#Ishaara

[ittshb]

[heruntoldfeelingss]

Tujhse kehna tha bohot kuch,

Lekin kaha nahi gaya.

Itne khat likhey teri yaad mei,

Lekin tujh tak pohchaya nahi gaya.

Ab vo saare khatt,

Mere dil ki almaari mei mehfooz hai.

K kisi na kisi din kahin tu mile,

Toh tujhe sunaenge,

Tere bin kya guzri,

sabb bataenge.

••••••••••••••••

Kaash tum kuch kehdete,

Izhaar naa sahi koi ishaara kardete.

Mere intezaar ki inteha hogayi,

Baatein adhoori rehgayi.

Kuch nahi toh koi khat likhtey,

Mera haal puchte,

Ya kuch apni sunaate.

Jab dil mei koi baat ho toh kehdena chaiye,

Waqt rehte hi apno ko mana lena chaiye.

Sufi Love Through the Lens of Bollywood Music

Bollywood music is heavily influenced by Sufism and Sufi notions of love permeate the lyrics of most romantic songs. I want to explore some important Sufi concepts and how they manifest themselves in these songs and within the context of these movies.

Chand Sifarish from the movie Fanaa

"Zid hain ab toh hain khud ko mitaana, hona hain tujh mein fanaa"

trans: "I insist on ridding myself of me, I want to annihilate myself in you"

Bollywood romantic songs often emphasize on yearning, seeking and longing for the lover and Sufi poetry which speaks of a soul's yearning to unite with God serves as a useful metaphor to speak of the same. The intense, maddening, spiritual kind of love, although seldom portrayed accurately on screen is ever present in song lyrics. The concept of "twin flames" has been popular in the West for the last couple of years and is by and large, very misunderstood. From a purely spiritual perspective, The Lover and The Beloved are in each other all along (similar to the Jungian concept of anima & animus but slightly different) and yearn to unite with each other. In order for union to be possible however, one must first destroy their "ego" which they call "self".

2. Raabta from Agent Vinod

"Tera milna hai us rab ka ishaara maanu, Mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye"

trans: Meeting you was a signal from God, that he had made me for someone like you

There is a lot of emphasis on the soul's innate knowing and its longing for love which is its longing for God and how seeking union with the Beloved is the inner knowing to realise one's God nature and unite with God in Sufism. This song captures that feeling of things being "destined" and how God has always guided your union.

3. Katra Katra from Alone

"Khud se khaali ho jaoon, aaja tujhse bhar jaoon. Tinka, tinka jal jaoon. Aise jala do"

trans: "let me empty myself, let me fill myself with you. i want to burn up, twig by twig and you burn me."

This is a very erotic song and speaks of love in a very carnal way. However, this idea of dissolving yourself in your lover is a very Sufi one. What is love, if not absolute submersion in the object of your desire?

4. Satrangi Re from Dil Se

This movie itself is very deeply spiritual and I suggest watching it. However this song beautifully captures the 7 stages of love and two people going through it, in a very poetic and profound way. Go watch it!!

Some poignant lyrics include:

Dil ka saaya humsaaya

trans: The shadow of my heart is your shadow

(In my post about twin flames, I had touched upon this but I'll make another post about how the Jungian concept of shadow work and integrating your shadow is to understand your twin and merge them within your consciousness)

Koi noor hai tu (Are you a light?)

Kyun door hai tu (Why are you so far away)

Jab paas hai tu (When you're near me)

Ehsaas hai tu (Then you're a feeling itself)

Koi khwaab hai ya parchai hai (Are you a dream or a shadow?)

These lines alone capture the bittersweet, all consuming, indescribable and maddening feelings that a twin triggers in us.

I also highly suggest reading the lyric translation of this song as a whole because it captures the twin flame experience so exquisitely.

5. Tujh mein rab dikhta hai from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

"Tujh mein rab dikhta hai

Yaara main kya karoon

Sajde sar jhukta hai

Yaara main kya karoon"

trans: I see God in you my beloved, what do I do? My head bows down in worship to you my beloved, what do I do?

in my post I had mentioned the 7 stages of love, one of which is worship for the beloved. this song beautifully captures that feeling, of being absolutely devoted and enraptured by the beloved, that nothing less than worship could equate to how you feel for them. its beyond love, beyond admiration, its a holy kind of emotion, its devotion.

kehna hi kya yeh nain jo ek anjaan se jo mile chalne lage mohabbat ke jaise yeh silsile

what is there to say when these eyes met a stranger’s as if a story of love has begun

[Image ID: two gifs of Eddie Diaz, Evan Buckley and Christopher Diaz from 9-1-1. The overlaid song is Kehna Hi Kya. The text is written in both Urdu text and transliteration. The gifs have a slight pink hue around the edges, and a rectangle surrounding them, with the English translation written on the top and bottom:

GIF 1: Buck from 2.10 after the elf mistakes Christopher as his and Eddie's son, looking thrown as he turns back to where Eddie has carried Christopher off screen. This is blended with Buck, Chris and Carla from 3.12, in the park, pushing Christopher's adaptable skateboard. The Urdu lyrics read, "pyaare pyaare chehre ne kar diya ishaara." The English translation reads, "your lovely face has given a hint."

GIF 2: Eddie from 6.08, looking off with a slight smile as Carla tells him that sometimes dreams are better than reality. He looks like he's remembering something. The gif is blended with Buck and Christopher poking fun at Eddie's technophobia in 4.03. Christopher is laughing so loud while Buck tries to convince Eddie that those ads are just targeted advertising. The Urdu lyrics read, "Dekha teri aankhon mein sapna koi pyaara." The English translation reads, "I have seen in your eyes, a lovely dream."

tu hi mera dildaar, tu dil ka qarar, nahi iss baat sey mujhey koi inkaar

sajdey mei bethey hai jitni dafa, woh meri mannat mei harr baar hai

lagey jeet si mujhko, yeh haar hai kaisi?

mei tera sarmaaya hun, jo bhi mei bann paaya hu

itni be rang bhi, toh nahi zindagi, harr mulaqaat mujhsey yeh keh jaati hai

mei tera hojau, jo tu kardey ishaara

ishq ki chingaariyon ko phir hawa deney lagey

ahad raza mir and sajal aly as dr. asfandyar and dr. zubia in yakeen ka safar (2017)

humein itna pyaar// kalank (bonus track)//kuch khaas// tum se hi// teri jhuki nazar (film version)//tere sang yaara// ishq

[siddick]

Bade dino baad phirse yun muddkar dekha aaj,

Badi ajeeb thi zindagi jab yaha aana hota tha,

Aaj bhi kam ajeeb nahi,

Shaayad lautne ki pukaar hai ye,

Ham to yun bahaana dhund hi rahe the,

Chalo ab ishaara milgaya,

To laut hi aate hai....

Pavitr x Fem Reader.

Song: Bole Chudiyan.

Warnings: Fluff, kinda angst.

Bole chudiyan, bole kangna. 

Haai main ho gayi teri saajna. 

Tere bin jiyo naiyo lag da main te margaiya.

I started dancing to the music playing from the speakers. Maybe coming to this celebration wasn't a bad idea. And my cultured attire doesn't look too bad either. I danced in a crowd full of different people.

Aah aah aah aah, aah aah aah.

Bole chudiyan, bole kangna. 

Haai main ho gayi teri saajna. 

Bole chudiyan, bole kangna.

Haai main ho gayi teri saajna. 

Tere bin jiyo naiyo lag da main te margaiya.

-What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be saving the city? - I asked him and he grimaced.

-I got away. After all, being who I am at night and sometimes during the day shouldn't stop me from celebrating my favorite holiday. - he said and started dancing to the music.

-If only you would respect our dates so much. - I joined in the dance and smiled.

-Don't worry. Something like this won't happen again, even if it will then it means that you came earlier. - he said and shook his leg several times to the rhythm of the music.

Haai haai main marjaawa marjaawa tere bin.

Ab to meri raatein kat ti taare gin gin. 

Bas tujhko pukaara kare, meri bindiya ishaara kare.  

Hoye, lashkaara lashkaara teri bindiya ka lashkaara. 

Aise chamke jaise chamke chaand ke paas sitaara. 

Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.

Meri paayal bulaaye tujhe, jo roothe manaaye tujhe. 

O sajan ji, haan sajan ji. 

Kuch socho, kuch samjho meri baat ko. 

Bole chudiyan, bole kangna. 

Haai main ho gaya tera saajna. 

Tere bin jiyo naiyo lag da main te marjaawa.

There was supposed to be a verse of the song, but instead we heard people screaming and parts of buildings falling. Pavitr quickly took my hand and ran into the alley. He quickly started taking off his clothes, underneath which was a Spiderman costume, while I was looking at what it was from the corner.

-It's some green monster. And it's big. - I said and he was already in the costume.

-I promise you that we will spend the next holiday better.- he said and kissed me on the cheek. He shot his web and swung towards the monster.

People started pushing and pushing each other to disappear from the mutant's sight. In the crowd I saw a girl who was trying to save her mother, whose leg was stuck, from the rubble.

I ran there and tried to help her lift the boulder a little, which I managed to do after severely straining my wrist.

-Dhanyavaad! (Thank you). - the woman exclaimed and took her younger companion.

I looked towards the fight. Pavitr was doing well and the monster was about to fall. I was so focused on the fight that only at the last moment did I realize that the mutant's leg was about to hit me hard.

-Reader!- I heard a scream and felt as if every bone in my body had been broken. Only darkness remained.

-A week ago, our city was attacked by a monster known as the green goblin. Fortunately, no one died, but there were people who were injured or seriously harmed - the first words I heard.

I opened my eyes and realized that I was in the hospital. In front of me was a TV showing the news.

-Reader! Oh my God! You woke up! - the person who said this took me by the arms. After a moment of realizing my situation, I looked at this person.

-Pavitr? I am in the hospital? How? - I asked and he hugged me.

-I was pushed hard against a building by a green goblin. And I'm the forgetful one here. It's fine now. - Pavitr said the last sentence, as if to himself. Is he crying?

-Yeah. It is all right now. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? - I asked with a smile and patted him on the back.

-But it could have killed you! And I was powerless! I was afraid you were dead when he kicked you. - he said and ended the hug. He took my hand in his.

-Everything will be fine. I won't give up again and I'll run away right away. - I replied and leaned on the pillow.

-Kya tum vachan dete ho?- he asked with worry in his eyes.

-Main vaada karata hoon.- I replied and kissed his forehead.
