Jaaiye

Hi All,

Sorry for infrequent update/posting.... but will get progressively bad I am sure...

Sher for today,

I don't know the shaayer for this sher... but my guess is it must be Qateel Shifai...

sher is,

Naaraz hai to jaaiye lekin yeh shart hai
Hum se na boliye to kisi se na boliye.

The beauty of this sher is the honesty with which poet has told possesiveness and jealousy he feels when his lover is talking or interacting with someone else... He is candid about his feeling and it is a beautiful expression of love/passion/possesiveness. I can't think of any better way to tell that.. it is simple, basic and clear as it can be...

Majrooh

Hi All,

It is not a very known fact but lyricist majrooh was an excellent poet also (in the true sense of the word).

So today, one of his sher for you.

Mili jab unse nazar bas raha tha ek jahaan
Hati nigah to charo taraf the veerane

by Majrooh Sultanpuri

The sher beautifully brings out the dependence of aashiq's world simply on mashooq's eye contact. Even that mere contact brings upon a torrent of imagination in his heart where he setups his whole world and without her all he sees is space/zero

After a long time

Hi All,

First Avenues then exams and finally tiring, endless PPTs.... but I am back..... Zindagi se bhaag kar aaya hoon mein...


The sher today is, to start with simple and easy.... the meter of ghazal is very short

Yeh aalam shauq ka dekha na jaye
Woh buut hai ya khuda dekha na jaye

Yeh kin nazron se tune aaj dekha
Ki tera dekhna dekha na jaye

by Faraz Ahmed

Glossary
Aalam : Situation/Condition
Shauq : Passion, Interest, Love
Buut : Statue (Hard and beautiful at the same time)
