@Goodfella

Believe it or not the copied version by the Sikh singer has become very popular in Pakistan. Unfortunately most people don’t even now that Junoon sang the original. The problem with Pakistanis is that they love listening to Indian music and don’t appreciate there own stuff. This has happened before.

Junoon’s “original” wasn’t exactly original itself, was it? The poetry is by Bulleh Shah, Ali Azmat did not freakin’ write the song! And Rabbi Shergill did not sing the song in the same tune; it is completely different and is quite breathtaking.

@Chandler.Bing

This is just like saying that there shouldnt have been different versions of ‘Pride and Prejudice’. The first one who made a movie out of the book is the rightful owner and others shuld not have bothered.

omg i almost missed this example…pride and prejudice lolz now thats a horrible example. frankly bollywood SHOULD NOT have bothered to make a movie where a gora guy falls for gori girl into gora rich guy falls for desi middle class girl…the most horrible and nonsense movie i have ever seen period.

Re: pathetic attempt again....

I stand by shweets.

Junoon version is better.

Bride and Prejudice SUCKED!! I tried sitting thru it cuz bunch of us friends were watching it, but the scene that got to me was when Aish goes shopping in the bazar with her sisters, they break out dancing and singing in English. That was it.

^^ my limit was when the mithai waala, the dhobi, the postman, the kids in the street all started singing (in english-disney style songs)

They are called morons because the poor guy Rabbi Shergill is being accused of stealing songs when he has merely used Bulleh Shah’s poetry, which is what Junoon had also done. Shergill has composed a different tune and has sung it beautifully. He does not deserve the label of a “thief”. Is it clear now?

i second that!

Re: pathetic attempt again....

Rabbi Shergill has a different style. Its unique like no other singer and thats why he has been able to stand out. He does not sing like or try to be like Junoon. If he did he would sound just like them wouldn't he? Thats the problem with most of us desis.. we are so hostile towards change.

As for the lyrics, he is using old school poetry just like Junoon do. Nothing wrong with it. Just because Junoon stole those lyrics first doesnt mean only theyre entitled to do it. Make no mistake about it i like Junoon too. But i dont see why they should be compared. They are both unique in their own ways.

And just for the record, i think Rabbi Shergill is a great artist.

Sincerely,

Nobody is telling you to not express your personal opinions about him. It’s the “calling him a thief” bit that really got on my nerves. Relax and learn to appreciate good work, even if it’s by Indian artists :k: .

Re: pathetic attempt again…

I liked both versions of the song. Rabbi’s take on it is different and :k: I didn’t like the video much.

Bride and Prejudice was horrendous.

Re: pathetic attempt again....

when at first i heard it from some indian guy ,,,i had the same feeling of piracy,,,
but actually,,,,
there was no copyright for the poetry ,,,therefore ,,every body is invited to sing that kalam in their own styles......

the only music i listen to is Hindi by the way…it’s not that i have a personal bias towards indian artists…it just seemed like a rip off to me the first time i heard it and i apologize for the mistake…

Here are the lyrics for folks who are interested -

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen momin vich maseet aan
Na maen vich kufar diyan reet aan
Na maen paakaan vich paleet aan
Na maen moosa na pharaun.

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen andar ved kitaab aan,
Na vich bhangaan na sharaab aan
Na vich rindaan masat kharaab aan
Na vich jaagan na vich saun.

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun.

Na vich shaadi na ghamnaaki
Na maen vich paleeti paaki
Na maen aabi na maen khaki
Na maen aatish na maen paun

Bulleh!, ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen arabi na lahori
Na maen hindi shehar nagauri
Na hindu na turak peshawri
Na maen rehnda vich nadaun

Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen bheth mazhab da paaya
Ne maen aadam havva jaaya
Na maen apna naam dharaaya
Na vich baitthan na vich bhaun

Bulleh , ki jaana maen kaun

Avval aakhir aap nu jaana
Na koi dooja hor pehchaana
Maethon hor na koi siyaana
Bulla! ooh khadda hai kaun

Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun
