NIKKAH & JANAAZA….. …
The difference between a wedding and a funeral!
IRSHAAD HAI !!
FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA
Teri doli uthi, Meri mayyat uthi, Phool tujh par bhi barse, Phool mujh par bhi barse,
FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA
Tu saj gayi,Mujhe sajaya gaya .
Tu bhi ghar ko chali, Main bi ghar ko chala,
FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA
Tu uth ke gayi, Mujhe uthaya gaya .
Mehfil wahan bhi thi, Log yahan bhi the,
FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA
Unka hasna wahan, Inka rona yahan.
Qazi udhar bhi tha, Molvi idhar bhi tha,
Do bol tere pade, Do bol mere pade,
Tera NIKKAH pada, Mera JANAAZA pada,
FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA
Tujhe Apnaya gaya , Mujhe Dafnaya gaya !
For those who would like to listen to these words, here is a link,
And for those who have three minutes to spare, here is another rendition of the same poem :

Mukarrar. Mukarrar !!
Indeed, these lines do touch the heart. Thanks for sharing.
Wah- Wah!!, Wah- Wah !!!
Bahut Khoob!! Bahut Khoob!!!
Too good. Very touching.
Thanks surjit. Since I understand Urdu, it has touched my feelings.
or as said -
in this little journey from swaddle to shroud
why should the spirit of man be so proud ?
more inconsequential grim thoughts:
1. The wood supplier at the Punjabi Bagh cremation ground
in west Delhi is m/s LUCKY TRADERS.
2. The i/c electric crematorium at Lodhi Road in New Delhi
is bearded muslim.
