Ismail may refer to:
Ismail and Junaid is a Pashto musical band originating from Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan. The band consists of two members - Ismail Khan, the lead vocalist, poet and composer and Junaid Javed, a guitarist, composer and supporting vocalist.
Ismail was born in Peshawar in a family of political background hailing from Charsadda. Junaid is described as hailing from a "multicultural background".
Ismail and Junaid, both university students and college friends, were originally amateur artists who performed in front of friends and social circles. After receiving wide exposure and appreciation of their musical talent, the duo decided to take their music to the next level and formed a professional band. Ismail and Junaid achieved first position in the All Pakistan Battle of the Bands contest at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) in 2010. After forming their band, they debuted by soon releasing their first official song Qarar, a Pashto single. The song has been their most successful release till date and the duo achieved overnight fame following its release; the official music video of the song has acquired hundreds and thousands of views on YouTube and was ranked as the second best Pashto song of all times by the Pashto Cultural Society. It was able to achieve popularity even outside the country and in the non-Pashtun Pakistani mainstream music audiences. The track hit radio and T.V channels all over the country and Goher Mumtaz, the lead guitarist of the pop rock band Jal, personally approached the duo to express his liking of the song. In 2011, they released yet another song, Ranra (meaning "light"), an alternative folk single which is also in Pashto and is breaking the records of Qarar as the fastest shared Pashto song on social websites.
Ismail Qemal Bej Vlora or commonly Ismail Qemali listen (help·info) and in Turkish İsmail Kemal Bey or İsmail Kemal Vlora (16 January 1844 – 24 January 1919), was a distinguished leader of the Albanian national movement, founder of the modern Albanian state and its first head of state and government.
He was born in Avlonya (present-day Vlorë) to a noble family. Having finished the primary education in his hometown, and the gymnasium Zosimea in Ioannina, in 1859 he moved to Istanbul where he embarked on a career as an Ottoman civil servant, being identified with the liberal reform wing of the service under Midhat Pasha, and was governor of several towns in the Balkans. During these years he took part in efforts for the standardization of the Albanian alphabet and the establishment of an Albanian cultural association. By 1877, Ismail seemed to be on the brink of important functions in the Ottoman administration, but when Sultan Abdulhamid II dismissed Midhat as prime minister, Ismail Qemali was sent into exile in western Anatolia, though the Sultan later recalled him and made him governor of Beirut. However, his liberal policy recommendations caused him to fall out of favour with the Sultan again, and in May 1900 Ismail Qemali boarded the British ambassador's yacht and claimed asylum. He was conveyed out of Turkey and for the next eight years lived in exile, working both to promote constitutional rule in the Ottoman Empire and to advance the Albanian national cause within it. After the Young Turk Revolution of 1908, he became a deputy in the restored Ottoman Parliament, working with liberal politicians and the British. In 1909, during a rising against the Young Turks, he was briefly made President of the Ottoman National Assembly but was forced to leave Istanbul forever a day or two later. Thereafter his political career concentrated solely on Albanian nationalism.
Please,
spread them!
Fly to end all
the sadness in your eyes,
miles and miles away.
Step around the walls we've built to defend
abundance assail.
We're close to the end of
Ismael. Ismael.
Watch us now, forward not back.
Late, too late to change the track
for Ismael.
Breathe,
I'm sorry for the echoes.
Sorry, sorry.
Breathe, oh
sorry for the echoes,
and it gets us high,
and it gets us down again.
Please,
spread them,
fly a long time.
There's no tomorrow.
Fly away today,
miles and miles away,
million miles away,
away.
Breathe,
I'm sorry for the echoes.
Sorry, sorry.
Breathe, oh
sorry for the echoes,
and it gets us high,
and it gets us down again.
Spread them out - shout!
The eyes in your face
still seem to believe
in human race.
Oh Ismael,
don't you see
we're deaf and blind
in a way so absurd to believe
that we don't pay.
Oh Ismael. Ismael.
Breathe,
I'm sorry for the echoes.
Sorry, sorry.
Breathe (sorry, sorry), oh
sorry for the echoes,
and it gets us high,
and it gets us down again.
Breathe (it gets us down again),
I'm sorry for the echoes.
Sorry, sorry.
Breathe (it gets us down again), oh
sorry for the echoes,
and it gets us high,
Uma esmola pelo amor de Deus
Uma esmola, meu, por caridade
Uma esmola pro ceguinho, pro menino
Em toda esquina tem gente só pedindo
Uma esmola pro desempregado
Uma esmolinha pro preto pobre doente
Uma esmola pro que resta do Brasil
Pro mendigo, pro indigente
Ele que pede, eu que dou, ele só pede
O ano e mil novecentos e noventa e tal
Eu tô cansado de dar esmola
Qualquer lugar que eu passe é isso agora
Essa quota miserável da avareza
Se o país não for pra cada um
Pode estar certo
Não vai ser pra nenhum
Não vai não, não vai não, não vai não
No hospital, no restaurante,
No sinal, no Morumbi
No Mário Filho, no Mineirão
Menino me vê começa logo a pedir
Me dá, me dá, me dá um dinheiro aí!
Now I've looked into the abyss
Been drawn down
Separated from my wings
And you're wrecked
Stranded in a lavastorm
And your sails are burning down
And when the night approaches
To hold your hand this time
Realise and fear
It won't be there when you awake
On your journey
Your companion is a twin
Who scares you with his smile
And tries to turn you `round
To x-ray your thoughts
To find out why you smile
And when the night approaches
To hold your hand this time
Realise and fear

Sunday morning, headache's healed
Strapped into our chesterfield
Caught our breath off the TV's chill
Cat is dead on the window sill
Brain is functioning cold as night
This god-damned day is out of sight
So much time to waste away
Too much time, for just one day
But still I caught a chill from skinny walking
I'm caught off guard that you're still gorgeous when you smell.
Hop the road to go and rent a flick
First time out kind of makes me sick
Today's breakfast won't take us far
Three cups of coffee and a candy bar
Despite the fact we're going to fight today
We'll scratch and win until our love's okay
Screw on the couch and scream at the sun
And maybe Monday morning won't ever come
And I'll never feel this home again
The world outside gives us nothing to see
They're blaring Black Cabbage on the CBC
Coffee's gone around 3 pm
I guess it's time to start drinking again
All our friends come invade our home
Kind of wish they'd just leave us alone
Poser Jesus thinks your dad's too deep
