Ooberfuse: Turn The Tide - Rimsha Masih



A Pakistani 11-year-old with Down's syndrome may face the death penalty for blasphemy over her alleged burning of pages from the Quran. Ooberfuse, a London-based electro-pop band, featuring Wizard MC from the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA), released Turn the Tide, raising their voices in protest against the latest victim of Pakistan's black blasphemy laws.

In association with the British Pakistani Christian Association http://britishpakistanichristian.blogspot.co.uk/

LYRICS:
They say she burned pages from the Koran
Down's syndrome girl from Pakistan
Taken from her mother's arms
The mob yell out, sound the alarm
Roughly ripped from her family
11 yrs old, for blasphemy
She clings to her mum, crying loud
Police to appease the angry crowd
Holy imam shouts condemnation
Screams for her death ring round the police station

No matter what your colour is
No matter what your creed
No matter what your caste is
When you cut, you bleed

Free!
Turn the tide of hate to the tide of love!
Set her free!

Rimsha Masih, Asia Bibi
We cry for their freedom and dignity
Salman Taseer, Shahbaz Bhatti
Killed for defending minorities
Who'll speak up for the voiceless now
We need to protect and defend somehow
Don't stay silent, protect the defenceless
Don't stay quiet, hate is relentless
Don't stay silent, protect the defenceless
Don't stay quiet, hate is relentless

The Magnificat


The Magnificat also known as the Canticle of Mary is taken directly from the Gospel of Luke 1:46-55. This Canticle forms a part of the daily office in the Catholic Vespers service, the Lutheran Vespers service, and the Anglican services of Evening Prayer.

A good Meditation and Catechesis on the Magnificat by Blessed John Paul II can be found here


Kunwárí Mariyam Ká Tarána (The Magnificat)
(Lúqá) Luke 1:46-55

Merí ján Khudáwand kí baṛáí kartí hai,
aur merí rúh mere naját denewále Khudá se khush húí;
Kyúnki us ne apní bandí kí pasthálí par nazar kí:
Is liye dekh ab se lekar har zamáne ke log mujhe mubárak kahenge.

Kyúnki Al-Qádir ne mere liye  baṛe baṛe kám kiye hain,
Aur us ká nám Quddús hai.
Aur us kí rahmat un par jo us se darte hain
Pusht dar pusht rahtí hai.

Us ne apne bázú se zor dikháyá;
Aur unhen jo dil ke qiyás se maghrúr hain paráganda kar diyá
Us ne qudrat wálon ko takht se girá diyá,
Aur pasthálon ko buland kiyá.

Us ne bhúkon ko achchhí chízon se ser kar diyá,
Aur daulatmandon ko khálí háth lauṭá diyá.

Us ne apne bande Isráíl kí dastgíri kí,
Táki apní us rahmat ko yád farmáe,
Jo Ibráhím aur us kí nasl par abad tak rahegí
Jaisá us ne hamáre bápdádá se kah diyá thá
