Tu hi mera naam!

Kuch arz hai… kaheen bacha thoda karz hai,
Chukana hai karkey thoda thoda,
Janta hoon mein mera khud hona,
Aur hokar bhi na hona, ehsaas yeah khudgarz hai.

Kuch likhawati banawati baton se,
Kuch bantee simtee ahton se,
Ehsaas mein sarey pirota hoon,
Teri bandage mein banjarey sa mein khota hoon.

Hawaon mein ghultee se kushboo ki tarah,
Tera ehsaas mere maula,
mujhmein kaheen ghulta hai,
jadogar sa hai tu,
tera karishma gahde-ghade yoheen mujhpar khulta hai.

Kya gaoon teri tareef mein sadka?
Kya bataon rubaab teri had ka?
Tu allah hai, tu mula hai, tu Krishna, tu raam hai,
Hai tu nanak aur yesu bhi, unhee ke jaisa tu hi toh mera naam hai.

do you sing? you have such sufi-like attributes.. though I am pretty much an atheist .. your words glistened my eyes..
I wish someone strums a guitar and tries to sing this poem..
