Itni aawaazen tujhay deen ki galaa baith gayaa
Yoon nahin hai ki faqat main hee usay chaahtaa hoon
Jo bhee us paid kee chhaanv mein gayaa, baith gayaa
Itnaa meetha tha vo gussay bharaa lehjaa mat poochh
Us nay jis jis ko bhee jaanay ka kahaa - baith gayaa
Us kee marzi vo jisay paas bithaa lay apnay *
Is pay kya ladnaa ki falaan meri jagah baith gayaa
Baat dariyaaon ki, sooraj ki na teri hai yahaan
Do qadam jo bhee meray saath chalaa baith gayaa
Bazm-e-jaanaan mein nashisten nahin hotin makhsoos **
Jo bhee ik baar jahaan baith gayaa - baith gayaa
" Tahzeeb Hafi "
Zehan = Mind
Falaan = That person, So and so
Nashisten = Place, seats
Makhsoos = Reserved, Special
* It is Their choice to invite anyone to sit next to them.
Why fight over it that so and so sat in my place?
** There are no special or reserved seats in the court of the Beloved.
Whichever seat someone takes, he stays there.
Once a good friend and I were sitting on a bench in a park, and he was complaining about how corrupt politicians owned big mansions. I told him he owned something more valuable at that time which no one could take away. He asked what. I said that he now owned the bench on which he was sitting, the ground below it, and the space above it all the way up to the infinite sky. And at that moment he was the owner of it all and no one could take it away from him. He reflected on it for a few seconds and was silent for some time.
ReplyDeleteGod has given us the universe, and we have divided this earth into small parts. We now compare, complain, criticize, and even fight with each other over it. What a shame!
