Rehman and Rehet were working as panier (Water carriers) at Narparistan Srinagar.
Those days very few households had water-tap connections. Water in earthen
pitcher could be supplied by the Muslim water carriers even to the orthodox
Pundit households, as some of the items including water in earthen pitcher
were secular in nature.
Early January, the couple was in a relaxing mood
after the day's work. It started snowing. The falling snowflakes added to the
romantic environment. The young romantic couple had already got engulfed in
romance.
Rehat whispered: "Rehmana sheen
haa logun". (Rehman it started snowing)
Rehman
said: " Asi chai kalchan kute vai?" (Do we have enough for the evening meal?)
Rehet said: "Anitis manz haa che seeri motha". ( Handful of broken
rice is in the lid of the earthen pot for cooking known as lejie and its
earthen lid is known as anuet)
Rehaman
said: "Pei tanus teli tarkun taani." (Then let
fall up to the sky)
After reading this mail, please be happy with
the little, and say peitanus teli tarkun taani. These four
words will make the little more than enough. This is the mantra to be
happy with what you have.
Part time job during the month of Ramdan for
Mohammad Sultan of Tankipora was to awaken people at dawn for ‘sahuer’ (Morning
meal). He was called Sulae Nalea. Nalea is the translation for shouting. While
awakening people for ‘sahuer’ during the month of Ramdan he used to address
Allah while reciting naadhi shrief: "Ya pakh perverdigara wandh hai seene
chi teri, magar tim ti chum chanei. Wandei yai te wandai kiah. Ne thouthus
phakai zaanh, ne dutethum yed barith"(Oh holy Pervardigar, I would love to
make sacrifice of my ribs for you, but these too are yours. So what to offer?
You neither let me be without food, nor did you give me bellyful)
Despite
plenty contentment is at bay.
Mume-Piale in Nai Basti Anantnagh had his
dwelling in a four to five feet high domeshaped furnace. Happy
Mume-Piale used to repair broken cups, and bake them in the furnace cum
dwelling. Ladies around at their leisure hour after their kitchen work was over
would often enjoy gossip and huqa with him.
Mum-Piale often used to say:"Ya pakh Perverdigara kar se reham panenis
tethi sendi paase; kerkh ti nai majboor gachi zin. Bhe chus majboor gachitei,
Che kiazi gachukh majboor miani baputh” (Oh His Holiness Perverdighar be
kind and merciful to me in the name of Your beloved. If not, don’t get tense; I
am already tense; why should you be?”)
One day I too addressed the Pakh Parverdigaar in same style. Some Muslim beside me
objected to my prayer. When I asked him for the reason. He said:" You
being a butta,(Kashmiri Pundit)
you can't say panenis tethi sendi passe." (In the name of your beloved)
I said:"Why?" He said:" His toth (beloved) is Prophet Muhammad. You don't
say PBU his soul simultaneously. And you don't believe that Prophet Muhammad
was the last prophet and He had
Mehraj."
I refuted and said I am equally His toeth,
otherwise He would not take all the care in maintaining me.
