Mehfuz....


Ya maula...
Ya maula...
Ya maula...

Ani jani hai kahani, Bulbulesi zindagani
Banti kabhi bigadti, Tez hawa se ladti bhidti,
Ha rehum ha raham farma aye khuda,Ha rehum ha raham farma aye khuda,
Mehfuz har kadam karna aye khuda aye khuda,Mehfuz har kadam karna aye khuda,
Aye khuda..........

Ya.....[Tarana]

Saason ki suti, Dor zaruti,
Jal jayegi, Jal jayegi,
Band jo laye the, Haaton ki muthi,
Khol jayegi, Khol jayegi.

Bhagwan kare kaya yeah ujali,Mitti mein mil jayegi,
Chahe jitni shamaye roshan karle,Dhoop toh dhal jayegi jayegi.

Ha rehum ha raham farma aye khuda,
Ha rehum ha raham farma aye khuda,
Mehfuz har kadam karna aye khuda aye khuda,
Mehfuz har kadam karna aye khuda,

Aye khuda..........
Sone chamak mein, Sikko khanak mein,
Milta nahi, Milta nahi,
Dhool ke zarro, Mein dhunde koi toh,
Milta wahi, Milta wahi.

Kya majhal teri marzi ke aage,Bandoo ki chal jayegi,
Tane ungli jo tu, KatPutliki chal badal jayegi jayegi.
Ha rehum ha raham farma aye khuda,Ha rehum ha raham farma aye khuda,
Mehfuz har kadam karna aye khuda aye khuda,Mehfuz har kadam karna aye khuda,Aye khuda..........Ha rehum ha raham allah


that this emphemeral life ,is like a bubble.. which lasts just for a moment in eternity..
sometimes its good ,some its is great .. sometimes its a fight like the lamp.. against the wind..
......but its only the lord... on whose wishes that we are safe... so we ask ..for his blessing

our breaths will extinguish...someday even all the lights will extinguish.. however hard we try. everything that start will end..
...........

the lord is not found in gold.. nor in dust..against his wishes nothing happens..

isnt it beautiful...
you know i never really interpreted it the way you have but it just left me speechless...and with a sense of humility ... how small i am in comparison to the powerful...to the all encompassing...
i dont know why i am saying this but...
THANK YOU
:-)

we are not small but a part of it all...
so we are bounded by nature.. the forces of it..

Preeti said...

you are right...but it overwhelmed me hence the feeling of smallness...
sandeep chowta released an album called mitti (ithink) ..sukhwinder has sung a track about Heer...which is so haunting that i feel like i am in a dark open place and there are stars fading softly all around me...
a friend just came in and asked me to make a word out of my name... i was quite busy and found it a tad irritating...because i spent the last 15 minutes trying out all permutations and combinations and then i got it...
PREETI IYER...becomes
"eeriey trip"
well i am called weird, freak on a leash, etc... by my closest friends so i guess this is a good tag for me...

@preeti waise .. what do u do ..

Preeti said...

Researcher - public health...

Preeti said...

i look at issues related to maternal, child and newborn health and HIV/AIDS...i look at how policies related to health could be amended....i evaluate the government's work and advise them on what actions they should take... i thrash pseudo american researchers when they try to give me gyaan about MY COUNTRY's field realities (without actually visiting the field themselves)... i dine with female and male honchos from UN and discuss startegies and priorities for health...
i stay in remote tribal hamlets and watch 14-15 year old girls deliver babies under nightmarish conditions...
i have felt furious, ecstatic, aggrieved, disgusted, disappointed, down right indifferent and many other emotions throughout my career...
but here i am absolutely passionate about what i do...
that's what i do, Varun...

Preeti said...

am listening to this track called Aankhen teri from this movie called Anwar... pata hai the
singer's ...kya kehte hai usko... talaffuz...is impeccable...the way he says 'aashiq' and 'khushboo' .... it is beautiful...i can listen to this song for the entire day...
actually i can also listen to saiyya by kailash kher for the enire day...there is a simple innocence about the sentiments in this song ... i almost cried when i heard it the first time and each time i hear it i feel like i cannot breathe...it chokes me...

@preeti..
i really can't correlate ..but must be tough.

Preeti said...

huh...?

Preeti said...

correlate with what...?

Achilles's Heel said...

the kinda of work ... you do..

Preeti said...

oh...ok...
not many people can...
and you know im not one of those idealist social workers...i believe in hard facts and evidence and i know that our government needs people like me who bring facts from the land into their offices so that they can decide on an appropriate, need-specific, culture-specific plan of action...
it is basically very technical and it is tough because our country is very diverse there are hundreds of cultures and one cant please everybody, right...
so someone somewhere does end up being deprived...
hmmnnn....
what do you do...?
