bits from Chakbast

Village Tulamula, 2008.

“Zara Zara hai mere Kashmir ka mihman-nawaz
Rah men pathar ke tukrun se mila pani mujhe”

I first came across these lines (typically, unattributed ) in the book ‘Kashmiri Pandits’ by Pandit Anand Koul (1924). Recently, picked up that the lines are by an Urdu poet of Kashmiri origins, Brij Narayan Chakbast (1882–1926).
