ye na thii hamaarii qismat ke visaal-e-yaar hotaa


Few of the lines from this nazam are my FB status from few days. Just noticed it was missing from my blog, here it is one of my fav by Asad. Love you Ghalib...


Ye na thii hamaarii qismat ke visaal-e-yaar hotaa
agar aur jiite rahate yahii intazaar hotaa

tere vaade par jiye ham to ye jaan jhuuTh jaanaa
ke Khushii se mar na jaate agar aitabaar hotaa

terii naazukii se jaanaa ki ba.Ndhaa thaa ahd_bodaa
kabhii tuu na to.D sakataa agar ustavaar hotaa

[ahd=oath, ustavaar=firm/determined ]

koii mere dil se puuchhe tere tiir-e-niimakash ko
ye Khalish kahaa.N se hotii jo jigar ke paar hotaa

[tiir-e-niimkash=half drawn arrow, Khalish=pain ]

ye kahaa.N kii dostii hai ke bane hai.n dost naaseh
koii chaaraasaaz hotaa, koii Gam_gusaar hotaa

[naaseh=councellor, chaarasaaz=healer, Gamgusaar=sympathizer]

rag-e-sang se Tapakataa wo lahuu ki phir na thamataa
jise Gam samajh rahe ho ye agar sharaar hotaa

[rag=nerve, sang=stone, sharaar=flash]

Gam agarche jaa.N_gusil hai, pe kahaa.N bache.n ke dil hai
Gam-e-ishq gar na hotaa, Gam-e-rozagaar hotaa

[jaa.N_gulis=life threatning ]

kahuu.N kis se mai.n ke kyaa hai, shab-e-Gam burii balaa hai
mujhe kyaa buraa thaa maranaa agar ek baar hotaa

hue mar ke ham jo rusavaa, hue kyo.N na Garq-e-dariyaa
na kabhii janaazaa uThataa, na kahii.n mazaar hotaa

[Garq=drown/sink ]

use kaun dekh sakataa ki yaganaa hai wo yaktaa
jo duii kii buu bhii hotii to kahii.n do chaar hotaa

[yaganaa=kinsman, yaktaa=matchless/incomparable, duii=duality ]
