I heard a nice Qawali from the movie DHARAMPUTRA (1961), I think this rendition should be made available to all our fellow Indians in the state of Jammu and Kashmir so that they could remember Kashmiriyat which is stabbed badly after the recent events in the state.
I pay my tribute to the great poet Sahir Ludhyianvi who in 1961 was mature and forward looking to give right words to secularism. In todays india where we cant solve simple issues related to religion and accuse each other of secularism, psedo-secularism, atheism and what not, i think his words are immortal. We should be ashamed of the fact that we have become a regressive society.
The song by Sahir is as below:( link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p5KiazJH9c)
Kabe mein raho ya kashi mein..
nisbat to usiki daat se hi..
tum Ram kaho ke Rahim kaho..
matlab to usiki baat se hai..
yeh Masjid hi woh Butkhana
chahe ye mano chahe woh mano
bhai maqsad to hi Dil to samjhana
chahe ye mano chahe woh mano
yeh shaikho bhraman ke jhagde
sab nasamjhi ki baatein hi
humne to hi bas itna jaana
chahe ye mano chahe woh mano
agar jasbe mohabbat sabiq ho
har dar se murade milti hi
mandir se murade milti
masjid se murade milti hi
kashi se murade milti hi kaabe se murade milti hai
har ghar hai usika kashana
chahe yeh mano chahe woh mano
A tribute to secularism in INDIA and poetry of Sahir....
