"Ab Khel Ke Dikha" (Urdu: اب کھیل کے دکھا; English: Time to Play the Game) is a song by Ali Zafar which is the official anthem of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).[1]
Background and release
The song was produced and recorded by Ali Zafar in his studio when he was approached by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to create an anthem for the inaugural season of the PSL, running in February 2016.[1] A chorus of 25 male and female singers also joined him as supporting vocalists. According to Zafar, due to the international nature of the tournament, "The song has a sort of international feel to it but there is also a very Pakistani flavour. I have kept the melody in such a way that it can be hummed by any listener."[1] The song was released and performed on stage by Ali Zafar during the PSL's logo launching ceremony in Lahore on 20 September, 2015. It will also have a music video.[1] The hashtag #AbKhelKeDikha was used on the PSL's social media accounts to promote the tournament. An official digital release of Ab Khel Ke Dikha is available on Patari.pk.[2]
Lyrics of the Anthem
Lyrics of the PSL anthem is in Roman Urdu
- Aaye saare, saare ke saare
- Ye zameen pe dekho taare
- Ye rohsni se hain banke hai chamke
- Haan poora jam ke khelenge aaj
- Crowd ke shor mein, ab pure zor mein
- Tu zameen ko hila de aaj
- Girte ucchalte, thoda sambhalte
- Ab khel ke dikha de aaj
- Zara dekh ke yaaron, tum khelo pyaro
- Lagi hai baazi yahan jaan ki, jaan ki
- Jeeto ya haaro, oye khul ke maaro
- Haan jee bhar ke khelo yahan
- Phir junoon mein ho beinteha
- Kirne bani hon qaus-e-qaza
- Isshron pe tere chale ye hawaa
- Aise tum khelo ke tum ye jahaan
- Aaye saare, saare ke saare
- Ye zameen pe dekho taare
- Ye rohsni se hain banke hai chamke
- Haan poora jam ke khelenge aaj
- Crowd ke shor mein ab pure zor mein
- Tu zameen ko hila de aaj
- Girte ucchalte thoda sambhalte
- Ab khel ke dikha de aaj
