Ecstasy of "Teray Hotay Janam Liya Hota"

If I sound ecstatic I am not to be blamed. Trust me!

I have been looking for this for more than a decade now. 

Probably the only thing ever I have searched for so longingly!!!

It was the Ramzan of 1999. One eve just before the iftaar hour, there was this usual television program of some celebrity telling about his/her perception and routine of Ramzan. That day the guest was Hasan Nisar, the journo.

Though I was just 17 at that time, I had strong biases. Hasan Nisar did not fit the bill on any matter, other than his oozing passion (albiet in completely opposite direction). He was (/IS) passionately pessimist about anything under the sun, and I found him too much of a bigot and self worshiper to be liked.

As the interview reached the end, he offered to share a naat (nasheed) that he had written, stating that he hoped that this one thing he held more dear than anything else could be his face saviour on the day of judgement.

I still remember the smirk that I couldn't help.

Talat Hussain's voice narrated the words as the visuals of the desert land appeared on screen.

When the voice trailed into dimness and the credits rolled, only then I realized the little puddle in my palms that lay there in my lap facing up....

That was when I fell in love with Nisar.

I dont agree to his views. I think he has a flawed perception of the political setup. I think he is absolutely unreasonable in his expectations of the people. But if you ask me.......... 

I love him.

If someone just says all that you did not think you could ever spell, believe me, he knows whats inside your heart. Thats exactly whats inside his heart!

He may never know, a nobody that is me. Yet I love him.

And I love him for having said this to my Love صلى الله عليه وسلم........

Terey hotey janam liya hota

Koi mujh sa na doosra hota

Saans letta Tu aur mein jee uth'ta

Kaash Makkah ki mein fiza hota

Hijraton mein paraoo hota mein

Aur Tu khuch dair ko rukaa hota

Terey hujray key Aass pass kaheen

Mein koi kacha rastaa hota

Beech Taaif bawaqt e sung-zani

Teray lab pe saji dua hota

kisi ghazwa mein zakhmi ho ker mein

Terey qadmon mein jaa gira hota

Kaash “Uhad” mein shareek ho sakta

Aur baqi na phir bacha hota

Teri kamli ka soot kiyun na howa

Terey shano'n pey jhooltaa hota

Chob hota mein teri chokhat kee

Ya terey hath ka asaa hota

Teri pakeeza zindagi ka mein

Koi gumnaam waqiaa hota

Lafz hota kissi mein ayat ka

Jo Terey hont sey adaa hota

Mein koi jungjoo arab hota

Aur Terey samney jhuka hota

Mein bhi hota Tera ghulam koi

Laakh kehta na mein rihaa hota

Sochta hoon mein tab janam leta

Jaaney phir kiya sey kiya hota

Chaand hota Terey zamaney ka

Phir Terey hukm sey battaa hota

Paani hota udaas chashmo'n ka

Terey qadmo'n pey beh giya hota

Poda hota mein jaltey sehra mein

Aur Terey haath sey laga hota

Teri sohbat mujhey milli hoti

Mein bhi tab kitna khush'numa hota

Mujh pey parti jo Teri chashm-e-karam

Admi kiya .... mein moujza hota

Tukra hota mein ik baadil ka

Aur Terey sath ghoom'ta hota

Aasman hota ahed-e-Nabvi ka

Tujh ko hairat sey dekh'ta hota

Khaak hota mein Teri galiyoon kee

Aur terey paoon choom'ta hota

PaiR hota khajoor ka mein koi

Jiss ka phal Tu ney khaa liya hota

Bacha hota ghareeb bewa ka

Sir Teri goad mein chupa hota

Rasta hota teray guzarnay ka

aur Tera rasta daikhta hota

Buutt hee hota mein khana-e-Kabba mein

Jo Terey haath sey fanaa hota

Mujh ko Khaaliq banata ghaar Hasan

Aur mera naam bhi Hiraa hota.
