Aman Ki Asha : Indo-Pak Peace Initiative

January 17, 2010 – 3:46 am by Bibhuti | No Comments »

Nothing will probably change. The hatred cultivated for last so many decades will
probably still remain. The bomb blasts will probably still continue. But there will be
nothing worse if we stop trying when we have time.

Times of India and Pakistan’s Jang group have started an initiative Aman Ki Asha -
The cultural and emotional people-to-people peace initiative. A series of television
and print campaigns are released highlighting the common culture we share. Gulzar,
who was bron in Pakistan and migrated to India during partition, has penned the
anthem “Nazar Mein Rehete Ho Jab Tum Nazar Nahi Aate“. A routine for Gulzar saab
but for mere mortals like us it’s simply awesome poetry.

Aankhon ko visa nahi lagtaa
Sapno ki sarhad hoti nahin
Band aankhon se roz main sarhad paar chalaa jaata hun milne
‘Mehadi Hasan’ se!

Sunta hoon unki aawaaz ko chot lagi hai
Aur ghazal khamosh hai saamne baiti huyi
kaamp rahey hai honth ghazal ke!
Phir bhi unn aankon ka lahjaa badlaa nahin
Jab woh kehatey hai…
Sookh gaye hai phool kitaabon mein
Yaar ‘faraaz’ bhi bichad gaye hai, shayad miley woh khwaabon mein!
Band aankhon se aksar sarhad paar chalaa jaata hoon main!

Aankhon ko visa nahi lagta
Sapno ki sarhad, koi nahin!

Dikhayi dete hain duur tak ab bhi saaye koi
Magar bulaane se waqt lautey na aaye koi
Chalo na phir se bichhayein dariyaan bajayein dholak
Lagake mehendi sureeley tappe sunayein koi
Patang udayein chhatton pe chadh ke muhalley waaley
Falak to saanjha hai us mein penche ladayein koi
Utho kabaddi kabbadi khelenge sahardon par
Jo aye abke to laut kar phir na jaye koi
Nazar mein rehtey ho jab tum nazar nahin aatey
Yeh sur milaatey hain jab tum idhar nahin aatey
Nazar mein rehtey ho jab tum nazar nahin aatey
Yeh sur bulaatey hain jab tum idhar nahin aatey
In lakeeron ko zameen hi pe rehne do dilon pe mat utaro
