Carrying on

Hi,

Carrying on the same theme of conversation,

A sher which is very apt and fits in beautifully with the situation. This will be understood best by someone newly in love and doesn't know what to talk about....

the sher is,

Woh ek baat jo maujoo-e-guftagoo ban ti
Mile jo aap to kambakht yaad hi na rahi
by Raza Naqvi

Maujoo-e-guftagu: Topic of conversation

Guft Gu

Hi All,

Enough of this Arrival Theme... now today starting new topic Guft Gu, which means Converstation.
Guft gu comes from word Gufta: which means Sentence or Statement

The sher is very imaginative and shows the heights a poet
can go to... the sher is

Gul-o-guncha asal mein hai teri guftgu ki shaklein
kabhi khul ke baat kah di kabhi kar diya ishara
by Salaam Sandelvi

Gul-o-guncha: Flower and Blossom
Shaklein : Faces or Facets

Aa Bhi Ja

Hi All,

Sher-e-day is now searchable from Google Search also..... :)

With the same theme of His/Her Coming....

This is a very good sher... very simple but captures the emotions aptly.. it is one of those shers.. which are very small and simple and say a lot in few words

the sher is:
Yeh kah kah ke hum dil ko bahla rahe hai
Woh ab chal chuke hai woh ab aa rahe hai
-by don't remember
