Another reference is to the story of Laila and Majnoon, in which Qais becomes a madman (“Majnoon”) for the rest of his life after Laila’s father refuses to let them marry. For example, Naz references Mansoor al-Hallaj, a Persian mystic who was executed in the tenth century for saying “I am the truth!” Naz also includes the story of Joseph – referring to him with a rare title, “Maah-e-Kanaan”, meaning “The Moon of Canaan”.
TUM EK GORAKH DHANDA HO LYRICS U TUBE FULL
It is worth mentioning that “Tum Ik Gorakh Dhanda Ho” is full of references to prophets, Sufi saints, and Punjabi folk heros. At the same time, this poem would still be considered a hamd, or praise of God. Like Iqbal, Naz expresses a sense of frustration and wonder towards God. In the sense that “Tum Ik Gorakh Dhanda Ho” is a complaint to God, it is thematically similar to Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s famous “Shikwa”. At the end, after listing his grievances, the bewildered poet ultimately accepts divine incomprehensibility. The poem also points toward the unity of human religious experiences. This philosophically and spiritually rich text explores the paradoxes of religion like the prevalence of evil and injustice, selective divine intervention, and other indecipherable aspects of God. Naz Khialvi (1947-2010, real name: Muhammad Siddique) was a Pakistani poet and radio broadcaster from near the city of Faisalabad, most famous for his poem “Tum Ik Gorakh Dhanda Ho”.
