Mujh ko bhee Tarqeeb Sikhaa de yaar Julaahay

The poems of Gulzar Sahib are not just poems – they are beautiful expression of some forgotten sores that are still hidden in the depths of the heart – Expressions, which inadvertently touch the deep buried wounds in some corner of the hearts of the readers or listeners.
Another great feature of the poems of Gulzar Sahib is that they not only remind the pain but try to find the deep meaning and solution of the mysteries of life as well. 
 Sant Kabir ji, the most famous saint of the fourteenth century (1398 to 1518), was a Julaaha (weaver) by profession. His ideology deeply impressed and influenced all the Saints, Gurus, and all the later poets of Sant-mat, who came after him.
Even the great philosophers of modern age are impressed by the depth of thought and ideology, the practical approach and farsightedness found in his poetry.

In the following poem, Gulzar Sahib is asking the secrets of love – continuation of bonding in relationships and how to weave the blanket of life .... from Kabeer – the Jualaaha.


        Mujhko bhee tarqeeb sikhaa day yaar julaahay
        Aqsar tujhko dekhaa hai ki taanaa bunatay
       Jab koyi taaga toot gayaa yaa khatm huaa
       Phir say baandh kay
       Aur siraa koyi jod ke us main 
      Aagay bunanay lagatay ho
      Teray is taanay mein lekin
      ik bhee gaanth girah bunatar ki
      Dekh nahin saktaa koyi
      Mainay to ek baar bunaa thaa ek hee rishtaa
      Lekin us kee saaree girahen
      Saaf nazar aatee hain mere yaar julaahay
      Mujhako bhee tarqeeb sikhaa de yaar julaahay
                    "Gulzaar "
