sanson ki mala

last couple of days i have been listening to this nusrat fateh ali song non stop.

saanson ki mala pe simroon main pee ka naam
apne man ki main jaanoon
aur pee ke man ki raam

:)

hmm...

goes without saying how masterfully it has been sung, and also that i get the theory too, of both those lines.

you would say it is easier said than done, this business of simroing (if there is such a word) of someone's name, but those who do, will tell you that it is actually the most natural thing for them. this is what comes to them on its own and it would in fact be a veritable pain to be asked to stop. ab kahan diljale ko sukoon chahiye? zunoon ke liye, bas, zunoon chahiye.

as to the second line, well, i get that too. that is how things need to be, what other people do, want, think, is their problem in life. it is between them and their god, none of your doggone business. you do what you have to do. simple. apne man ki main janoon aur pi ke man ki ram. if more of us could adopt this philosophy, there would be so much more peace around here.

ek ka sajan mandir me,
ek ka preetam masjid me
aur main? :D
sanson ki mala pe simrun main pee ka naam


i like this part the best

preetam ka kuch dosh nahi hai,
wo to hai nirdosh
apne aap se baatein ker ke ho gayi mein badnaam

hahaha, chalo, ye bhi theek hai.

and this last one too
prem ki maala japte japte aap bani mein shayaam

right! i guess that is a concept that bothers me, i have trouble getting that, i like the sound of it though, it sounds right. i need to think about it more i guess, or find someone who will explain it to me, one of the two.
