Kembara Jalanan…

When I visit Medan last April, I watched a Hindi movie ‘Jodhaa Akbar’. I was impressed and fell in love with one of the songs in the movie titled ‘Khwaja Mere Khwaja”. A song written by the famous A.R. Rahman. The translation (ie subtitle) of the song in the movie was pretty bad.

I recently found a very nice translation of the song thanks to kaissiom. Below is the translation:

Khwaja ji.. Khwaja
-[Khwaja, O Khwaja]
Khwaja ji.. Khwajaji
-[Khwaja, O Khwaja]

Ya Ghareeb-un-Nawaaz
-[O supporter of the poor]
Ya Ghareeb-un-Nawaaz
-[O supporter of the poor]
Ya Ghareeb-un-Nawaaz
-[O supporter of the poor]

Ya Moin-ud-deen
-[O helper/assistant of the Faith]
Ya Moin-ud-deen
-[O helper/assistant of the Faith]

Ya Khwajaji, ya Khwajaji
-[O Khwaja, O Khwaja]
Ya Khwajaji, ya Khwajaji
-[O Khwaja, O Khwaja]

Khawaja mere Khawaja, Dil me samaja
-[Khawaja, O Khawaja, come reside in my heart.]
Shahoun ka shah tu, Ali ka dulaara
-[You are the king of the kings, you are the beloved of Ali(R.A).]

Khawaja mere Khawaja, Dil me samajaa
-[Khawaja, 0 Khawaja, come reside in my heart.]
Shahoun ka shah tu, Ali ka dulaara
-[You are the king of the kings, your are the beloved of Ali(R.A).]

Khawaja mere Khawaja, Dil me samajaa
-[Khawaja, O Khawaja, come reside in my heart.]
Khawaja mere Khawaja, Dil me samajaa
-[Khawaja, O Khawaja, come reside in my heart.]

Bekassoun ki taqhdeer, Tune hai sawaari
-[The fate of helpless/needy/poor, you have changed]
Bekassoun ki taqhdeer, Tune hai sawaari
-[The fate of helpless/needy/poor, you have changed]

Khwaja, mere Khwaja
-[Kwaja O my Kwhaja]

Tere darbaar mein Khawaja, Noor to hai dekha
-[In your court Khwaja, we have seen the spiritual light(aura)]
Tere darbaar mein Khawaja, Sarr jhukate hain auliyaa
-[In your court Kwaja, you are held high by all other
Valiees(Saitns/Mystics)]

Tu hai Mutawwalli Khawaja, rutbaa hai pyaara
-[You are the Caretaker Khwaja, you have a beautiful title]

Chahane se tujhko Khwajaji, Mustafa(PBUH) ko paaya
-[If we love you(also), we may get the love of Mustafa(prophet Muhammed
PBUH)]

Khawaja mere Khawaja, Dil me samajaa
-[Khawaja, 0 Khawaja, come reside in my heart.]
Shahoun ka shah tu, Ali ka dulaara
-[You are the king of the kings, the beloved of Ali(R.A).]

Mere peer ka sadkha, Mere peer ka sadkha
-[Thanks to my Peer(saint/priest), Thanks to my Peer(saint)]

Hai mere peer ka sadhka, Tera daaman hai thaama
-[Thanks to my Peer(saint/priest), through whom, I have come to know
about you]

Kwajaji..
-[O Khwaja]

Talli har balaa hamari, chaaya hai qhumaar tera
-[All our worries/bad omens are gone, we are under your euphoria]

Jitna bhi rashque karein beshaq, to kamm hai aye mere Khwaja
-[No matter how much we envy you, it will be little]

Tere khadmoun ko mere rahnumaa, nahin choddna gawaara
-[It doesn't feel right to leave your side, you are our guide]

Khawaja mere Khawaja, Dil me samaja
-[Khawaja, O my Khawaja, come reside in my heart.]
Shahoun ka shah tu, Ali ka dulaara
-[You are the king of the kings, the beloved of Ali(R.A).]

Khawaja mere Khawaja, Dil me samaja
-[Khawaja, O my Khawaja, come reside in my heart.]
Shahoun ka shah tu, Ali ka dulaara
-[You are the king of the kings, the beloved of Ali(R.A).]

Khawaja mere Khawaja, Dil me samaja
-[Khawaja, O my Khawaja, come reside in my heart.]
Khawaja mere Khawaja, Dil me samaja
-[Khawaja, O my Khawaja, come reside in my heart.]

Bekassoun ki taqhdeer, Tune hai sawaari
-[The fate of helpless/needy/poor, you have changed]

Check out this interesting post by Dave Ramsey. Shows how you can buy a car without having to apply for a loan from bank and still retire rich!

Though I finished my car payments early this year, it is a very interesting concept which can be implemented in a lot of ways. Not only on cars.

Welcome Ramadhan! Just finished sahur and am waiting for Subuh prayer. Peace and blessings to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw).

I stumble upon Google reader and starts to use it. I’ve managed to reduce my bookmarks and even remove Firefox’s bookmark toolbar to save Firefox’s real estate.

I find that Chromium Browser by Google for Linux saves a lot of real estate so I try to follow it in Firefox by installing dmlite to hide Firefox’s main menu. I also like to browse in full screen mode hehe. Why not use Chrome instead you might ask? Well, I hate ads and useless javascripts and Chrome does not have addons such as Adblock Plus and Noscript to block them .

Below is screenshot of my Firefox:

Anyways, I will be going to Jakarta tomorrow after Friday prayer. I’ll be back on Sunday. Till then… Peace.

I’ve found 2 pretty cool addons for Firefox. One is Personas and the other is Weave.

Personas is more like a skin for Firefox. They have lots of skins that you can choose from.

Weave is an addon that manages your profiles so that you can use the same profile on multiple computers that you use. For example, I’m using it on my office desktop and home laptop. Therefore, my bookmarks will always be the same across both machines.

You can get more info at Personas and Weave.

Akhirnya muzakarah PTT & D1 se-Malaysia selesai tengahari tadi di Surau Taiping. Letih gak ulang-alik mengangkat speaker naik turun surau haha . Yg bestnya, suasana negeri Perak agak menyegarkan. Dua hari berturut-turut hujan turun so some events had to be held kat atas surau.

All in all, a great Success! Makan pon sedap wooo! TQVM pada team dapur!
