hum kay thehray...

hum ke thehray ajnabi
itni madaraton ke baad
phir banain ge aashna
kitni mulakaton ke baad

hum ke thehray ajnabi
itni madaraton ke baad
hum ke thehray ajnabi..........

kab nazar main ayay gi be-daagh sabzay ki bahaar
kab nazar main ayay gi be -daagh sabzay ki bahaar
khoon ke dhabbay dhulain ge
khoon ke dhabbay dhulain gek
itni barsaton ke
ke thehray ajnabi..........
dil tu chaha par shikast-e-dil ne muhlat hi na di
kuch gillay shikway bhi kar letay munajaton ke baad
hum ke thehray ajnabi

...and do you know the story behind this beautiful ghazal..?

Faiz was talking about our East Pakistani brethren when he had written this poem...by then they had become our Bangladeshi brethren...
