Mungia is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the Basque Country of northern Spain. The town has 15,000 inhabitants.
Mungia lies 20 metres above sea level in an area full of open spaces, with a landscape of rolling hills; among these last are Gondramendi (217 m), Tallu (342 m) and Berreaga (366 m). The more important mountains nearby are Sollube (684 m) and Jata (592 m); these surround the valley of the Butroi river, which rises at the mountain of Bizkargi (536 m) and flows to the sea at the Plentzia estuary.
There are many small streams and underground springs, such as the Atxuri, Trobika, Lauromendi, Atebarri, or Mantzorriko Erreka, which are all tributaries of the Butroi river and provide water to the numerous fountains built in the town. In the past those waters helped to run more than 20 mills, some of which are still standing today.
Although there are still traces which show that the area where Mungia stands today was inhabited in prehistoric times (there is a castro - a fortified place where an army used to camp - in Berreaga, and some steles of various ages have been found in neighbouring towns) the first documented reference we have dates back to the year 1051, when an abbot from Mungia ( Mome Munchiensis abba ) confirmed a gift from the Lord of Biscay to the Monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla.
Do Dilon Ko Ye Duniya Milane Hi Nahin Deti
Aashaaon Ki Kaliyon Ko Khilane Hi Nahin Deti
Ik Baag Mein Kya Dekha Bulbul Vahaan Rota Tha
Aur Paas Khada Maali Kuchh Haar Pirota Tha
Dil Chir Ke Ik Phuul Ka Kush Kitana Vo Hota Tha
Bulbul Tha Tadap Jaata Jab Suui Chabhota Tha
Dukh Sah Na Saka Bulbul Kuchh Kah Na Saka Bulbul
Phir Bahane Lage Aansu Aur Kahane Lage Aansu
Kya ?
Do Dilon Ko Ye Duniya
Tum Mujh Se Ye Phuuchho Ge Kya Phuul Ki Haalat Thi
Ruutha Huwa Maali Tha Bigadi Huyi Qisamat Thi
Aankhon Mein To Aansu The Bechain Tabiat Thi
Sunasaan Tha Dil Usaka Barabaad Muhabbat Thi
Bulbul Se Juda Ho Kar Maali Se Kafa Ho Kar
Kaanton Mein Laga Rahane Aur Phuul Laga Kahane
Kya ?
Do Dilon Ko Ye Duniya
