Sajna ne full marya.......

"Sajna ne full marya meri roh hijar tak roi...
Lokan de pathran di mainu peed jara v na hoi......"

I love this song.... I heard the version sung by Sukhwinder... nice....

Once i heared a young boy singing this in train with Rawan Hatha(A sweet wired musical instrument, once prevelent in Rajasthan) I liked his version the most.... Sung deeply ... imbibed and with single music instrument... But i never felt the need of more instrument was necessary anymore in between the song...

Many of us must had heard the song... Most of us may have liked it.... BUT DO YOU KNOW THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE OR ORIGIN OF SONG...

WELL HERE IS THE THE STORY .....

This is the time of 880 A.D. and empire is of today's "Bagdad" ...
Sufi Saint Husain-Bin-Muhmad-Albedavi-Al-Halaz.... Commonly know as "Mansoor" was being prosecuted by then khalifa.... He was being carried through the roads of Bagdad and everyone who sees him had to pelt stone on him.... Many of peoples are doing so...



Another wise man of that time "Shibli" who know about the Mansoor's divinity pelted him with a Rose... Afraid to violate the verdict of Khalifa by not throwing a stone on him and feeling worried how to stone a holy Man... He chose middle way .... by throwing a rose....


This anguished the Mansoor most... Choosing a middle path for earthly benefits, Not trusting the divine, Diverting from path of truth is not aspected from a wise man.... So Mansoor said him, " Why you had chooses to ride two boats at same time? Either you have selected the divine or must become true to State(Kingdom)? If you had obeyed the kingdom then must have pelted me with stone.. and if you was my true friend then you must had not afraid from Kingdom. I had thought that you had understood Divinity... But you failed the both.."


feeling rush of blood in veins ... I had felt much more... Just do remember our folk in glorious and rich... To be prodded of...


So still we sing the same.... but meaning had changed.... That is how our culture depleted and rotten.....


Bottom liner:

Someone had asked Mansoor "Hajoor Ishque Ki huna hai?"

Mansoor Replied," Ishque tu ajj dekhi. Fir kal dekhi te jaho jalal parson dekhi isque da.....

He said this while he knows the verdict of being hanged till death after anguish of whole day of beating with lashes and pinned on pole by nails before death....

"Kal di raatmeri suwah mera wishona banigi,
Kal di raat mai apna wishona apne hanjua nal nahi bhion sakanga,
Har wakt to akhda si mai tere kol hovanga,
Eithe hi rahi, Nere tere te Ishque de rang taki."
