Tu Hindu Banega Na Musalman Banega

Insaan ki aulaad hai insaan banega.

Do the hate-mongers ever listen to this song? Long ago I translated this song but right now I cannot find that old post — I’ll link to it as soon as I find it.

    yes! one of my favorites line ever of all times … that give me goose-pimples still when i sing it to my baby .. yes, i still do. she didn’t have a ‘name’ till about age 3, and till then, how lovingly i remember, you used to sing these words to her (which now i do):

    achha hai abhi tak tera kuchh naam nahi hai

    It’s good that right now you don’t have a name

    tujhko kisi mazhab se koi kaam nahi hai

    You’ve got nothing to do with any religion

    jis ilm ne insaano ko taqseem (divide) kiya hai

    The knowledge that has divided the people

    us ilm ka tujhh par koi ilzaam nahi hai

    You don’t carry the blame (or curse) of that knowledge

    tu badle huye waqt kee pehchaan banega

    You are going to be the sign of a changing time

    insan kee aulad hai insaan banega

    You’re a child of a human being, you’ll become a human being

    wow!! :)

    beautiful lyrics. any idea who composed this song?

    huh!! i had given the meanings between . i guess ur program erased those.. :)

    Maybe WordPress didn’t like the meanings :-). Anyway, I’ve written them again.

    Sahir Ludhianvi. Most of his lyrics of those times are magical. No wonder Amrita Pritam never married because of him.
