I am not sure about you guys but i like this film, i like the story and the Star cast in this movie was awesome, Dharmendra, Jitendra, Vinod Khanna still looks handsome.The Burning Train had a 100% opening but collections fell; it didn't perform well and was given the final verdict of a below-average performer.
Today i am going to share my favorite prayer, and i would like to share a piece of my childhood memory. When i was in school, as far as i remember i was in class VIII, it was year 2002-2003, our school adopted a new prayer called Teri Hai Zameen Tera Aasmaa.
So before the school adopt a new prayer, our music teacher taught this song to all student in a month so that we dont make any mistake in prayer and pray in one tune.
A senior student name Monica, was chosen to sing this prayer in a function (i guess it was Independence Day function). School wanted someone to sing this prayer in front of all student so that they can welcome this new prayer.
When Monica started singing this song, we all were amazed to hear her melodious voice, and were happy with the new song. But when she finished the prayer her eyes were filled with teardrops and she just walked away. I don't know about others but i thought she over-reacted. At that time i was not mature enough to understand the meaning of this song, but as i grew up, as i finished my college and then started working to earn some money, i learnt so many things, and i have gone through all those huddles in life, all those problems in life, and facing them with a believe in god, and now i understand what is the meaning of this song, and why Monica cried at that time, because she knew the true meaning of this song she knew it but now i am going to tell you what this is all about.
Whenever i hear this prayer it remains on my lips for many days, and for me its hard to stop teardrops. I went back in my school days with this song... 

LYRICS

Teri hai zameen tera aasmaan tu bada meherbaan tu bakshis kar
Sabhi ka hai tu sabhi tere  khuda mere tu bakshis kar...,

Teri hai zameen tera aasmaan tu bada meherbaan tu bakshis kar
Sabhi ka hai tu sabhi tere  khuda mere tu bakshis kar,

Teri hai zameen tera aasmaan tu bada meherbaan tu bakshis kar
Sabhi ka hai tu sabhi tere  khuda mere tu bakshis kar,

Teri hai zameen tera aasmaan tu bada meherbaan tu bakshis kar
Sabhi ka hai tu sabhi tere  khuda mere tu bakshis kar...,

O… teri marzi se ae malik hum is duniya mein aaye hein...,

Teri marzi se ae malik hum is duniya mein aaye hein

Teri rehemat se hum sab ne yeh jism aur jaan paaye hain
Tu apni nazar hum par rakhna kis haal mein hain khabar rakhna
Teri hai zameen tera aasmaan tu bada meherbaan tu bakshis kar

 Sabhi ka hai tu sabhi tere  khuda mere tu bakshis kar,

Tu chahe toh hame rakhe tu chahe toh hame maare
Tu chahe toh hame rakhe tu chahe toh hame maare,
O…tere aage jhukake sar khade hain aaj hum saare

O…sab se badi taaqat wale tu chahe toh har aafat taale

Sabhi ka hai tu sabhi tere  khuda mere tu bakshis kar
Teri hai zameen tera aasmaan tu bada meherbaan tu bakshis kar
Sabhi ka hai tu sabhi tere  khuda mere tu bakshis kar
Teri hai zameen tera aasmaan tu bada meherbaan tu bakshis kar
Sabhi ka hai tu sabhi tere  khuda mere tu bakshis kar

MEANING OF THIS PRAYER 

(in this song people that you see are passengers of a fastest train in the world, and the train has cought fire. And they are praying to god in the last moment of their life and hoping for good. You can imagine the same situation with Hollywood movie Titanic(1997) when it was sinking)

Teri hai zameen.................. Sabhi ka hai tu sabhi tere, khuda mere tu bakshis kar!

It is your land, it is your sky, you are merciful, Lord grace us!

You are for all, all are for you, oh Lord grace us!

I am not an expert of Urdu or even Hindi, but i searched on google about the word BAKSHIS, i did not find anything expect the word Bakshis means "A relatively small amount of money given for services rendered (like we give tip to a waiter)" So here, i think, these people are requesting the Lord to grant their life as a tip as a Bakshis. Oh lord we are begging you for our life please grant us.

O... Teri marzi se ae malik,......... Tu bakshis kar!

Lord! with your wish we came in this world, Lord! with your mercy we all got this body and life,
Please keep your graceful eyes on us, and guard us everytime,
It is your land your sky you are merciful Lord please grace us.
an Urdu word "Rehmat" is used here so efficiently that it touches your heart.

Tu chahe toh hume.....  sabse badi takat wale tu chahe to har aafat tale.
Its Your wish to keep us alive, its your wish to let us die,
Oh we bow in front of you to seek your mercy,
Oh Almighty, all-powerfull only you can debar our problem.
"Ohh sabse badi takat wale tu chahe to har aafat tale" this line is so strong and dedicated to god.

Teri hai zameen.... tu bakshis kar

It is your land, it is your sky, you are merciful, Lord grace us!

You are for all, all are for you, Lord grace us!

Friends i remeber a Bollywood movie named My Name Is Khan, and the movie teaches us that we should not discriminate others on the basis of Country, Skin color, Language, Religion and Race... We all are one we all are human. We may discriminate on the basis of Good and Bad, but we should live as one we should behave to others as brother. Love is the answer Love is the way. Yes this is difficult but the path of humanity is full of thorns and those who walks over it are the ultimate human. May god grace us!

We all are one
