YAAR KO HUM NE JA BJA DEKHA!!!

KAHIN ZAHAR TOH KAHIN CHHUPA DEKHA!!!


Sufian kalam by Hazrat Shah Niaz rendered by Abida Parveen!!!

yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha
kahin zahir kahin chhupa dekha
kahin mumkin hoa kahin wajib
kahin fani kahin baqa dekha
yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha
kahin zahir kahin chupa dekha

Laughed gleefully through blooming flowers,

Crooned in nightingale’s melodious songs.

He took the forms of the candle and the moth,

And annihilated Himself in flames of His own.

At times claiming “I am the Truth”,

Witnessed his head raised on the Cross.

O ‘Niyaz’ He was beyond the bounds of `You’ and `Me’,

And yet I see Him in every `You’ and `Me’.
