A Poetic Extravaganza to touch the deepest of your being

From The author of   " ..... Bus Tum Ko Paana Hai ! "


This includes an ultra-selection of the finest blend of modern urdu Poetry, though most poetry is of in-famous poets. I wanted to give something positive and constructive, in a unique and interesting touchy way.

Another reason for putting this section is that I hope this will help those girls and guys who originally have eastern ancestory but being living in the West didn't find much oppurtunities to read urdu poetry. It's such a treasure ot thoughts, emotions, feelings and thinkings.

Read each and every word carefully and try to memorize it. It will increase your urdu vocabulary to a considerable extent, Insha'Allah.

Learn urdu, respect urdu, preserve Urdu. It's our culture. It's our heritage. It's our identification.

Prayer ( Dua )

Kehtay  hain  ke  mil  jaati  hai, har  cheez Dua sey
Aik roz Tumhein maang ke dekhain gey Khuda sey

Always ask Allah for your love..... If your feelings are honest, true and holy without even a slightest hint of selfishness or materialism, your prayers will be answered. And then you'll know that a good life partner means everything to you.

Tujh sey maangoon mein Tujhi ko ke sabhi kuch mil jaaey
   Sau sawaaloon sey yahi aik sawaal acha hai 

~     Sab kuch Khuda se maang liya "Tujh" ko maang kar   
         Uth'tay nahin hain haath Merey, iss Dua ke baad

Girls ( Larkiyaa'n)

afsana-11.jpg (58100 bytes)

Sometimes, girls, specially girls of the East, hesitate, feel ashamed to admit their feelings. This could create problems. When you're sure of yourself, go for it. Confess it. It will relieve your heart. It will make you feel better, for sure. Otherwise, those flames of feelings will burn you up.

Jal jaati hain Chhup saadhey huey, Aag mein Apni
Hum " larkiyaan " Izhaar-e-tamanna nahin karteen


While confessing your love, don't ever think you are letting yourself down. Infact it needs guts to confess your love, to express yourself. Not everyone has this quality. Sometimes it may seem like a gamble. You may lose, you may win. But in either case, the victory is going to be yours....how?

Iss shart pe khailoon ge Piya, Pyaar ki baazi
" Jeetoon" tou Tujhey Paaoon, " Haaroon " Tou Piya Teri


Here's a message for all of you guys out there....have patience. It takes time to understand a beauty ( Husn ). Don't expect them to always respond to you immature flirtatious crushes.

Husn ke samajhney ko, Umer chahiyay Jaana'n
Do ghari ki chaahat mein, Larkiyaan nahin khulteen


There're girls, specially in this part of the world, who face hardships more than the guys do. And yet they try to hide the storms in their eyes and the sorrows behind those cute smiling lips.

Larkiyon ke dukh ajab hotey hain, Sukh uss sey ajeeb
Hans rahi hain aur Kajal bheegta hai saath saath


Some guys think that girls are like "stone". Funny na? They are mistaken. On the other side, such girls wish that these guys could touch them through their hearts one day and see that they're softer than " wax" (Moum).

Patthar  Mujhey   kehta  hai  Mera  chahney  wala
Mein " Moum" hoon Uss ne mujhey chhoo kar nahin dekha


And sometimes it happens to males too, specially with the shy guys. They like someone but don't have enough courage to express themselves.

Woh larki achi larki hai, Tum naam na lo, Hum jaan gaey
Woh jiss ke laanbay gaisoo hain, Pehchaan gaey.... Pehchaan gaey
Haan saath humaarey Aik ghar mein, Woh bhi thi Mehmaan buni
Par uss sey tou kuch baat na ki, Anjaan rahey Anjaan rahey

Aankhein

larki-kajal.jpg (89043 bytes)

Apni Aankhon Ke Samunder Mein Utar Jaaney De
Tera Mujrim hoon, Mujhey Doob Ke Mur Jaaney De


Eyes.The most sensitive anatomy of our being. They are mirrors. They are curtains. They are beauties. They are reflections. They're the doors to many of those secrets.

Aankh Milney sey hur aik Raaz bikhar jaata hai
Bhaid khul jaatey hain, Palkon ko jhukaaey rakhna


Do some eyes look empty without tears? All seas have islands (Jazeeray). Similarly just because some one's eyes are dry(khushk), you can't guess (Gumaan ) that he or she is happy. As may be those are just partially dry?

Ghalat gumaan na kar Meri khushk Aankhon par
Samandaron Mein jazeerey zaroor Miltey hain


Some people are just like tears.They give us nothing but tears. We can't keep such people in our eyes. And after all, what's the fate of tear? Ultimately it has to be slipped.

Mein tou Aansoo hoon, Kissi roz dhalak jaaoon ga
Toou Mujhey ankh ke saahil pe sajaata kiyon hai?


Similarly, some people just don't want to reveal their feelings, specially the sad ones. They cry alot when they are alone. But when they're in front of you, their eyes are dry. Though, at times, dry lands do contain floods ( Sailaab ) as well.

Hur koi ro ke dikhaaey yeh zaroori tou nahin
Khushk Aankhon mein bhi sailaab hua kartey hain


Some people seem to " fill " our eyes completely, leaving no place for others. Hai naa?

Ab tou Aankhon mein samaati nahin soorat koi
Ghaur sey Mein ne Tujhey Kaash na dekha hota


Some people have magical stare. They catch you by their gaze.You just seem to see the way they want you to.

Be-taab kar gai Mujhey Jaadoo bhari Nigaah
Mein unn ke " dekhney " ki Ada, dekhta raha


Many times, you can guess about people's nature and their intentions by their eyes. The way they look, the style they turn their eyes at times, tells you alot.

                                                      ~       Saabit hua ke Mujh sey Mohabbat nahin rahi
                                                          Woh shakhs Mujh ko dekh ke Aankhein chura gaya

~        Woh Aaj kiss ghazab ki banaawat sey aaey thay
         Meri taraf tha Rukh magar Nazrein churaaey thay


Being mirror, your eyes can reflect your dreams too.

Palkein bhi chamak uthti hain sotay mein Humaari
Aankhon ko abhi khawaab chhupaaney nahin aatay


Low gaze and bent eyes ususally show simplicity. But this simplicity is enough to melt someone's heart.

Aankhein jhuki jhuki hai, tou Chehray pe Noor hai
Zaalim ki Saadgi mein bhi kitna Ghuroor hai

 

But don't think if your eyes have met, your hearts will too. It's not necessary.

Nigaahein tou buhut milti hain aksar Husn waalon sey
Magar rona tou iss ka hai ke Dil sey Dil nahin milta


A good one.....

Aankh pe farz hai, hur waqt sawaali rehna
Iss ko sajta hi nahin, ashk sey khaali rehna


Oneof the most precious places I live in, is her " eyes ".

Laakh mein Khaana Kharabon ki tarha rehta hoon
Par kissi aankh mein, Khoaabon ki tarha rehta hoon

 

~        Jaati hai kissi Jheel ki Gehraai kahaan tak......     
        Aankhon mein teri "Doob" ke dekhain gey kisi Din

Memories (Yaadein)

It's blue.......... without You !


Rasm-e-Ulfat hi ijaazat nahin deti warna
Hum bhi aisa "Bhoolein" ke sada "Yaad" karo


There are times, when ordinary people who surround you, do not seem to understand your feelings. Specially, when you're alone and your only companions are " those " memories.

Jab Yaad Tumhaari aati hai, Moonh Bistar mein kar leti hoon
Sab kehtey hain " soti hai" , Mein chupkey chupkey roti hoon


Did you ever remember me?

No

Why?

Because, we remember what we forget. And you you're unforgettable. " Yaad Tou unhein kiya jaata hai jinhein insaan bhool jaaey, hai naa? "

Aik Muddat sey Teri yaad bhi Aai na Humein
Aur Hum bhool gaey hon Tujhey, Aisa bhi Nahin


Ah, those sweet, care-free childhood times, free of every tension, worries and depression. Even sleep used to be of different type. As soon as you closed you eyes, sleep took you into her arms. But now, though you still close your eyes but......

Ab Bachpaney ki neend tou Aik khawaab ho gai
Woh din kahaan ke Raat hui, aur so gaey


And not to forget that cute doll, those butterflies, those sweet mistakes of childhood, those innocent but naughty acts of young age.

Koi Mujh ko Mera bhar-poor Saraapa laa dey
Merey Baazoo, Meri Aankhein, Mera Chehra laa dey
Kuch nahin chahiyey Tujh sey Aey Meri Umer-e-rawaa'n
Mera bachpan, Merey Jugnoo, Meri Guriya Laa dey


Some memories are like bright morning light. They keep those deep evenings and dark nights of your life enlightened.

Ujaaley Apni Yaadon ke Humaarey saath rehney do
Najaaney kiss gali mein Zindagi ki Shaam ho jaaey


Some people make you mad. They're really irritating and frustrating. They tease you, taunt you, even make you angry. But..... but the weird thing is that we become so addicted to them that we miss such people when they're not aroundor ignore you (Be-Rukhi). How funny.

Be-Rukhi iss sey barh kar aur Bhala kya ho gee
Aik Muddat sey Humein, Uss ne sataaya bhi nahin


There are memories which are just like candles or lamps, guiding you through different pathways of feelings and thoughts.

Unn ki yaadon ke diyay jab kabhi jal jaatey hain
Hum khayaalon mein buhut door nikal jaatey hain


Memories are in series. Like a chain they surround your whole being, never leaving you alone.

Qurbatein hain ke Faasley hain buhut
Teri Yaadon ke silsiley hain buhut
Sona chaahon tou so nahin sakti
Meri Aankhon mein rat-jagey hain buhut


At times, you just don't seem to have any control over some feelings, specially " those " memories.

Teri hi Yaad ne kuch Dil sey na jaana chaaha
Warna Hum ne Tujhey sau baar bhulaana chaaha


Okay, if you don't want, we won't talk to you. We'll keep ourselves away from you but, is it necessary to forget you too?

Tark-e-Ulfat tou kiya hai Teri khaatir Mein ne
Ab Teri yaad bhi kum ho, yeh zuroori tou nahin


At times, we really regret  (Pachhtawa) our pre-mature decisions.

Bhula baithey ho Hum ko Aaj laiken Yeh samajh lena
Buhut pachhtaao gey, jiss waqt Hum kal yaad aaein gey


It's only the tradition of love ( Rasm-e-Ulfat ) which doesn't allow us to forget you, otherwise we can can forget you in a way you'll never forget.

Rasm-e-Ulfat   hi    ijaazat   nahin   deti   warna
Hum Tujhey iss tarah " bhoolein" ke sada " Yaad" karo


So she did a back biting, cursing me? Its okay, I don't mind at all. Atleast she was remembering me. Smile*

Chalo uss ne mujhey bura keh bhi diya tou kiya
Yahi buhut hai mujhey yaad kar raha tha koi



When you'll not find shelter anywhere in this long journy of life. Trust me, you'll miss this last tree.

Jab Raastey mein Woh kaheen Saaya na paaey ga
Yeh aakhri Darakht buhut Yaad aaey ga


There're some moments in your life when you wish that time could have been stopped. You just don't want to lose those precious moments. They're the best treasures and.... the best sourse of ever-lasting memories.

~      Kaash kuch dair yoonhi Waqt guzarta rehta
      Mein ussey dekhta rehta woh sanwarta rehta
    Uss ko jaana tha koi zakhm hi de kar jaata
       Iss bahaaney, Mein ussey yaad tou karta rehta


Some more touchy poetic flowers about memories and remembrances.......

~         Uss sey kehna ke badalta nahin jab tak Mausum      
         Mein agar Yaad bhi aaoon tou bhulaaey rakhna  

~         Yaad aai hai Teri aur bhi shiddat sey Humein      
     Bhool jaaney ka Tujhey jab bhi Iraada chaaha 

~        Mumkin nahin tha Jo, woh Iraada nahin kiya     
     Hum ne Tujhey bhulaney ka Waada nahin kiya 

~    Tapak partay hain Aansoo Jab tumhaari Yaad aati hai
     yeh woh barsaat hai jiss ka koi Mausum nahin hota

~     Aey dost Hum ko Hijr ki Raaton ka khauf kya   
             Tera khayaal jaagey ga, Soya karein gey Hum            

~      Yaad bhi uss ki yeh kehti hui Dil sey nikli
       Aisi Ujri hui basti mein bhala kya rehna

~       Suna  hai Humein woh bhulaaney lagey hain
       Tou kia Hum ' unhein ' yaad aaney lagey hain?

DARD  BHAREY  ASH'AAR
Ot.jpg (80748 bytes)

Aik zamaana tha hansey sub ko hansaaney ke liyey
Aaj hanstey hain magar Ghum ko chhupaaney ke liyey


" Shshhhhh "    She silenced his lips with a finger.

" Don't say anything. " She pushed back a black lock of hair from his forehead.

" Let me see you. " Her voice a husky whisper over which she had no control.

" I  want to absorb you in my sight " She said as she sat at the very front of him.

" I'm scared, " She said slowly, her voice thin and weak.

" Not of death ofcourse. I am scared of going away from you........ " She said like she was talking to  herself. " I am afraid. Not of death but of myself leaving you for ever. "

Apney marney ka ghum nahin laiken,
Haaey....... Tujh sey Judaai hoti hai

( Bus.... Tum Ko Paana Hai )

 

Sometimes, it becomes too late when you realize your feeling or when you get courage to express them. Remember, don't fight yourself for true, holy feelings. Just let them come out before it's too late for you or for.....

~    Hum sey aaya na gaya, Tum sey bulaaya na gaya
     Faasla pyaar mein, Donon sey Mitaaya na gaya

~    Aaney ke waqt, Tum tou kaheen ke kaheen rahey
Ab Aaey Tum tou Faaeda? Hum hi nahin rahey

There are times when your friends, your relatives, your loved ones and your beloveds need you more than anyone else. You should have an ability to just " check in time".

Kabhi khud pe, Kabhi Haalaat pe rona aaya
Baat nikli tou har aik baat pe rona aaya


Why those people are jealous of sincere, honest lovers?

Aik door ki nisbat sey bhi jal jaaey gee Duniya
Tum apni kahaani mein Mera naam na dena

 

 

And.....they punish you for this " crime" of love. ( Jurm-e-Mohabbat)

Yoon Jurm-e-Mohabbat ki saza deti hai Duniya
Hanstey huey chehron ko rula deti hai duniya
Marney ki Tamanna ho tou, marney nahin deti
Jeetey hain tou jeeney ki saza deti hai Duniya


When after all, we have lost what we loved the most then what's the use of thinking so much about the same? But sometimes, you just don't seem to have any control over your thoughts. Right naa?

Ussey tou kho hi chukey hain Phir khayaal kya Uss ka
Yeh fikar kaisi ke Ab ho ga Haal kya Uss ka


Not many people note the fact that thorns never leave the flowers even during the spring season and yet we think that flowers are blooming happily in the garden ( Gulshan).

Zindagi phool ki kaanton pe guzar jaati hai
Laug kehtey hain ke Gulshan mein bahaar aai hai


What's the difference between " home " ( Ghar ) and " house "( Makaan ) ? A house is just an empty space surrounded by wood, glasses and stones. It's "people" living in a house who make a better and real home.

Humaarey ghar mein yoon tou Kya nahin hai
Bus   itna    hai,   koi   rehta   nahin   hai


These worldly people, how weird they're. They hurt you and then pray for you?

Iss qadar Zarf tou rakhtey hain Zamaaney waley
Zindagi chheen ke jeeney ki dua detey hain


No noise of those strong airs, no feelings of powerful storms. After you, the condition ( Aalum) of heart is just like a space ( Khalaa), an empty place.

Ab woh Toofaan hai na Shor Hawaa'on jaisa
Dil ka Aalum hai terey baad khalaa'on jaisa


Though at times you're not happy but circumstances might make you even sadder

Pehlay hi kaun si theen bahaarein Merey liyey
Tum aur Meri Zindagi weeraan kar gaey


Ever wondered how does a heart feel when it's hurt? Drop a stone on the mirror !

Chout lag jaaey toy kya hoti hai Dil ki haalat
Aik Aaeeney ko Patthar pe gira kar dekho


At occassions, some people are so hopeless that it's hard to believe for them that someone's is going to help them out.

Kaun aaey ga yahaan, koi na aaya ho ga
Mera darwaaza Hawaaon ne hilaaya ho ga


How can I say goodbye to someone I never had? Why do tears fall for someone who was never mine? Why is that I miss someone I was never with and I ask why I love someone who's love was never mine?"

Woh Aik Shakhs, jiss ka saath, lamhey bhar ka tha
Mein uss ke waastay kiyon Dil udaas karta hoon?


They say, there's a sorrow behind every smile.

Merey Dukho'n sey na koi Udaas ho jaaey
Mein apney Chehray pe Khushiyaan saja ke milta hoon


You can't clap with one hand. Partness, separation means distance between two lovers, and their involvement.

Yeh Dard kum tou nahin hai ke Humein Toou na mila
Yeh aur baat ke Hum bhi na ho sakey Terey


Who could forget those memories when.....

Labo'n pe geet tou Aankhon mein khawaab rakhtey thay
Kabhi Kitaabon mein Hum bhi Gulaab rakhtey thay
Kabhi kissi ka jo hota tha Intezaar Humein
Bara hi Shaam-o-seher ka Hisaab rakhtey thay


When ultimately the ship has to be drowned then why do we, sometimes, see the beach (Saahil) before death?

Doobna tha jo Iss Kashti ka Muqaddar Ya Rub
Aankh ke saamney Aey kaash, na Saahil hota


Some hearts have ghosts( Aasaib). That's why, no one likes to live in those hearts.

Na-jaaney kaun sa aasaib Dil mein busta hai
Ke jo bhi Thehra, woh Aakhir Makaan chor gaya


Some people are scared of their inner self. That's why they sing, they laugh, they smile, just to divert their attention.

Ajeeb khauf hai undar ki Khamoshi ka Mujhey
Ke Raaston sey guzarti hoon Gungunaatey huey


Excess ( Bohtaat) of everything is bad. Okay, even of love?

Hur cheez ki bohtaat mein nuqsaan buhut hai
Shiddat sey kissi shakhs ko chaaha na keejiyey


What's the use of meeting when hearts are so far away. Just " meeting" someone doesn't mean that it's really a meeting. Aftar all, seas meet with beaches too, and yet are always separate.

Dil Juda hoon tou Mulaqaat sey kya Haasil hai
  Yoon tou Saahil sey samandar bhi mila kartey hain


~                Ghum ki jaageer wiraasat mein mili hai Mujh ko                   
                  Apni Jaageer mein rehta hoon Nawaabon ki tarah                    

~            Sooraj ke saath doob gaya Mera Dil bhi Aaj                  
Itna udaas shaam ka manzar kabhi na tha    

~              Tum, Merey liyey aur koi ilzaam na dhoondho                     
           Chaaha tha Tumhein, Aik yahi ilzaam buhut hai                  

~            Iss Hansney mein chhupey dard ko mehsoos tou kar               
                   Woh tou hans hans key yoonhi khud ko saza deta hai                     

              ~       Iss mein Qismat ki khata hai na Zamaaney ka qusoor                           
Ghum tou insaan ke jeeney ki saza hotey hain        

~                  Apni saansein Meri saanson mein mila kar rona                          
Jab bhi rona Mujhey Seeney sey laga kar rona

  Betrayal (Be-Wafaai )

 

Aankhon Mein koi khawaab utarney nahin deta
Woh shaks Mujhey chayn sey marney nahin deta
Bichhray tou ajab Pyaar jataata hai khaton mein
Mil jaaey tou phir Had sey guzarney nahin deta


Someone steals your sleeps. And atlast when you get some sleep, the same person fills your dreams. Oh, nobody gives you wounds but him, and no one treats those wounds other than.......

Neendein Meri Aankhon sey churaata hai wohi Shakhs
Sou jaaoon tou khawabon mein bhi Aata hai wohi Shakhs
Hur  Zukhm ka khaaliq bhi koi aur nahin hai
Hur Zakhm par Murhum bhi lagaata hai wohi Shakhs



Is love a fraud? A fake mirage? A false virtuality of life?
NO. It's not. However one must know how to differentiate between love and flirt.

Husn Waalon ki Adaa'on pe na marna Yaaro
Ishq dhoka hai, Kabhi ishq na karna Yaaro


You can't make any marks ( Naqsh )on water. Can you? Similarly, you can't trust those who have "be-trayal" as a part of their nature. They're just like flowing water, accepting every image they come across.

Aik Be-wafa sey Dil ka lagaana fuzool hai
Paani pe koi Naqsh banaana Fuzool hai


Okay. We're not sincere as you say so. Now go and search someone " sincere " for yourself.

Be-Wafa Hum hain tou AeyJaan-e-Wafa yoon hi sahi
Dhoondh lena jo Tumhein koi Wafadaar miley


How funny is that. In good times, they promise that they'll live with us, will die with us. But when you're angry, you're hurt and need their attention, they just forget everything........

Kehta tha ke Hum saath jiyein, Saath Marein gey
Ab rooth gaey hain tou Manaaney nahin aaya


Yes, eventually you do know someone's going to betray you, leave you. It's all written on that face and still you trust.... ???

Jiss ke Chehray pe sabhi Jhoot ki Tehreerein hain
Dil ussi Shakhs ke waadon sey behelta kiyon hai


Don't be too happy while looking into the image (aks) formed in the standing water. First drop a stone and then see if the scene changes.

Paani Mein Aks dekh kar khush ho raha tha Mein
Patthar kissi ne phenka tou Manzar badal gaya


How artificial and be-ghairat some people are. They just forget their every past when find a new, beautiful present.

Woh kar rahey thay Apni Wafaa'on ka tazkera
Dekha Mujhey tou baat ka pehloo badal gaey


People make you die. And who's accused? Nobody but YOU

Woh tou jaan le ke bhi waisa hi naik-naam raha
Ishq ke baab mein sab Jurm Humaarey nikley


Why heart feels this " pain"? This weird kind of pain which makes you want to know how will they be, who have left you forever.

Aik kasak si hai Dil mein ke Maaloom tou ho
Chhor ke Mujh ko woh kiss haal mein rehta ho gaa


Not always, but mostly, mistakes are present on both sides.

Mujh ko bhi shauq tha, naey Chehron ki deed ka
Rasta badal key chalney ki Aadat ussey bhi thi


Yes, there're people who are even scared of love. They think that it'sdangerous to fall in love with people who could break hearts like principles.

Pyaar kartey huey iss waastey darta hoon ke Laug
Tor detey hain Yahaan Dil bhi, Usoolon ki tarah


Some people just don't care.

Parhi Namaaz-e-Janaaza kissi ghair ne Aa kar
Marey thay Jinn ke liyey, Woh rahey Wuzoo kartey


Not every one who shakes hands with you is your friend. For some it's just a formality, for others it's just a habit.

Tum takkalluf ko bhi Ikhlaas samjhtey ho Faraz
Dost hota nahin hur haath milaaney wala


Now, no response, no answer, not a word from.... the person we loved the most.

Dekh kar jo Humein chup chaap guzar jaata hai
Kabhi Uss shakhs ko, Hum Pyaar kiya kartey thay


When they're thirsty and need you, they talk so sweetly but once they're satisfied, they change their accents.

Pyaasey honton sey buhut karta hai meethi baatein
Ho ke Sairaab..... Badal jaata hai Lehja Uss Ka


You can't " lose " some one without " owning " him / her first.

Agar woh mil ke bicharta tou koi baat bhi thi
Jiss ko paaya hi nahin tha, ussey khona kaisa?


Don't let yourself give sleepless nights for those who, themselves, sleep peacefully, without even remembering you.

Sadiyon ka rat-jaga Meri raaton mein aa gaya
Mein aik haseen shaks ki baaton mein aa gaya


So, what's the treatment of all of this pain and stuff, huh? Is it wise to spoil your whole life for someone who didn't even care. Be sensible, forget those who who have done the same with you.

Kissi be-wafa ki khaatir, yeh Junno'n faraaz kab tak
Jo tumhein Bhula chuka hai, Ussey Tum bhi bhool jaao


" Waiting " for someone, specially for your beloved is such a painful experience. It might turn you into stone.

Roey na lab hilaaey, na jhupki kabhi palak
Hum Tairey intezaar mein Patthar ke ho gaey


Kuch aur Ash'aar, issi Mauzoo ( Topic ) par.....

~        Tum Merey liyey aur koi Ilzaam na dhoondo
         Chaaha tha Tumhein bus yahi Ilzaam buhut hai

~             Ghairon ki baat choriyay, Aakhir woh " ghair hain "
            Apna bana ke Aap tou ruswa na keejiyey    

     Ab Ussey Kaun bataaey Dilon ki majboori
            Mein Kiya karoon ke Naya humsafar bhi acha hai

~         Utha kar phool ki patti, nazaakat se masal daali
         Ishaarey se kaha Hum dil "Aisa" haal kartey hain

Parting (Judaai )

udaas-larki.jpg (43810 bytes)

Be-Atebaar Waqt pe Jhunjla key ro parey
Kho kar kabhi Ussey, tou kabhi paa ke ro parey
Khushiyaan humaarey pass kahaan Mustaqil raheen
Bahar kabhi hansey tou, Ghar aa ke ro parey


Parting itself is the biggest distance and obstruction in between those who have been very close.

Chaley aatey hain Tairey pass laiken
Judaai    Raasta  rokey   khari  hai


He has left me forever and yet it seems like he is still with me.

Bichhra kuch iss ada sey ke Rut hi badal gai
Woh Mujh sey bichhar kar bhi Juda kiyon nahin hota?


Physical distance doesn't matter as long as thinking is the same. But when hearts don't meet, it's the greatest distance ever.

Jab tak humaari soch mein kuch Faasla na tha
Woh Hum sey door ho kay bhi Hum sey Juda na tha
Faasley aisey bhi hongey yeh kabhi socha na tha
Saamney baitha tha Merey aur Woh Mera na tha


We met through co-incidence ( Ittefaaq)and became apart through fate.

Milna tha Ittefaaq, Bichharna Naseeb tha
Woh utni door ho gaya, Jitna Qareeb tha

So you didn't like to confess your love? Then you should have stopped your lips, when they were trembling.

Tujh ko izhaar-e-Mohabbat sey agar nafrat thi
Apney honton ko larazney sey tou roka hota
Hosla Tujh mein na tha Mujh sey Juda honey ka
Warna Kajal; teri Aankhon mein na Phaila Hota


After you, we forgot everything. We'll start searching for you, but first we have to search ourselves.

Kuch bhi na raha yaad Humein, Tujh sey bichar key
Muddat hui Khud apna pata dhoondh rahey hain


How weird are these relations of pain!!! The far you go, closer they get. May be that's why, they say" distance makes hearts grow fonder. "

Dil ke rishtey ajeeb hotey hain
Door reh kar Qareeb hotey hain

Hey, don't ever tell people why we don't like to see each other now. I'll tell them that we just don't have time.

Tum tark-e-ta'luq ka kaheen Ziker na karna
Mein laugon sey keh doon ga ke Fursat nahin milti


So you are leaving me? Alright, but atleast you could tell some cause so that I could tell those who'll ask.

Koi sawaal jo poochey tou kya kahoon Uss sey
Bicharney waaley sabab tou bata Judaai ka


What could we do? No matter how hard we try to hide our feelings, our actions, our expressions, the way we turn again and again (Murna) to see you, always show everything.

Tum sey Juda huey tou kissi ko khabar Na thi
Mur... Mur ke dekhney Humein bud-naam kar gaya


Last years, we were praying to get you and this year?

Pichley baras yeh darr tha.... Tujhey kho na doon kaheen
       Ab ke baras Dua hai .......Tera saamna Na ho


Don't treat anyone like a toy. Most toys have a tendency to break very easily.

Haathon mein Tairey tha jo Khilona sa aik Shakhs
Aik roz gir ke toot gaya rakh rakhaao mein


We loose those whom we have found. So when we never ever found you, what's the question of losing you?

Agar woh mil ke bicharta tou koi baat bhi thi
Jiss ko paaya hi nahin tha Ussey khona kaisa?


More closer the relations are, greater painful is the separation.

Judaaiyaa'n hon Aisi ke Umer bhar na milein
Faraib do tou zara Silsiley barha ke Mujhey

 

~       Uss ko chaaha bhi tou Izhaar na karna aaya       
      Lut gaaey hum , magar Pyaar na karna aaya     
     Uss ne maanga bhi tou hum se, Judaai maangi   
      Aur hum thay , humein Inkaar na karna aaya

Love

dulhannn.jpg (47141 bytes)

Hasrat hai ke Unn ko kabhi nazdeek sey dekhein
Nazdeek  hon  tou  Aankh  uthaai  nahin  jaati
Chaahat pe kabhi bus nahin chalta hai kissi ka
Lag jaati  hai  yeh  Aag, lagaai  nahin  jaati


Love teaches you a big lesson, modifies you, moulds you, makes you straight.

Iqbal... Ishq ne Merey, sab Bal diyey Nikaal
Muddat sey Aarzoo thi ke Seedha karey Koi


Some people say, there should be no ego in love. And to some extent it's true too. As occasionally, strong, un-bending egos could be really fatal for relationships.

Uss ki khushi azeez thi, kuch Uss sey pyaar tha
Apni "ana"  ko tor ke jhukna para Mujhey


That's why keep all doors open for those who loved you once but now are far away due to some reasons. As true love might come back at any time, from any direction.(simt)

Jaaney kiss Raah sey aa jaaey woh aaney wala
Mein ne hur simt sey deewaar gira rakhi hai


Not every heart deserves love.There're some special hearts specific ( Makhsoos ) for love. Is it true?

Mohabbat ke liyey kuch khaas Dil makhsoos hotey hain
Yeh woh naghma hai, jo hur saaz pe gaaya nahin jaata


Is confession of love a sin? If yes, then what difference does it make? They say, I'm already a sinner.

Kya bura hai ke Mein Iqraar-e-Mohabbat kar loon
Loug waisey bhi tou kehtey hain Gunah-gaar Mujhey


There are those special people who seem to know the exact way to go straight to your heart.

Aik Shaksh iss tarah Merey Dil mein utar gaya
Jaisey woh jaanta tha Merey Dil ke raastey


Love makes you cry. Love makes you smile.

Mohabbat mein aisey zamaaney bhi aaey
kabhi ro diyey Hum, Kabhi Muskuraaey


A real, true love is a holy, spiritual feeling, a worship. That's why we should not expect and need physical presence for that. As true worships don't need  physical nearness ( Qurb ) or presence of what you worship. Do they?

Mohabbat Bundagee hai, Iss mein Tun ka Qurb mat maango
Ke jiss ko chhoo liya jaaey, Ussey Pooja nahin kartey


Some people believe that love demands you to close your eyes and obey whatever your beloved says. They say respect and trust are the basis of love, and if you really trust your love, you won't hesitate in taking any decision.

Wafa mein ab yeh hunar ikhteyaar karna hai
Woh sach kahey na kahey, Aetebaar karna hai


Is it always necessary to confess or express ( Izhaar ) your feelings?

Kuch zuroori tou nahin Izhaar-e-Mohabbat aey dost
Shama khamosh jala karti hai parwaanon mein


Many times, he / she wants " you " to confess you love first. But your ego, your " ana " just doesn't permit you to beg for that.

Unhein yeh Zid ke Mohabbat ki bheek Mein maangoon
Mujhey yeh zid ke Taqaaza Mera usool nahin


Some people are very funny. They take feelings like " tasks ". Yes, for them, love or hatred is just like another job. But they do take these jobs seriously, and whatever the job is, they perform it efficiently. They thave a wonderful control over themselves. Forgetting about the bad past, they always think about the better future.

Palat kar Aankh Num karna, Mujhey hurgiz nahin aata
Gaey lamhon ka ghum karna Mujhey hurgiz nahin aata
Mohabbat ho tou be-had ho, Nafrat ho tou be-payaa'n
Koi bhi kaam kum karna, Mujhey hurgiz nahin aata


Love is considered as a crime in some surroundings. And they even punish you for that.

Yoon jurm-e-Mohabbat ki saza deti hai dunia
Hanstey huey chehron ko rula deti hai dunia

~    Ishq ko Jurm samjhtay hain Zamaaney waaley
Jo yahaan Pyaar karey ga woh Saza paaey ga

~      Pyaar, Mohabbat Khail Tamaasha sab kuch dhoka hota hai
        Sach kehta hoon maan lo kehna, kaun kissi ka hota hai

Muskurahat ( Smile )

Muskura  ke   Mila karo   Hum  sey
Kuch kaha, kuch suna karo Hum sey
Baat karney sey baat barhti hai
Roz baatein kiya karo Hum sey


A few people have this wonderful smile which enables them to have profound effects on others.

Aankhon mein jitney Ashk thay Jugnoo sey bun gaey
Woh muskuraaya, aur Meri Duniya badal gaya


Smile, if meaningful, is an strong indicator of inner feelings.

Jawaab soch ke Dil mein Woh muskuraatey hain
Abhi Zubaan par Meri sawaal bhi tou na tha


~    Mast nazaron se dekh lena tha
    agar tamanna thi aazmaane ki
   Hum to behosh yoon hi ho jaatey
   kiya zaroorat thi muskuraaney ki

~      Hujoom-e-Ghum meri haalat badal nahin sakta
    Mein kiya karoon, Mujhey aadat hai muskuraney ki

Zulfein ( Hairs )

Hairs, one of the most important part of one's apparent personality. They are beauty, attraction and they are woman's wealth. That's why not everyone should have right to judge them and pass remarks on them. Girls of eastern origin shouldn't feel complex for their hair as dyed hair can never attain the real, original beauty of sheer black hair.

Zulfein Raaton see hain, Rangat hai Ujaalon jaisi
Par tabiyat hai wohi bhoolney waalon jaisi


Don't search for similarities between her hair and life.

           Toou ne chaira tou yeh kuch aur bikhar jaaey gee   
       Zindagi Zulf nahin hai jo sanwar jaaey gee    

 

Some more about hairs.

~           Apni Zulfein sanwaar le warna....         
            Meri Hasti.... ulajh bhi sakti hai            

~              Uljha hai Paa'on Yaar ka, Zulf-e-daraaz Mein                  
                  Lo, Aap apney daam mein Saiyaad Aa gaya                 

~              Uss Zulf ke Kya kehney, jo dosh pe Lehraaey                
               Simtey tou buney Naagun, Bikhrey tou Ghata chaaey              

~             Iss   Zulf-e-pareshaa'n   ko   sanbhaalo warna                   
                Hum hai Gustaakh..... issey choom liya kartey hain                   

~            Kitney hi ghanerey hon Teri Zulf ke Saaey                    
             Aik raat Mein sadiyon ki thakan Kum nahin hoti                 

~          Kar ke Ghayal Mujhey...Uss ka bhi bura haal hua            
             Uski Zulfein bhi na "suljheen" Meri " Uljhan" ki tarah            

~        Choom leti hein kabhi lab, tou kabhi rukhsaar ko           
          Tum ne zulfon ko bara sur pe charha rakha hai

Chaand Raat aur EID

eid-larki.jpg (92966 bytes)

Poocha Jo UNN Se Chaand Nikalta hai kiss tarha?
Zulfon ko rukh pe daal ke jhatka diya ke YOON


Bangles, bracelets, fancy dresses, Mehndi, Moon night of Eid and Love. Wow. What a combination.

Din bhar khafa thi Mujh sey magar chaand raat ko
Mehndi sey Mera naam likha Uss ne haath par


~      Rukay tou Chaand, chaley tou hawaaon jaisa hai
       Woh Shakhs dhoop mein dekho tou Chhaa'on jaisa hai

~      Kabhi kabhi tou woh iss Dilkashi sey miltey hain
        Ke jaisey Chaand nikalta hai Intezaar ke baad


There are so many lakes, so many rivers and yet they show the same, single image of the same moon. Similarly, no matter how many the mirrors are, you'll be the same in everyone.

Chaand badla hai kaheen Jheel badal jaaney sey?
      Aaaina koi bhi ho, Aks Tumhaara ho ga

And yet, some are angry even on Eid Day?

      Eid ka din hai, galey aaj to mil le zaalim
rasm-e-duniya bhi hai, mauqa bhi hai, dastoor bhi hai

Anger (Naaraazgi)

Chehrey pe banaawat ka Ghussa
Aankhon se chhalakta pyaar bhi hai
Iss shauq-e-ada ko kiya kahiyey
Inkaar bhi hai Iqraar bhi hai


Anger, if of beloved's, then may look cute.

Hum na hongey tou kaho kaun manaaey ga Tumhein?
Yeh buri baat hai........ hur baat pe rootha na Karo

Aap burhum hi sahi, Baat tou kar lein Hum sey
Kuch na kehney sey Mohabbat ka gumaa'n hota hai

Ghussey mein jo nikhra hai Uss Husn ka kya kehna
Kuch dair abhi Hum sey, Tum yoonhi khafa rehna

Rain ( Barsaat )

 

Some wet ones.....

~        Inn Baarishon sey Dosti Achi nahin Faraaz
       Kacha Tera makaan hai, Kuch tou khayaal kar

~       Be-sabab Aankh sey ab Ashk umad aaey hain
        Hum ko be-waqt ki barsaat sey darr lagta hai

~      Maza barsaat ka chaaho tou meri Aankhon mein aa baitho
       Woh barson mein barsti hai, " yeh" barson sey barasti hain

Lessons ( Sabaq )

Baat kirdaar ki hoti hai wagarna "Arif"
Qad mein insaan se saaya bhi bada hota hai


Do see the dreams. That's what dreams are for, " to see", but not to " live in"

Khawaab hotey hain dekhney ke liyey
Inn mein jaa kar magar Raha na karo


Truly beautiful people don't need artificial make-up. Their simplicity is their most distinctive feature.

Husn waalon ko sanwarney ki zuroorat kya hai
Saadgi mein bhi Qayamat ki Ada hoti hai


So what if books are expensive, you can always read faces.

Fitrat ne jo likhey hain woh Katbay parha karo
Mehngi hain gar Kitaabein tou chehray parha karo


Don't go for apparent beauty. Snakes are very beautiful in features as far as their " skin" is concerned. But inside, they have nothing but poison.

Haseen  Saanp   ke naqsh-o-nigaar khoob   sahi
Nigaah Zeher pe rakh, Khush-numa badan pe na ja

 

And still, most people judge you through your appearnce

Ander ke mailey pun ka miley kiss tarha Suraagh
  Andaaza loug kartey hain ujley Libaas se


Our behaviours, way of living, way to talk, act and speak should be a model example for the society.

Aisey raha karo ke karein Laug Aarzoo
Aisa chilan chalo ke Zamaana misaal dey

 

Only the veil of pure love can cover the naked ( Barhana ) hatred.

Dhaanpey jo Nafraton ke barhana wajood ko
Aisi bhi koi Pyaar ki chaadar talaash kar

 

A harsh one.....

Auron ke liyey Pyaar ka Jazba nahin jinn mein
Woh laug kabhi Pyaar ke Qaabil nahin hotay

 

Unity is strength.

Humesha Mil key rehney kay nateejey naik hotey hain
Waheenpar Lutf aata hai jahaan sab Aik hotey hain


Some people don't look  precious even if they wear silk. On the other hand, even rough cotton looks expensive on some people.

Reshum pehen key bhi Meri, Qeemat na barh saki
Khaddar bhi  Uss ke Jisem par Mehnga buhut laga


In a happy eye, leave some place for tears too as bad times never ask before coming.

Khushi ki Aankh mein Aansoo ki jagaah bhi rakhna
Burey zamaaney kabhi pooch kar nahin aatey


A beautiful but sad one..... Don't go yet, as it's still raining. Wait until I stop my tears.

Aansoo Merey thum jaaein tou phir shauq sey jaana
Aisey mein kahaan jao gey, Barsaat buhut hai
