Chandni

Tanha Tanha Laheron Pe Chalti Hoon

Subah Jagti Hoon Hosh Mein Aur Shaam Ko Behoshi Mein Dhalti Hoon

Lekin Jaab Hoti Hain Raat Tumhari Kadmon Ki Aahat Sunti Hoon

Main Tumhari Pairon Ki Pazeb Ke Liyeh Asman Ki Har Ek Sitara Chunti Hoon

Din Bhar Banti  Hain Bahut Si Kisse

Jis mein Main Ek Kirdar Hu , Har Ek Rang Mein Apni Adakari Nivati Hoon

Aur Jab Raat Ko Jab Laut Ti Hoon Khud Ki Asli Rang Mein

Duniya Ki Har Rang Surat Se Mita Deti Hoon

Aur Main Meri Laharon Ki Goad Mein Leat Ke

Tumhari Chandni Mein Jee Bhar Ke Nahati Hoon

Meri Sine Mein Chalti Hain Zimmedari Ke Kashti

Jis mein Na Sawar Hain Koi Humdard Ya Dilkash Hassti

Log Chalate Hain Meri Sine Mein Taqat Ki Khanjar

Dekhne Mein Main Hu Toh Pani

Lekin Asliyat Mein Bina Tumhare Main Hu Ek Banzar Samundar

Tum Jab Aati Ho Solah Singar Karke

Sham Ki Suraj Ki Lali Halke Se Apni Mang Mein Bhar Ke

Meri Jism Se Nikalti Khanjar-e-Khoon Tumhari Aagosh Mein Dhul Jate Hain

Meri Dharkan Ke Sare Dabe Aarmano Ki Darwaze Khul Jate Hain

Main Tumhe Apni Bahon Mein Chhupa Leti Hoon

Tumhari Jism Ko Chumke Tumhari Ruh Mein Utarti Hoon

Bahut Tapti Hoon Dinbhar Tumhari Judai Mein

Sari Raat Tumhari Thandi Shabnam Mein Gujarti Hoon 

Duniya Dekhti Hain Hamari Jism-e-Surat

Main Dekhti Hoon Tum Mein Apni Bhagwan Ki Murat

Tum Ho Meri Woh Sukun-e-Saya

Jis Ki Aane Ki Lagan Se Shuru Hoti Hain Meri Khushi Ki Mahurat

Main Tumhari Aagosh Mein Sar Ko Chupaye Chup Ke Se Ro Ti Hoon

Dono Ke Beech Mein Na Rahen Ek Shaash Ke Bhi Faslah

Main Tumhari Ishq Mein Aise Kho Ti Hoon

Mere Bina Tum Adhura Tumhare Bina Main Na Hoti Pura

Dono Ki Dil-e-Dhun Baaj Te Hain Ek Hi Laay Mein 

 Hum Dono Hain Aise Hi Ek Anokhi Ektara

Main Jahan Pe Aake Ruk Ti Hoon

Bahete Bahete Jiss Dar Pe Jhukti Hoon

Tum Ho Meri Woh Besh Kimat Kinara

Main Duniya Ko Deti Hoon Zindegi Aur Tum Ho Meri Zineh Ki Sahara

Meri Berang Badan Pe Duniya Ghol Ti Apni Marzi Ke Lakhon Rang

Lekin Meri Sine Mein Sadiyon Se  Base Tum Ho Meri Woh Khubsurat Nazara

Gandhara Art

                                                                                      


The region of Gandhara was the part of Achaemenian Empire in the time of Cyrus the great in 6th century B.C. It remained under the Persian domination for more than two centuries until Alexander the Great conquered it in 326 B.C. By 317 B.C. the last of the Greek forces of Alexander had departed from the country and in just 20 years the Greek rule disintegrated ceding the region to Mauryan dynasty.Founder of the dynasty was Chandragupta Maurya and his grandson Asoka who made Buddhism the state religion of his dominion and sent missionaries to neighboring states to spread the faith. After Asoka’s death the dynasty underwent a rapid decline and from about 184 B.C. Gandhara returned to Greek rule, then Sakas or Scythians. For about a century and a half the Sakas were able to maintain themselves in Gandhara and were supplanted by another similar group known as Kushans. The Succeeding Kushan rulers consolidated and enlarged their territory turning it into an empire. Like Asoka, Kanishka too adopted Buddhist faith and with the true zeal of a convert fortified the religion in the region with the establishment of Stupas and monasteries.



After Kanishka, Gandhara was annexed by Persian rulers. Buddhism continued to flourish and develop at greater or lesser pace till about 460 A.D. when the whole North Western India was over run by white Huns who carried out the total destruction and devastation where ever they went. Buddhism had developed such firm roots in Gandhara that in spite of a number of invasions and a succession of foreign rules in the thousand years or so, majority of Gandhara population remained Buddhist.


The artistic manifestation of the faith further strengthened the bond unifying the people of Gandhara. The subject matter of Gandhara art was the depiction of various Buddhist concepts. Political, socio-economic and cultural structure of Gandhara has been studied in its Buddhist Art. However, Buddhist art of Gandhara has been clouded in mystery. Even today, after over a century and a half of research, many of its problems are still unsolved. Questions remain such as the date of its zenith and duration of its survival; the historical ambience from which it arose; the sources of its many cosmopolitan influences; the inspiration of the “classical” Buddha image; the circumstance; of its downfall and the destruction of its monuments. All these issues are part of discussion of the present research study.
