An Eid song for the people you'd cross the world for

After the fasting and the phone calls, a song in their language about their household — the cooking, the crowded table, the ones celebrating far away.

From A$39 · Hear two versions before you pay · Usually ready in 3–8 minutes

An extended family in pale festive clothes gathered around a low table laid for Eid, two children leaning in towards the phone one holds, a glass teapot, dates and small green lanterns in front of them.

Eid is the day the whole family is in one place, or on one call. A personalised Eid song is written about that household in particular — who cooks, what everyone waits for, the relatives celebrating in another country this year — and it can be written in the language the family actually speaks, with that language's own musical styles rather than a pop song with the words swapped in.

Write the story, read the lyrics in the language you chose, and hear two recordings before you decide. It arrives as a link, so the aunties abroad get it the same minute you do, and the gift page holds the song, the words and a photo of the table for next year. Write it for your parents, from all the children, or for the one cousin who couldn't fly back this time.

How it opens — from “You Waited at the Top of the Hill

ایک کمرہ، ایک کھڑکی

ایک لیمپ، تیری بغلی

سویرے جاگے، سائیکل پر

جھیل گئے، پہاڑ پر تیرا انتظار

امارا، تو نے میرے لیے پہاڑ پر رکا

تم نے کبھی نہ چھوڑا

یہی سچ ہے امارا

تجھے دل سے سلام

Every line came from a story someone typed in. Yours will read like this — with their name, their details, in the genre you choose.

Ideas

Eid song ideas

What actually goes in one. Pick a couple — the song only needs two or three true things to stand on.

  1. The kitchen, and who runs it

    The dishes everyone waits for and the person who has been up since dawn making them. Name both.

  2. The ones celebrating apart

    A verse for the family on the other side of the world, in a language they can sing back.

  3. A tradition you now carry

    The thing your grandmother did that you do now. Songs are good at passing things on.

  4. For the parents, from all the children

    Every name, one song, played after the meal. Better than a card in any language.

  5. In their own style

    Choosing Urdu, Arabic or Hindi in step 1 brings up that language's own genres — a ghazal, a qawwali-inspired track, a Bollywood ballad — not a translation.

Pick a direction

Choose the tone, we'll set the dials

Each option starts the wizard with the occasion, genre and mood already selected — you just tell the story.

What to write

Story prompts that make it theirs

You don't need to be a writer — answer two or three of these in plain sentences and the lyrics will do the rest.

  • Who cooks, and what everyone waits for
  • The relatives you're celebrating apart from this year
  • A tradition passed down that you now run
  • What you wish for them in the year ahead

How it works

Making a Eid song, start to finish

  1. Step 1

    Tell the story

    Answer a few questions about them in plain sentences — the story prompts above are a start. Pick a genre, a voice and a mood, or take one of the Eid tones.

  2. Step 2

    Read the lyrics

    The words come back first. Change any line, swap a name, cut a verse — nothing is sung until you've said yes to every word.

  3. Step 3

    Hear it, then choose

    Two full recordings of your approved lyrics, usually within 3–8 minutes, each about two minutes (one to three, depending on how much you write). Hear the first minute of both free; pay A$39 for the one you keep. It arrives as a gift page and an MP3.

The full price list, what each tier includes and who owns the song are on the pricing page.
