Truth from the last King of Delhi: Haji Aslam Sabri

Bahadur Shah 'Zafar'

Kyon Kaba-o-kanisht main sar marta hai tu….sargarm-e-justuju
Tu dhoondhta hai jiskho woh tujh hi main hai.…par tu hai bekhabar

(Why do you run from the Kaba to the temple in such a fevered search?
That /He whom you long for lies within you, but you are unaware)

                                          Bahadur Shah ‘Zafar’




Take that couplet of the last king of Delhi in slowly and deliberately. And then again.  And then again.

To help, here is some more qawwali from Haji Aslam Sabri.

Bulaen Mustafa
Kya Haji Malang Ka
Roshan Ke Pekar
Shaidai Hum Yaar Ke Hain
Yeh Sab Tumhara Karam Hai
