Basant Panchami at Sufi shrines—something I always heard about growing up in Awadh. Instead of just telling the story, I spoke to Arshad Qawwal from Kakori, who has lived this tradition for 40+ years. His perspective is fascinating. Ever heard of this? Share your thoughts. #OneStoryAtATime

Here are some Braja-Bhasha verses celebrating 'Basant' (Spring), composed by the Mughal ruler Shah Alam II. Compiled in the work 'Nadirat-e Shahi', dated 1797.

باغِ جہاں کے گل ہیں يا خار ہیں تو ہم ہیں
گر یار ہیں تو ہم ہیں، اغیار ہیں تو ہم ہیں

बाग़-ए-जहाँ के गुल हैं या ख़ार हैं तो हम हैं
गर यार हैं तो हम हैं अग़्यार हैं तो हम हैं

مانگنے والوں کو کیا عزت و رسوائی سے
دینے والوں کی امیری کا بھرم کھلتا ہے-
माँगने वालों को क्या इज़्ज़त ओ रुस्वाई से
देने वालों की अमीरी का भरम खुलता है

بے خودی لے گئی کہاں ہم کو
دیر سے انتظار ہے اپنا

बे-ख़ुदी ले गई कहाँ हम को
देर से इंतिज़ार है अपना

مرے ہر عمل کو سراہ کر یہ اذیتیں نہ دیا کرو
مری جان تم بھی عجیب ہو تمہیں روٹھنا بھی تو چاہئے

Mire har amal ko saraah kar ye aziyaten na dia karo,
Miri jaan tum bhi ajeeb ho tumhen roothna bhi to chahiye

گالی سوائے مجھ سے سُخن مت کیا کرو
اچھی لگے ہیں مجھ کو تری بد زبانیاں

गाली सिवाए मुझसे सुख़न मत किया करो
अच्छी लगे हैं मुझको तिरी बद-ज़बानियां
