired by and I've always thought that there was like an aspect
of humor there, you know?
Like kind of like a comedic tragedy aspect to it.
It kind of captured the
moment, the so-called end of the pandemic, the [C] first end of the pandemic.
Mohabbat captures that a
little bit, like that feeling of being tired but also hopeful. _ _ _ _
O beloved,
_ _ I am [D] not _ _ your gathering, _ but _ we will [Bb] be.
Basically the poet is using a metaphor to say that you will be the lauded and the center of attention
in a gathering and there will be so many people always forever in that gathering, like you will be
surrounded by admirers, but I will not be one of them. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ So then it gets really like Hafiz Hoshiarpuri, the poet, he gets really melodramatic and is like
on the one hand the weight of the sadness of the world collectively versus the weight of the
sadness of not being with you.
We now see that it actually hurts this person that this is happening.
_ If you happen to meet,
if _ _ you happen to meet, O beloved, _ _
_ _ I am not your gathering, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
but _ _ we will be.
Now we're realizing that they weren't ever even together at all.
You know what I mean?
It's so hilarious.
Like this poem is brilliant.
Now it all makes sense.
You're like
seeing them from afar, they have a room full of admirers, like it could be really like a fan
situation or something, you know.
To me I was like this is such a specific emotion that like it's so
difficult to put this into words, let alone song, and this has been described here so beautifully.
It's very rare that someone can [Em] pen that kind of feeling. _
Even if you do understand the words,
like there was a depth in the poetry that I felt that I was seeing that other people were not.
It
took me like almost five
