25.3.11

of flickers and flames

kaiee irradey har roz
bantey hain
ban kar, toot jatey hain
dar par vahee aatey hain
jinko madhav laal bulatey hain

na ameeron key
na gareebon key
chiraag jaltey hain
bas fakeeron key

mardaar qadir ali khan
terey naam sey har ittalaah hai
terey naam sey har inntahah hai

these words were sung at the end of an ecstatic whirling by the Malangs of Shah Hussain's mazar in Lahore, Pakistan.
