Sharing a Sufi Kalam, which is very recent and was posted by the Rumi Rythm channel. This song and its lyrics were so profound that I had to post about it.
First, the song can be heard here: Vairagya | ویرَگ | Heart Touching Sufi Kalam – Ishq ka Sajda
What I found intriguing about this particular song is that although it is a Sufi song, it has themes of Vedic knowledge and Hinduism, moreover, the title "Vairagya" is actually a Sanskrit word that means detached/ without passion / colors...a state of mind which the Hindu religion teaches. The metaphors of the lotus and about the boat in the ocean and to be like the water that just flows without any attachment, are indeed what are the knowledge given in Hindu scriptures (Gita)...
Each line is so beautiful that again it felt like the lyricist/poet just wrote what one needs to hear...Somehow what I find amusing is that one of an earlier Sufi song (Chiraag bujhaye kaise) that I posted talked of the dilemma of the person how to go back to the world..and somehow, this song gives the answer to that question...
It talks of the detached attachment...and to just flow..and while in the worlds' affairs, keep the Beloved in the heart..
The lines I found too deep are
"haath kaam main ho, aur dil yaar main
yehi tareeqa hai , is bazaar main."
*One interesting thing I noticed was the YouTube video has a single scene ( I posted the snap below) of a man almost in prayer or remembering or in introspection...in a farm with so many sheep around.For some reason it reminded me of Jesus Christ (as the man even bears resemblance somewhat) as the one thinking of his 1 lost sheep, while the remaining 99 were near to him in the group (I think even the number of sheep shown in the photo are perhaps totaling to that number :))
The soulful lyrics of this song are not available online; hence I have typed them here:
"keechad main khilta hai jaise kamal ka phool
waise hi reh tu, mat kar dunya qubool
rehna hai yehi magar dil kahin aur ho
bheed main bhi badi khamoshi ka shor ho...
paani main kashti ho
kashti main paani na ho
dunya main hasti ho
hasti main dunya na ho
yeh vairagya nahin
ki jungle bhaag jaaye
vairagya vo hai ki
ghar main hi jaag jaaye
haath kaam main ho
aur dil yaar main
yehi tareeqa hai
is bazaar main.
na kisi se nafrat na kisi se moh
bas behta ja, jaise nadi ka pravaah
saqi ne sikhaya rang main berang hona
sabke saath hokar bhi bas apne sang hona
udta parinda hoon,
zameen par na paanv hain...
teri panaah hi..
ab meri chaanv hai...."
