میرے دشمن کا بیٹا ہے مجھے آداب کرتا ہے
بڑے لوگوں کے بچے بھی بڑے معلوم ہوتے ہیں
- منور رانا
मेरे दुश्मन का बेटा है मुझे आदाब करता है
बड़े लोगों के बच्चे भी बड़े मालूम होते हैं
- मुन्नवर राना
Hitched to this since morning today! All I have been listening to today is this song!
Madan Gopal Singh and Chaar Yaar | Damadam Mast Qalandar

If you are in Delhi, don't miss Jashn-e-Rekhta. It is what India is. Diverse. Music, Poetry, Art, Heritage, Insights, Unlearning and much more just in one place. This is one festival in the country that truly represents the cultural ethos of this beautiful country. Do spread a word and let people know about it.
