wo hata rahe hain parda sarre baam chupke chupke Lyrics
wo hata rahe hain parda sarre baam chupke chupke
main nazaara kar raha hoon sarre shaam chupke chupke
ye jhuki jhuki nigahein ye haseen haseen ishaare
mujhe de rahe hain shayad wo payaam chupke chupke
na dikhao chalte chalte yun kadam kadam pe shokhi
koi qatl ho raha hai sarre aam chupke chupke
kabhi shokhiyan dikhaana kabhi unka muskuraana
ye adaayein kar na daalein mera kaam chupke chupke
ye adaayein beniyazi tujhe bewafa mubarik
magar aisi berukhi kya ke salaam tak na pahunche
zara hoshiyar ae dil kahin dhaa na de qayaamat
us ada e kafiri ka de salaam chupke chupke
tere maikade mein saaki mera raaz khul na jaaye
wo ata rahe nawaazish mujhe jaam chupke chupke
ye jo hichkiyan musalsal mujhe aa rahin hain ‘Aaalam’
koi le raha hai shayad mera naam chupke chupke
Law: To eat and drink in gold or silver vessels and to apply oil from
little gold and silver cups, or to apply ittar (fragrance) from
pomanders made from them, or to inhale incense from fire pans
made from them, are all disallowed. This prohibition is applicable to
both men and women. Women are allowed to wear jewellery made
from gold and silver. With the exception of jewellery, the use of gold
or silver for other purposes is not permissible for both, men and
women. [Durr-e-Mukhtar]
Law: To eat with gold or silver spoons, to apply surmah (stibium)
using a gold or silver Sala’i (applicator), to apply surmah from a
surmah holder made from gold and silver, to look in mirrors made
from them, to write with gold or silver pens and ink, to make wudu
with a jug or basin made from gold or silver or to sit on chairs made
from them is not allowed, for both men and women. [Durr-e-Mukhtar,
Raddul Muhtar]
Law: It is permissible for women to wear gold or silver mirrored
thumb rings, but even for a female to look at her face in a mirrored
thumb ring is not permissible.
Law: The uses of gold and silver effects are prohibited in the
condition when the actual purpose is to use it (i.e. that particular
effect). If the actual objective is not this (i.e. to use it), then there is
no prohibition in this regards. An example of this is food which is
kept in a gold or silver plate or small bowl. If it is left in this, then it
is regarded as a waste of wealth (lavishness). One should remove it
from there and place it in another vessel (plate etc.) and then eat it,
or in the case where one took some water in the hand from it and
then drank it (i.e. one used the hand as a drinking vessel), or in the
case where oil was kept in a (gold or silver) goblet and it was not
used directly from it, but was poured into another utensil or taken in
99
the hand and then applied to the hair with the purpose that directly
using it from the (gold or silver) vessel is not permissible. Now if one
takes the oil out of it in this manner and then uses it, it is
permissible. (However) if the oil was taken in the hand for the
purpose of using it (i.e. applying it directly and not using the hand as
a vessel to transfer the oil from the gold or silver container), but
rather to make use of it, like when one takes oil from a small goblet
(or bottle etc.) to directly apply it to the hair or beard, then in doing
so, it is not abstaining from impermissible use, as this itself is to use
it. [Durr-e-Mukhtar, Raddul Muhtar]
Law: To use gold and silver vessels for tea is not permissible. The
same law applies to wearing a gold or silver watch on the hand.
Actually, even to see time in it is not permissible, as the actual use of
a watch is to see time in it. [Raddul Muhtar]
Law: If gold or silver effects are placed in a house exclusively for
adornment and ornamentation; for example, (gold or silver) dishes,
pen and ink pots (etc.) are arranged so that the house may be
decorated, then there is no objection to this. Similarly, if one adorns
the house with gold or silver chairs, tables and benches etc. and the
objective is not for sitting on them, then there is no objection. [Durre-Mukhtar, Raddul Muhtar]
Law: When instructing children during the Bismillah Khwani1
, silver
ink pots, pens and small writing boards are brought (to the
celebration). These items are not really used, but are rather given
away (i.e. gifted) to the person who has instructed the child. There is
no objection to this.
- Bismillah Khwani is the traditional celebration held for the commencement of Islamic
Studies of a child, usually when the child is 4 years, 4 months and 4 days old.

Law: With the exception of gold and silver, the use of all other types
of vessels (dishware) such as copper, brass, lead and crystal etc. is
permissible. The use of earthenware is the best. It is mentioned in
the Hadith that, ‘Whosoever made the utensils of his home from
earth (clay), the Angels shall descend to admire it. Copper and
brassware should be plated. To use crockery made from copper or
brass without plating them is Makruh. [Durr-e-Mukhtar, Raddul
Muhtar]
Law: Utensils (vessels) which have gold or silver etchings (i.e.
carvings or designs) on them may be used, as long as the designs are
not on the actual area of used. For example, if there are silver
decorations on a glass or bowl, then when drinking water, the mouth
should not touch that portion on which there is gold or silver. Some
are of the view that even the hands should not touch the area which
has gold or silver on it. The first view is the accurate view. [Durr-eMukhtar, Raddul Muhtar]
Law: If the handle of a cane is made from gold or silver, its use is not
permissible, because the manner of use is that the hand is placed on
the handle, and in this case, the area of use thus has gold or silver on
it. However, if its ferrule is made from gold or silver and the grip
(handle) is not made from gold or silver, then there is no objection in
using it, as there is no gold or silver on the area on which the hand is
being placed. Similarly, if the nib of a pen (or pencil) is made from
gold or silver, to write with it is not permissible as this is the actual
part that is being used. If it (the gold or silver) is on the outer
portion of the pen, then it is not impermissible.
Law: If there is gold or silver etching on a chair or bench or there is
etching on the ground, then to sit on it is permissible, as long as you
abstain from sitting on the actual area where the etching is.
101
The result of this is that, the use of such a thing which is made
purely of gold or silver is absolutely impermissible and if it has gold
or silver in numerous portions of it, then if the gold and silver is on
the area of usage, then it is impermissible, otherwise it is
permissible. An example of this is that to inhale incense from a silver
fire pan is absolutely impermissible even though whilst breathing in
the smoke (incense), the hand is not even touching the fire pan.
Similarly, if the pedestal of the Huqqa (Mogul pipe) is made from
silver, then to smoke Huqqa from it is impermissible, even though
the (smoking) person may not be touching the pedestal of the
Huqqa. Similarly, if the mouthpiece or pipe of the Huqqa is made
from gold or silver, to smoke from it is impermissible. However, if
gold or silver threads have been used on different parts of the Huqqa
tubes, then to smoke from that Huqqa is allowed, as long as there are
no such (gold or silver) threads on the area of use. On a chair, the
area of use is the seat on which one sits and the backrest on which a
person rests the back and the arm rests on which the arms are
placed. On a bench, the area of use is the seat and the same is for the
saddle (on a horse etc.). To have a gold or silver stirrup is also
impermissible and if there is any such etching on it, then this should
not be on the area of use. The same ruling applies to the reigns and
the tail piece of the harness. [Hidaya, Durr-e-Mukhtar, Raddul Muhtar]
Law: If there is gold or silver coating (plating/gilding) on crockery
(dishware), then there is no objection to using this. [Hidaya]
Law: The same ruling applies regarding the frame of a mirror which
has a gold or silver etching on it, and is not held (touched) when
making using of it. [Hidaya, Durr-e-Mukhtar]
102
Law: If there is gold or silver etching on the handle of a sword or on
the handle of a knife or dagger, then the ruling regarding all of them
is the same (as above). [Hidaya, Durr-e-Mukhtar]
Law: The same ruling applies if gold or silver alphabets have been
imprinted on clothing. [Durr-e-Mukhtar]. The detailed explanation
regarding this will follow in the discussion attire.
Law: It is permissible to mend broken crockery with gold or silver
threads (wire). It is also permissible to make use of such crockery, as
long as it is not used from that particular area, just as it has been
mentioned in the Hadith that Huzoor-e-Aqdas صلى الله عليه وسلم had a wooden bowl
which broke, so it was mended with a silver wire, and this bowl was
in the possession of Hazrat Anas ؓ
