خدا ترا به غم ای شوخ مبتلا نکند اسیر پنجهٔ اندوه و غم چو ما نکند بیا طبیب دل دردمند عاشق باش که دست غیر به درد دلم دوا نکند تو کرده یی به غم عشق مبتلا دل ما برو نصیب دلت درد و غم خدا نکند به حق خون دل کشتگان راه وفا خدای عشق ترا کشتهٔ وفا نکند
دور از آن در چند در هر دشت و در گرداندم بخت برگردیده برگردد که برگرداندم طالعی دارم که چرخ بی‌مروت همچو شمع شام پیش از دیگر آگه از سحر گرداندم آگهی در کارگاه مخملم خون می‌خورد خواب پا برجاست صد پهلو اگر گرداندم زهره‌ام از نام عشق آبست لیک اقبال شوق می‌تواند کوه یاقوت جگر گرداندم خاک هم گاهی به رنگ صبح گردی می‌کند فقر می‌ترسم به استغنا سپر گرداندم ای قناعت پا به دامن کش که چشم حرص دون کاسه‌ای دارد مبادا دربه‌در گرداندم هم به زیر پایم آب و دانه خرمن می‌کند آنکه بیرون قفس بی‌بال و پر گرداندم شیشه‌ها کردم تهی اما تنک ظرفی بجاست بشکند دل تا خراباتی دگر گرداندم از ضعیفی سوده می‌گردد چو شمع انگشت من گر ورقهای شکست رنگ تر گرداندم چیزی از ایثار می‌خواهم نیاز دوستان تا مبادا این سلام خشک تر گرداندم چون حنا بیدل ز گلزار عدم آورده‌ام رنگ امیدی که پایش گرد سر گرداندم
Eastern Musical Journey has a similar route artistically & geographically too.The strong ties of Pakistan & Afghanistan is vivid in the History of Pak-Afghan relations socially,politically,culturally and in all the spheres of life including Religion, Values,Traditions,lifestyle,food & fiona, dresses,folk dances,Literature etc.Another Important aspect of these pictures of Afghanistan shows the glory of its past as if a dream, the development which was stopped and tarnished by the vested interest, intervention of the so called Super Powers,even today they want to breach the code of conduct of the two beautiful neighbouring countries who share so much....I've seen Afghanistan in my childhood when my Uncle Muhammad Anwar Khan late was Council General in Qandahar...what a beautiful country was Afghanistan.Proud of the Afghan Legacy and Pushtoons and Persian Dari Speaking,Tajjaks and other glorious people and times of Afghanistan who lived together with honour and dignity accepting the values of each others.In 2005 I produced a play seriel Matti written by Amanullah Nasar which was a tribute to the people of Pakistan and Afghanistan...the play seriel was a drop in the History of Pak-Afghan relations with all the upheavels which the two great Nations enjoyed in the past.Lets bridge the breach of hatred and life together with dignity and soberity.
Thanks a lot Amin sahab, I don't understand the words but enjoyed a lot the singing. I will be greatful if dineobe can write it's words for me. I m one of Shagirds of khan sahab from Mumbai. Please please. Raj Bohra
In 1999 I had the unforgettable privilege to be present at the recording of the soundtrack for the film THE CROSSING. Zaher Howeida and a few other amazing musicians composed in only 3 days the most beautiful and heavenly music I ever heard. Still tears wet my face when listening to this music and to his unique voice! Thank you, beloved Zaher Hodeida, for everlasting soul-music. You had been outstanding as a human being and as a singer and poet! Hope to see and hear you again in heaven! I am sure you are mostly welcome there, making the heaven more light and happy with your wonderful voice. I am so fortunate to have met you!
