tasavvur

jii Dhuundataa hai phir vahii fursat ke raat din
baithe rahen tasavvur-e-jaanaan kiye hue


after a long time went for a walk after dinner...
aur kuch puraane din yaad aa gaye.....

while searching for the lyrics of one of the Nusrat fateh ali khan 's song came across this site.
just have a look. though this sit has not been updated since 2000, the articles are really good (i read a few of them).

choti si mulaaqaat

musaafir hain ham bhii musaafir ho tum bhii
kisii mod pe phir mulaaqaat hogii
[Bashir Badr]



ek muddat ke baad khoye hue dost se baat ho gayee...na jaane jindagi ki raah me kahaan kho gaye the....
aur ab fir kab milenge pataa nahi...par milenge jarur....

hadsa

yahaan har shaks har pal haadsa hone se dartaa hai....
khilounaa hai jo mitti kaa banaa hone se darataa hai....

I dont know who worte this....but
Mumbai blasts must have created this fear in mind.
Though I am Sitting in Chennai still I can feel the fear.

chaand contd.

chaahiye ishq me.n mujhe aap hii kaa jamaal saa
daaG har ek badr saa zaKhm har ik hilaal saa
[Jigar Moradabadi]

badr - full moon
hilaal - crescent moon

Today sups asked me the meaning of "Chandracor"( a marathi word for crescent moon) .
As a curiosity I checked a word for it in Urdu also and I got these beautiful lines.

chaand

khoya khoya chaand, khula aasmaan

Aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
Tumko bhi kaise neend aayegi

While sitting in room just saw the moon , jaise ki apne hi khayalo me dubaa hai
reminded me this beautiful song.
Amazing lyrics and picturized on evergreen DEV ANAND....perfect combination for a romantic mood.

combo

saal badalte dekhe hain
din badalte dekhe hain
us se bhi jald humne,

rishte badalte dekhe hain.

Sups added nicely to it...


saal badalte dekhe hain
din badalte dekhe hain

us se bhi jald humne ,
pal pal dil ke haal badalte dekhe hain.

Dosti contd.

har taraf ziist kii raaho.n me.n ka.Dii dhuup hai dost
bas terii yaad ke saaye hai.n panaaho.n kii tarah
[Sudarshan Faakir]

[ziist = life; ka.Dii = strong; panaah = shelter/protection]

Ek aur baar doston ke naam....
Read this when i was just going thru' various posts on
www.urdupoetry.com
This site has become one of my bookmarks now. Thanks sups for suggesting me to visit this site.

Dosti

Baad muddat ke woh doston ki tarah
humse haskar milaa.. Waqt ki baat hai...

sometimes a minor thing can creat misunderstanding among friends...par jab ye kaale baadal hat jaate hai
to dil badaa khush ho jaataa hai.
This situation is exactly explained in above stanza of gazal, sung by pankaj udhas....one of my personal favourite gazals from initial ones by pankaj.

paan

lagaavaT kii adaa se un kaa kahanaa paan haazir hai
qayaamat hai sitam hai dil fidaa hai jaan haazir hai
[Akbar Allahabadi]

[lagaavaT = affection]

After a long time had good dinner in IIT,aur paan khaane kaa man kiyaa...
par kyaa kare aisaa koi naa milaa jo kahe paan haazir hai.
I think IIT should have a paan ka thela ..a typical U P style.
