HOLY HOLI
The festival of Holi in India, on March 11-12, this
year, reminds us of love, fellowship and joy, when all the troubles of
mankind have been burnt away in the fire of Love. It is a day when
people douse each other with color, either in powdered form or in water.
The clothes coloured by Holi, retain the colors forever. It is a Color
of Love.
HERE IS A HOLI GHAZAL - SONG IN URDU LYRICS - WRITTEN BY HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI (1902-1992) MY FATHER, AND SUNG BY ME IN LATER YEARS
The Lyrics of the Holi Ghazal are beyond the imagination of a human
being. They could only come from God, He who has colored the world with
every imaginable color-- and has then dyed the hearts of all with the
color of His Love. And these are His words to the people of the world:
"My Cup of Color has overflowed,
And the world is filled with color everywhere!
There is Holi everywhere, Holi everywhere!"
"When we have not to stay in this world,
Then come and let us play with the color of Love,
Let us douse ourselves with it,
And please the Creator of the World."
