Song Meaning of “Ekta tabiz” by Mustafa
Ekta Tabiz is a song written and performed by Mustafa from his 2003 album, A Toast to Mustafa. The song has a mid-tempo beat and is about the feeling of disconnection and isolation that we can feel in a world where everyone is so busy and consumed by their own lives.
The lyrics describe a person looking around them and seeing everyone leading their own separate lives, without regard for each other. The person in the song feels disconnected, almost like they are living in a vacuum, unable to find any true connection or understanding.
The chorus of the song is the most emotive, with the singer singing, “O ekta tabiz/Mere dil ka haal hai/Tere dil mein kya hai/Kyun nahi hairey/Pata nahi pata nhi jo/Iss duniya mein kya hai (Only one emotion/Is the condition of my heart/What’s in your heart?/Why don’t you understand/It’s all a mystery/What’s going on in this world?).” This speaks to the feeling of loneliness and disconnection that the singer, and many people in the world feel, and the powerlessness against the fact that even though they may feel alone, they are in fact surrounded by many others also feeling the same.
