The cloak that is my appearance is made up of clay. All that I am is merely clay. How long can I last? I am merely clay. Time is a great leveller, it spares no one. Learned Drona, generous Karna Daring Baali, arrogant Ravana Time spares no one Good or Evil Rich or Poor Time spares no one. O my friend! Dont be fooled by the illusion that is this world. Our belief and trust in God alone can set us free! All that I am is merely clay How long can I last?
Am amazingly profound song, beautifully rendered. Two things: Our country abounds with so much depth and beauty, yet we do not take pride and responsibility to bring it out and project it to the world. India is still the GOLDEN BIRD, in terms of the richness of its culture, which cannot be equaled. And KUDOS and KUDOS to Aamir Khan and his entire team of Peepli LIVE for bringing this hidden talent to the fore. JUST SO BEAUTIFUL !!!!!
I am all grateful and thankful to lord almighty that I am born in India and can understand all this truth of life written in hindi and punjabi by true mystics. Thanks a million God.
I wasn't born in India, but I comprehend this song perfectly. My ancestors were from Vrindaban and we speak a language similar to Bhojpuri here in the USA.
This is a beautiful and timeless classic. The singer and composer deserve equal credit in its presentation and success. In the present context I only hope our dear political leaders are listening... they too will die. Atleast don't rape the country.
I'd rather listen to songs from this movie than the sheela ki javani...BTW, I haven't been able to figure out what is about SKJ that people like. This song, I can understand, that it may not be popular because people can't (or pretend that they can't or don't want to) understand it, or it makes them uncomfortable & scared at some level. But SKJ? what's the obsession with that?
WowWOWWOWOWOW,After long long time a very sweeet song that touched my heart and soul,very nice Tanvir,your voice is perfect for this beautiful song..Thanx Amir you allways rock man...keep it up .u r the best . Music is perfect ...I feel very near to God while listening this b'ful song..
WowWOWWOWOWOW,After long long time a very sweeet song that touched my heart and soul,very nice Tanvir,your voice is perfect for this beautiful song..Thanx Amir you allways rock man...keep it up .u r the best .
@ rspradeep ....can u plz translate the rest of the song to us?.....nageen tanvir ji explained it beautifully at the starting.....but just the first stanza.... can do us a favour by translating the other stanzas.....thanx in advance
@shreyabha but this is not hindi. I grew up speaking hindi and I didnt understant the song. Do you think the translation Tanvir gives is wrong or the song is a brutal reality?
@rspradeep72 can u plz translate us the rest of the stanzas?.....tanvir ji has nicely explained it at beginning ...but just the first stanza....thanx in advance....
These protesters are demanding that Siwar's family who is living under abject poverty working as daily wage earners should be financially remunerated in addition to giving credit to Gangaram Siwar for the for use of his song. However, the Habib Tanvir Theater group which has recorded the song maintains that the group has officially purchased the rights for the song and protesters do not need to protest.
The song "Chola Mati Ke Ram" is originally composed and written by Gangaram Siwar (1930-1982), a celebrated folk singer of Chhattisgarh in 1978. His song has been used in the film without giving any credit to him
@Amit230180 everywhere I saw a mention of this song I also saw Gangaram Siwar's name as the writer. Tanvir also mentions it in this video. I am not sure what you are talking about?
chola=clothing/cover, maati=clay: chola maati ke = body that is equivalent to clothing of soul is perishable just like clay ... ekhar ka bharosa = no one should believe on it to be immortal... and then rest of the song is gives different example, whether you are scientist, warrior, good or bad human being you will die...
Nageen Ji is the daugther of one of the most legendary artist of Indian Theater, Habeeb Tanveer Ji.. She, after the death of Monika Mishra Tanveer and Habeeb Sahab, has been leading Naya Theater.. She is quite famous in her own circle. Infact she chose not to participate in Indian Cinema for the lack of purpose in it.. When Amir Approached her for the movie, she wanted to look at the script and decide if she would give her voice to it. Infact the lead actors dhaniya and nattha are from her Group
We're so excited to host INDIAN OCEAN live in Toronto next month. Come and be part of an amazing charity event with this awesome band! For tickets and info, visit our website, Yeh Hai Life(.com)!

karna --- who earned lot of of punyas being the greatest donater
bali --who was blessed to get 50 pc of enemy strenght while fight
