qavvali nusrat fateh ali KhaN
تم ایک گورکھ دھندا ہو ۔ ناز خیالوی
جزو ۔ ۳
دیکھنے والا تجھے کیا دیکھتا
تو نے ہر سمت سے پردا ہی کیا
تُم اِک گورکھ دھندا ہو
مسجد مندر یہ میخانے، کوئی یہ مانے کوئی وہ مانے
سب تیرے ہیں جانا کاشانے، کوئی یہ مانے کوئی وہ مانے
اِک ہونے کا تیرے قائل ہے، اِنکار پہ کوئی مائل ہے
اصلیت لیکن تو جانے، کوئی یہ مانے کوئی وہ مانے
اِک خلق میں شامل کرتا ہے، اِک سب سے اکیلا رہتا ہے
ہیں دونوں تیرے مستانے، کوئی یہ مانے کوئی وہ مانے
سب ہیں جب عاشق تمہارے نام کے، کیوں یہ جھگڑے ہیں رحیم و رام کے
تُم اِک گورکھ دھندا ہو
دیر میں تو حرم میں تو، عرش پہ تو، زمیں پہ تو
جس کی پہنچ جہاں تلک، اُس کے لئے وہیں پہ تو
تُم اِک گورکھ دھندا ہو
ہر ایک رنگ میں یکتہ ہو
تُم اِک گورکھ دھندا ہو
مرکزِ جستجو، عالمِ رنگ و بو
دم بہ دم جلوہ گر، تو ہی تو چار سو
ہوُ کے ماحول میں کچھ نہیں الاہو
تُم بہت دلربا، تُم بہت خوبرو
عرش کی عظمتیں فرش کی آبرو
تُم ہو کونین کا حاصلِ آرزو
آنکھ نے کر لیا آنسووں سے وضو
اب تو کر دو عطا دید کا اِک صبو
آؤ پردے سے تُم آنکھ کے رو بہ رو
چند لمحے مِلن دو گھڑی گفتگو
ناز جپتا پھرے جا بہ جا کوُ بہ کوُ
وحدہو، وحدہو، لا شریکہ لہو
اللہ ہو اللہ ہو اللہ ہو اللہ ہو
اللہ ہو اللہ ہو اللہ ہو اللہ ہو
गोरख धन्दा – नाज़ खियालवी
हिस्सा – ३
देखने वाला तुझे क्या देखता
तू ने हर सिम्त से परदा किया
तुम एक गोरख धन्दा हो
मस्जिद मंदिर ये मैख़ाने, कोई ये माने कोई वो माने
सब तेरे हैं जाना काशाने, कोई ये माने कोई वो माने
एक होने का तेरे क़ा’इल है, इनकार पे कोई मा’इल है
असलियत लैकिन तू जाने, कोई ये माने कोई वो माने
इक ख़ल्क़ में शामिल करता है, इक सब से अकेला रहता है
हैं दोनो तेरे मस्ताने, कोई ये माने कोई वो माने
सब हैं जब आशिक़ तुम्हारे नाम के
क्यूं ये झगड़े हैं रहीम-ओ-राम के
तुम एक गोरख धन्दा हो
दैर में तू, हरम में तू, अर्श पे तू ज़मीं पे तू
जिस की पहुँच जहां तलक, उस के लिए वहीं पे तू
तुम एक गोरख धन्दा हो
हर इक रंग में यकता हो
तुम एक गोरख धन्दा हो
मरकज़-ए जुसतुजू, आलम-ए रंग ओ बू
दम बा दम जलवागर, तू ही तू चार सू
हू के माहौल में, कुछ नहीं इल्ला हू
तुम बहुत दिलरुबा, तुम बहुत ख़ूब-रु
अर्श की अज़मते, फ़र्श की आबरू
तुम हो कौनेन का हासिल-ए आरज़ू
आंख ने कर लिया आँसुऔं से वज़ु
अब तो कर दो अता दीद का एक सुबू
आओ पर्दे से तुम आंख के रू बरु
चंद लम्हे मिलन दो घड़ी गुफ़्तगू
नाज़ जप्ता फिरे जा ब जा कू बा कू
वहदहू वहदहू ला शरीका ला हू
अल्लाह हू अल्लाह हू अल्लाह हू अल्लाह हू
अल्लाह हू अल्लाह हू अल्लाह हू अल्लाह हू
gorakh dhanda – naz Khialvi
Part 3
Click here for overall comments and on any passage for meanings and discussion. I could not find any authentic written version. This has been compiled from sources that wrote it down from nusrat fateh ali Khan’s qawwali performance. There were many errors. Some serious. I have attempted to correct them (perhaps commit some of my own in the process). Typically in a qawwali related asha’ar of other poets are inserted by the singer. Some of those may still be in here. Overall – a highly enjoyable sufi composition.

One considers you to be a part of the universe. Another withdraws from this (material) world (into seclusion, sanyas). But both are enamoured of the love of you. All are your lovers, then why are there these conflicts about Rahim and Ram. You are one tricky business.

You are in the temple, you are in the mosque, you in heaven and here on earth. Whoever can reach (understand) as much, that is where you are. You are one tricky business.

You are the focus of our search, even though we live in a world of senses (and you cannot be seen/touched). You are always manifest, you are all around. When we go in a trance (in love of you) we find that there is nothing but you, beloved and beautiful. You are the greatness of heavens, the dignity of the earth. You are the essence of the desire of all creation.

I have been crying, as if washing my face ritually, with tears. At least now grant me a glimpse of you, fill my flask of wine with your vision. Come out from behind the curtain, face to face, for a few minutes, for a few words so that I, naaz, may go about chanting, he is the one, he is the one, there is none but him.
