Sidhant Kapoor, a music composer, was so moved by a poetry called ‘Slum Children at Play’ by Ruskin Bond, that he drove up the hills of Mussoorie to meet the legendary writer and seek permission to put his words to music. On returning to Mumbai, Sidhant took notice of three street children and realised that they personify the emotions of the poetry. With this inspiration, Sidhant began his journey of composing his first ever single! He brought The Sunshine Orchestra, legendary composer A.R. Rahman's dream project, on board to perform the strings section. He wrote additional lyrics in Hindi and started painting the first few strokes of this composition. All through this process, he was inspired by the story of the three kids that taught him the true meaning of ‘Beparwah’!

LYRICS

Imps of mischief,
Barefoot in the dust,
Grinning, mocking, even as
They beg you for a crust.
No angels these,
Just hungry eyes
And eager hands
To help you sympathise...

Beparwah...

They don’t want love,
They don’t seek pity,
They know there’s nothing
In this heartless city
But a kindred need
In those who strive
For power and pelf
Though only just alive!

Befikr inki subah, Befikr inki shaam,
Azaad parinde hai yeh, Beparwah inki udaan,
Na maange yeh zameen, inka toh aasmaan,
Azaad parinde hai yeh, Beparwah inki udaan.
Beparwah...

They know your guilt,
They’ll take your money,
And if you give too much
They’ll find you funny.
Because that’s what you are –
You’re just a joke –
Your life is soft
And theirs all grime and smoke.
And yet they shout and sing
And do not thank your giving,
You’ll fuss and fret through life
While they do all the living.

Beparwah...
