……Beautiful lyrics….wonderfully sung…haunting..total pleasure
Well this my Diary..Blog...but this song needs a special mention..it takes me to sm other world..whenver i hear it...the land of mystics...with pure and unblemished hearts and souls..
mystics,sufis singing this song..asking penance from god..for having witnessed smthing much more beautiful than the perception of their beloved,ie God.
and trying to justify their inebriated state..as a means to appease him.......
Maula mere, maula mere, maula mere, maula mere
Maula mere, maula mere, maula mere, maula mere
Maula mere, maula mere, maula mere, maula mere
Maula mere, maula mere, maula mere, maula mere
aankhein teri aankhein teri.. kitni haseen
ki inkaa aashiq, mein ban gayaa hoon
mujhako basaa le, iname tuuu
ishq hai …maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere…
maula mere maula mere, maula mere , maula mere
ishq hai …maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere
..maula mere maula mere, maula mere, maula mere
ishq hai …maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere…
maula mere maula mere, maula mere , maula mere
ki inakaa aashiq, mein ban gayaa hoon
mujhako basaa le, iname tuuu
mujhase yeh har ghadi, meraa dil kahe
tum hi ho usaki aarzoo
mujhase yeh har ghadi, mere lab kahe
teri hi ho sab guftagoo
baatein teri itni haseen,main yaad inko jab kartaa hoon
phoolon si aaye, khushabooo
rakh loon chhupaa ke main kahin tujhako
saayaa bhi teraa naa main doon
rakh loon banaa ke kahin ghar, main tujhe
saath tere, main hi rahoon
julfen teri, itni ghani
dekh ke inako, yeh sochataa hoon
saaye me, inake main jiyoon
ishq hai …maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere…
maula mere maula mere, maula mere
ishq hai …maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere..
maula mere maula mere, maula mere
ishq hai …maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere…
maula mere maula mere, maula mere
meraa dil yahi bolaa, meraa dil yahi bolaa,
yaara raaj yeh usane hai mujh par kholaa
ki hai ishq mohabbat, jiske dil mein
usko pasand karta hai maulaa....
meraa dil yahi bolaa, meraa dil yahi bolaa,
yaara raaj yeh usane hai mujh par kholaa
ki hai ishq mohabbat, jiske dil mein
usko pasand karta hai maulaa.....
meraa dil yahi bolaa, meraa dil yahi bolaa,
yaara raaj yeh usane hai mujh par kholaa
ki hai ishq mohabbat, jiske dil mein
usko pasand karta hai maulaa

Inspired by Women In Black---In Purdah---The Veil Of Strength!!!
Being a part of a Muslim university .... females in black,grey robes are now a familiar sight. It really didn’t seem right in the start…..felt they were repressed.
Later, in the girls common room when I saw those beautiful luminescent faces, relaxing, offering prayers….. thought it was better they were covered in burquas masked from preying eyes……nazar hi lag jaati un khoobsoorat chehro ko!
Many a trivial things in life have inspired me, but burkha simply was a nice revelation(pun intended).
Burqas, now seem synonymous to me with empowerment of muslim women,clearly as I too once thought buqas represented the women as the weaker/repressed section of the society.
Its a little strange that this university introduced me to the different facets of the burqa,as its a part of a Islamic religion and society.
Burqas gives these females the ease of working,studying with their non-muslim counterparts-shoulder to shoulder.
Great ...isnt it….atleast it acquaints us with the ideals of real women power, instead of assertation of the so called "liberation" through low waist jeans & tops that are too tight to give an audience a idea of the female anatomy!
Though it gives the wearer some security, as on one hand, they cannot be recognized on the street,but in the same process they lose their identity,coz those who wear a burqa have no faces.They cannot be seen.I felt this way they are deprived of not just individuality, but identity.
The woman with no face is deprived of her personhood. Imagine men wearing burqas.It's immediately obvious that what they would have lost are their identities.
However I also agree that, at the end of the day.....the burqa should not be forced,it should only be a personal choice,a symbol of the female authority. As long as women choose traditional robes of some sort, there seems no reason to object, even if we disagree with the ideologies underlying that choice.
Also as a friend remarked once, how this symbol of once female domination, is now a seen as a sign of women arrogance too, because the male bastion is derived of sighting the beautiful face of those illuminated eyes inside it....funny no!!!
