Every passionate cricket fanatic is grooving with the rise of Jazba (enthusiasm). The cricket lovers are looking forward to the upcoming ICC World Cup 2011 starting on 19 February, 2011. The entire nation is buoyant with the tunes of Jazba, the official song for the upcoming World Cup.
The tune has opened new horizons for cricket in Pakistan. It seems as if the era of the 1992 World Cup has once again arrived with all the passion and energy.
The song has been sponsored by the telecommunications company Mobilink and is sung by the youth icon Ali Zafar. The singing star has done enthusiastic justice to the song by giving a patriotic and passionate feel to it. The lyrics of the song also represent a new beam of hope and zest for cricket in Pakistan. The song invokes the public to overcome the phase of hopelessness and disappointment to embrace the passion which was almost gone due to the recent failures of Pakistan cricket.
The song is filled with emotions and feelings which are attached to its’ lyrics. The beat is hitting the charts, as people are listening to it on the television, radio and other mediums. Youngsters in Pakistan are blasting it loud in car stereos and MP3 players.
The Video of the song is amazing and truly depicts patriotism. The inspiring point about the video is that the main sponsor Mobilink did not try to brag or promote their company, giving a clear picture of a true patriotic and enthusiastic nation in the song ‘Jazba’. Mobilink has showed in this video that they did not try to preach victory or leadership but rather they just tried to convey the message of self-belief, encouragement and passion.
The song has great substance with an effective message to show the faith and patriotism for the nation. The video has been beautifully directed with an emphasis on the colour green to represent the colour of Pakistan cricket. The director has given an international feel to the video, giving the new youth culture in Pakistan something to talk about. The fireworks, the ambiance and most importantly the patriotic youth have been uplifted by the true Jazba of cricket.
The players of the team looked smashing and vibrant in the video. The new hair style of Shahid Afridi andShoaib Akhtar looked amazingly fashionable. The duo has been given a total new look, and honestly they looked no less than any film star. The one thing which was surprising and questionable was the absence of the entire team, as only Afridi, Shoaib and Umer Gul can be seen in the video. It is a team, so the whole team should have participated in the making of the video.
As the World Cup is right around the corner, the players should work hard and concentrate on their performance. They need to forget about their personal interests and should look forward to the millions of fans who are dying to see their favourite sportsmen in the World Cup. The crowd worships their players and follows cricket as a religion. It is the kind of song that every time you listen to it, it grows on you, and before you know it, you hear yourself humming at all the time.
The song starts with some fantastic and zealous lyrics:
Naye Iraadey, naye taraaney, nayee manzilein….
New plans, new anthems, new destinations…
Challay hain paanay…..
We will achieve…
Naye fasaney….
New ideas….
Naye paimaaney…..
New standards….
Nayee himatein…..
Renewed aspirations…
Naye hain jazbey….
Rejuvenated passion…
Jazba hai chuu janay ka….
To achieve the impossible…
Jazba hai azmaaney ka….
Time to test our strengths…
Yeh tera jazbaa…
Our passion…
Yeh mera Jazbaa…
Our enthusiasm…
Mobilink has done a commendable job by creating such a magical and energetic song, which is sure to add to the hopes and enthusiasm of all Pakistanis.
