how words transcend time , A more than 200 yrs old Ghazal by Mir taqi Mir used

Jabheen sajda karte hi karte gayi

forehead kept on bowing in prayers

Haq-e-bandagi ham adaa kar chale

i have fulfilled the duty of worshiping.

parasthish Ki yaan Tak Ke Aye Butt Tujhe

i worshiped you as idol, upto an extent that

nazar Mein Sabhon Ki Khuda Kar Chale

in eye of people, i `ve made you like a God.

bahut Aarzoo Thi Gali Ki Teri

i had too much desire of your street( closeness)

so Yaan se Lahoo Mein Naha Kar Chale

so i am in bloodbath .

Enjoy this classic piece of music once more...

AnMoL VaChAn- It’s not complete Ghazal but only four shayers (couplets) from full Ghazal-Fakirana Ae Sada Kar Chale, Miya Khush Raho Hum Dua Kar Chale.

This shows, even after two hundred years human emotions are the same.
