Zeehale Muskin Options

[Roopa]

this is about the song 'Zeehale muskin' from Ghulami, music by Laxmikant Pyarelal and lyrics by gulzar.I love this song. I wanted to know the meaning of the first two lines...i know those are lines by Ghalib or Faiz,the persian poet. And that the rest of the song lyrics are added by Gulzar but I want to know the meaning of the first two lines. Anyone?

There's another version I have that's presented in a very different andaaz, more along the lines of a qawwaali. I think this also does justice to Khusrau's masterpiece. I am uploading it here, would appreciate if someone can identify the artists. Sorry for the not so great quality.

FYI :
AMIR KHUSRO, the name synonymous with quawalis and riddles interspersed with the message of peace and brotherhood is as popular and relevant today as he was during his lifetime.

Spreading the message of the legend, a musical programme was organised by Hazrat Amir Khusro Academy at his dargah on the occasion of his 750th birth anniversary.

A book written on the philosophy of Amir Khusro by Pradeep Sharma Khusro, General Secretary of the Academy was also released on the occasion. Explaining the basic idea behind the book, the author said, "The book presents the Indian identity of this sufi and common man's poet. The book talks about Khusro's love for India, its people, cities, flora and fauna, rituals and festivals."

Reflecting on the contribution of Khusro, Mohammed Shahid Khan, President of the Academy said, "Amir Khusro was the first Muslim who talked about son of the soil, national integration, Hindu-Muslim communal and cultural unity, and that too at a time when religious schism was prevalent in the society."

Meanwhile, R.K. Sharma, advisor to the Academy assured that the Academy will preserve and translate all the Persian works of Amir Khusro in Hindi, English and Urdu.

Adding colour to the Khusro evening, the Nizami brothers - Ghulam Sabri, Ghulam Waris and Yusuf Khan rendered quawalis of the master.

Jay, I believe there was a quawalli by Amir Khusro in Shyam Benagal's Mandi. I have heard it on a
radio program a couple of times. I rented the movie and there was only one line. If some one has an album of the movie it would be a great u/l. Its message is along the same line you mentioned above.
