sarkari aur ghair-sarkari do iden
Interesting Fact
About ten or fifteen years ago, on the last night of the holy month of Ramadan, at ten o'clock in the night, Radio Pakistan suddenly announced that the sighting of the crescent has taken place. Tomorrow is Eid. A few minutes later, preachers from various Mosques announced from their loudspeakers that this news is wrong. In this way, some families fasted and some celebrated Eid.
radio ne das baje shab ke ḳhabar dī iid kī
ālimoñ ne raat bhar is news kī tardīd kī
radio kahtā thā sun lo kal hamārī iid hai
aur aalim kahte the ye ġhair-shara.ī iid hai
do dhaḌoñ meñ baT ga.e the mulk ke saare avaam
us taraf sab muqtadī the is taraf saare imaam
beTā kahtā thā ki kal shaitān roza rakkhegā
baap bolā terā abbā jaan roza rakkhegā
beTā kahtā thā ki maiñ sarkārī afsar huuñ janāb
roza rakkhūñgā to mujh se māñgā jā.egā javāb
baap kahtā thā ki phir yuuñ baam par īmāñ ke chaḌh
roza bhī rakh aur roze meñ namāz-e-īd paḌh
aaj kitnā farq ful stop aur comme meñ thā
baap kā roza thā beTā iid ke jaame meñ thā
iḳhtilāf is baat par bhī qaum meñ paayā gayā
chāñd ḳhud niklā thā yā jabran nikalvāyā gayā
