lyrics

Bahut Kathin hai dagar panghat ki, Kaisay main bhar laaun madhva say matki? Paniya bharan ko main jo gayi thi, Daud jhapat mori matki patki. Bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki. Khusrau Nijaam kay bal bal jayyiye Laaj rakho moray ghoonghat pat ki. Bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki. TRANSLATION- The road to the Well is much too difficult, How to get my pot filled? When I went to fill the water, In the furor, I broke my pot. Khusrau has given his whole life to you Oh, Nijam. Would you please take care of my veil (or self esteem), The road to the well is much too difficult. Here the word panghat (riverbank) which denotes a large well or a reservoir of water, stands for the objective and destination of life, spiritual and temporal. The dagar, the approach road or lane is neither smooth nor straight and often circuitous and a rough terrain, meaning the approach to the Well is full of difficulties. The metaphorical meaning of the line above is that it is a daunting task and we better equip ourselves with the requirements and accomplishments of a true seeker. In classical Indian aesthetics, the beloved is always the male principle like Radha and Krishna. The Sufi folklore tradition adapted to the same model of the lover and beloved. The poet Amir Khusro is the disciple of the Sufi master Nizamuddin Ouhliya and he asks his master for help him on his path.
