'Na tha kuch to khuda tha' is a very poignant ghazal reminding one of the 'Nasadiya sukta' in the Vedas. A ghazal which discusses spirituality, woes of existence, death and immortality. in just 3 'shers" or couplets. 'Na tha kuch to khuda tha, na hota to khuda hota न था कुछ तो ख़ुदा था कुछ न होता तो ख़ुदा होता نہ تھا کچھ تو خدا تھا کچھ نہ ہوتا تو خدا ہوتا i.e. 'When there was nothing there was God, when there will be nothing, there will be God' . He goes on to talk talk about himself after his death, ' 'Hui muddat ke Ghalib mar gaya, par yaad aataa hai/ Woh har ek baat pe kehna, ke yun hota to kya hota' हुई मुद्दत कि 'ग़ालिब' मर गया पर याद आता है वो हर इक बात पर कहना कि यूँ होता तो क्या होता وئی مدت کہ غالبؔ مر گیا پر یاد آتا ہے وہ ہر اک بات پر کہنا کہ یوں ہوتا تو کیا ہوتا i.e. 'Its some time since Ghalib expired, but we remember him still/ The way he used to say about everything as to what would happen if such and such were the case'. Surely a beautiful elegy to self! This is a ghazal from the Music Album 'Khushnuma Raat Hai' released by Sony DADC, which has ghazals and nazms by Dr Ajai R.
