During the discussion in our Bazm-e-Eid Mehfil, there was an interesting to-and-from inititaed by Mast Qalandar on the following shey’r:
Eid ka din hai, gallay aaj tou mill lay zalim
rasm-i-duniya bhi hai, moqa bhi hai, dastoor bhi hai
I just found this video of a Lollywood film song built around what seems to be a version of the same shey’r. I do not know if the version in the film came first or the one seen at the back of trucks, but it makes for interesting and nostalgic viewing.
EID ko MILNE WOH AA AY THEY GALAY
DIL MEIN IK KHANJAR GHUSA KAR CHAL DIYE
MERI QISMET PER HUA UN KO HASAD
REH NA PA YE ZULF KO BIN BAL DIYE !
AAPKI MEHFIL MEIN AA NA THA GUNAH
HUM JO AA YE TO WOH UTH KAR CHAL DIYE
EID KI SHAB JASHN KA AALAM RAHA
CHAH KE ROSHAN RAHEY HER PAL DIYE
ISHQ KA MASLA WAHEEN PER HEE RAHA
AASHIQON NE GAR CHEY LAKHON HAL DIYE !
