[Reader-list] Hindus, Muslims celebrate Lucknow's 'Holi Baraat'

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Taha
 
Some uneducated thoughts:
 
That is a different world altogether where "Ann al Haq" (I am the Truth) resonates with "Aham Bramhasmi, Aham Vishnur, Aham Mahesha" (I am Bramha, Vishnu, Mahesha). A world where Krishna's Raas Leela with the Gopis (Krishna's dance with and teasing of the cowgirls) finds echoes in Amir Khusrau's "Mohay suhaagan keeni re, mohsay nainaa milaike" (You have locked your eyes with mine, Now I am wedded to you)
 
Kshmendra

Regards

Taha

hori kheloongi kehe bismillah
naam nabi ki ratn chadi
boon padhi allah allah
rang rangili oohi khilawe
jis seekhe ho fanafi allah
alastu bi rabbi kum- preetam bole
sab sakhiyoon ne ghunghat khole
ghalu ghala yuunhi kar bole
laillaha illalah
hori kheloongi kehe bismillah

-bulleshah
