Kun Faya Kun

I first hear these lines in this song from the movie Rockstar. Something strange used to happen to me while listening to this song.. especially that particular line. Just like any other jobless day that day, I went in search of the meaning of this line. The first explanation I came across was... "Be and It is"... I couldnt make head or tail of this line from the Holy Quran. I eventually had to hammer a friend who understands this better than me.

This is my understanding of what he said...

The line is - Kun Fayakoon. Fayakoon is a single word. In this Sura(chapter), Allah claims his own capabilities. Allah's magnificence and ease with which he can accomplish anything is explained here. He is the one who has created everything from nothing. For Him, if wants to create something, all he has to do is, say.... Let there be... and it is created...... As simple as... Kun Fayakoon....

I am not sure if I have done justice to this link from the Quran Sura. But this is what I understood... O:-)

Enjoy this beautiful composition from ARR... :-)

Lyrics copied from... blog.chandrahasa.com

Ya Nizamuddin Auliya, //Oh Ruler of the Saints,
Ya Nizamuddin Salqa //Oh Ruler of the crestfallen

Kadam Badhaa Le, Hadon Ko Mitaa Le, //Take a step forward, destroy these distances
Aaja Khaali Pan Mein Pee Ka Ghar Tera, //Come into this void, the home of your beloved
Tere Bin Khaali Aaja, Khali Pan Mein //Without you there is emptiness, come into this void
Tere Bin Khaali Aaja, Khali Pan Mein //Without you there is emptiness, come into this void

Rangreza(3) //He who fills me with color

Kun Faya Kun… //[He said] Be, & it is!

Jab Kahin Pe Kuch Nahi Bhi Nahi Tha //When, there was nothing,
Wahi Tha Wahi Tha //He was the one,
Wahi Tha Wahi Tha //the only one

Woh Jo Mujh Mein Samaya //He is the one who is in my soul,
Woh Jo Tujh Mein Samaya //He is the one in your soul,
Maula Wahi Wahi Maaya //O dear Lord, He is the one that is mystery

Kun Faya Kun, Kun Faya Kun //[He said] Be, & it is! Be, & it is!
SadaqAllahul-alliyul-Azeem //The truth is Allah, the sublime, the magnificent

Rangreza Rang Mera Tan Mera Mann, //My painter, color my body my soul
Le Le Rangaayi Chaahe Tan Chaahe Mann, //Take away the colors, from the body, from the soul

Sajra Savera Mere Tan Barse //The Morning showers(blessings) rain on me
Kajra Andhera Teri Jalti Lau //And it cleans up the dark soul of mine which is like darkness of night.
Qatra Mila Jo Tere Dar Par Se //Its only for the drop of nourishment that flows from yours,
O Maula… Maula… //Oh Lord…

Kun Faya Kun,Kun Faya Kun //[He said] Be, & it is! Be, & it is!

SadaqAllahul-alliyul-Azeem //The truth is Allah, the sublime, the magnificent
Sadaqa Rasulu-hun nabi-yun-kareem //The truth is his Apostle
Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam //May the blessing and peace be upon him

O Mujhpe Karam Sarkar Tera //It would be your generosity upon me, Oh master
Araz Tujhe, Karde Mujhe, Mujhse Hi Riha //My request, Free me from myself
Ab Mujhko Bhi Ho, Deedaar Mera //Even I should see myself
Karde Mujhe, Mujhse Hi Riha //Make me free from myself
Mujhse Hi Rihaaaaaaaa //From myself…

Mann Ke Mere Ye Bharam, //There is a mirage in my mind
Kachche Mere Ye Karam //For the weakness of my actions
Leke Chale Hai Kahaan, //Have got me where…
Main Toh Jaanoon Hi Na //I am lost…

Tu Hai Mujhmein Samaya, //You are in me,
Kahaan Leke Mujhe Aaya, //Where have you brought me
Main Hoon Tujhmein Samaya, //I have given myself to you,
Tere Peeche Chala Aaya, //In your footsteps I follow

Tera Hi Main Ek Saaya, //I am your shadow
Tune Mujhko Banaya, //You have created me
Main Toh Jag Ko Na Bhaaya, //I didn’t fit in the world
Tune Gale Se Lagaya //Yet you embraced me
Ab Tu Hi Hai Khudaya, //Only you are the Just,
Sach Tu Hi Hai Khudaya //Only you are the Truth…

Kun Faya Kun //[He said] Be, & it is!
Kun Faya Kun… //Be, & it is!

Life as we know it....

This is a clipping from the movie PS. I love you. This is what transpires between the characters...

Gerry Kennedy: [after their kiss in Ireland] Where are you going? 
Holly Kennedy: Stay. 
Gerry Kennedy: You have my jacket. 
Holly Kennedy: I'm keeping it unless we meet again, otherwise that will be the most perfect kiss ever shared by two strangers 
Gerry Kennedy: I bet we will meet again. 
Holly Kennedy: You better win that bet, because if we do, that'll be the end of it. 
Gerry Kennedy: The end of what? 
Holly Kennedy: Life as we know it. 
Gerry Kennedy: I'm singing at this... 
Holly Kennedy: Shh, if I happen to walk into the right one in the right town. 
Gerry Kennedy: What's your name? 
Holly Kennedy: No. 

Wish.... Every "the end of life as we know it" was as romantic... Sigh! Hope... I have the maturity to handle this end of life as I know it.... :-/

Guys... be around... I might need all those shoulders & ears... :-) 

Reached?

Since I was trained to be a GI Jane, everybody knew I will reach my destination correctly. Destination not in a philosophical manner, but an actual geographical destination. But when I slowly started showing traits of an attached barbie, my questions were shot down with responses like, 'If we haven't you will be informed'.

I used to be awed by an elder cousin of mine. Whenever he leaves point A to point B, he WILL ring folks back at point A & inform them that he has reached point B safely. If he is delayed for some reason, he would inform point A about that too. Whenever I am with this cousin & witness this conversation, I used to wonder... Does anyone have the time to actually care so much about other people these days? Are people actually concerned over this?

Apparently, there is a finite percentage of people who really are concerned and who takes time out of their schedule to get to know that... Or so I believe....

I, initially, used to be irked whenever I get the message 'Reached?' on my mobile. I am GI Jane, I do not need these things. I was not trained to handle this because I will never have to face such a situation because I am GI Jane. But then as my life went on its roller coaster ride, I started appreciating these gestures... :-) I use this message as a yard stick. If I haven't reached where I was supposed to reach when this message flashes on my cell phone... I know I have taken a wrong turn.....

PS.
These days, when I leave my cousin's company, I make sure that I call him back when I reach my destination.

Indian Rain

He {seeing me all geared up for a walk at night}: But it just rained now. It will rain again.

Well... It did rain and heavily too... :-) There were just random rumbling of the thunder when I started walking. Then there was the drizzle... But it was the couples enjoying the weather that brought a smile on my face... and the romantic music from my player ;-) There were a few crazy ones like me who were walking in the rain without any umbrellas... :-)

The climate slowly upgraded itself to a lite shower... and then came the downpour! It just reminded me of the showers we have during the Monsoon season in Kerala. It was a heavy downpour :-)

All throughout my walk, all I had been telling myself was... This is it! I am getting back home. But it seemed like my body had a mind of its own. Not only did I end up getting completely drenched... I also got my very own 'Indian Rain' moment.....

Lyrics for this song...


Rain Clouds in the sky, I Don't know why
They make me blue, when I'm thinking of you
Maybe they want to cry, As I walk on by
Hiding my tears, in a world of good byes
{Dhentha Dhentha Dhena na Dhena Dhentha Dhena na.........na ne na }

Love during summer rain, Causes no pain
Cause I'm looking back, at you once again
Memories crowding my mind, You're one of a kind
Life with out love, I'm helpless I'm dying
{Dhentha Dhentha Dhena na Dhena Dhentha Dhena na.........na ne na }

Rain drops and dance, strange kind of romance
I don't know why (whether) to cry out loud, But I'm feeling fine
Watch the rhythm of the rain falling down
{Dhentha Dhentha Dhena na Dhena falling down}

sa, re, ma, pa, ni ma, ni, re ni, ma, ma, re, ni, sa, re, ma, ma,re
ma ma re ....... ma, ma, sa, re, ni, ma, ni, sa, re, ma, ma, re, ma, pa, ni
pa, ni, sa ni, sa, re, ma, re, ni, ma

Rain drops and dance, strange kind of romance
I don't know why (whether) to cry out loud, But I'm feeling fine
Watch the rhythm of the rain falling down

Rain falling around, Its just the sound
I like to hear, when my hearts feeling down
{Ah..............}

Try to smile once again, As they slash in my window pain
I quiet like that, I don't mind I've got no complaint
{Dhentha Dhentha Dhena na Dhena Dhentha Dhena na.........na ne na }

Rain drops and dance, strange kind of romance
I don't know why (whether) to cry out loud, But I'm feeling fine
Watch the rhythm of the rain falling down
{Dhentha Dhentha Dhena na Dhena falling down}
{Ah..............}
ma, re, sa, ma .....................ni, dha
ma, re, sa, ma .....................
ma, re, sa, ma .....................re
ma, re, sa ........................................­.

Wild Thing

One day I was giving the analogy of a scene from an Hindi movie where Sunny Deol comes forward in his
cowboy types attire & tames the wild horse & woos his love interest.

He {still in his reverie}: Wild things are always wild, they can never be tamed.

Until yesterday, I have never given much thought into why the wild thing goes all the more wild when they sense some one come towards them... Until yesterday, I did not try to understand why the wild thing ran ferociously in all directions when some one tries to get close to them... Until yesterday, I did not pause to wonder why the wild thing would try to hurt some one who gets into their space... Until yesterday, I did not notice how mercilessly the wild thing would throw any one who gets dangerously close... Until yesterday......

Well... Some questions are best left as questions... At least until evolution kicks in.... Until then, enjoy whatever it is that you are doing ;-)

Insignificant Prani

Me {to a friend who doesnt show ego with people around him}: How do you do it? How do you rein in
your ego?
He {with his all knowing smile}: When you realize that you are insignificant prani(being) in this brahmand(universe), you will let go of your Ego.

But for me, being an insignificant prani comes with the awareness that... there are moments when you are a completely helpless prani too. A singular helpless prani.....

Day 9

This is just for you Kiddo. I know its nothing much but I hope this makes you feel better... I promise to do more on this project on a daily basis..

Mmmmmmuah! I miss you darling.....

Awake at Night!

He : Do women watch porn?
Me {having no idea where the conversation is heading to decides to keep mum}:
He : Because if you were a guy and you were woken up and was bored out of your mind, we would just watch porn

Last night, I was woken up in the middle of the night & then I just couldn't go back to sleep. One of my friend caught me awake at weird hours and we were having a nice conversation. I guess... That when he realized, I had all the time & no interest in doing anything at that instant.... Men!!!!

Evil caller who woke me up... If you are reading this... I soooo wished I had a hard piece of brick, a good aim & you within the range of that brick... Grrrrrrr....

Instant Cards

The one good thing about having a child who is interested in drawing is... You get instant cards for any occasion :-)

Thank You dear for making this in a jiffy... Mmmmmmuah!

Marriage Advices

Kiddo {almost in tears}: I asked uncleA! He didn't even hear me.
She {trying to pacify Kiddo}: Do one thing... Go & ask uncleP.
Kiddo {exasperated & going all high pitched}: I asked him also! He too didn't hear anything.
She {breathing a heavy sigh having lost the battle}: What to do dear?!!? Men are like that. They dont hear when we girls speak.
She {after a short pause & gaining energy}: Remember this when you grow up... Do not get married! Stay single & be happy.



Yes! Now, I have someone to share the blame if Kiddo doesn't stick to the norms... ;-)
