Dost ban kar bhii nahii.n saath nibhaanevaalaa

Its either that every broken heart thinks alike or its that Faraz was one person who had those feelings which I carry now and with his skills he could put them in such wonderful words...

I relate to most of his creations, but few are so close to your heart that they need special mention. where U can relate to each and evry line.. In Gazal or nazams of other people on this blog i normally highlight the shers which are directly related to me or most suited on me but I believe this complete ghazal from start to end is written with the feelings I carrry ..

Dhanyawad Ahmed Faraz Sahab.

Mana tere bina meri zindagi adhoori hai

Rhymed few of these lines while driving to office today.. Decided to complete it .. Outcome is as below.. Do leave your comments suggestions :


Mana tere bina meri zindagi adhoori hai ..
Per jane se tere mujhe jeene ka maksad mil gaya…

Mana ke hun akela iss dharti gagan mein.
Per teri judai mein khud mein hi ek sathi mil gaya..

Sang reh ke tune khuli aahkon se sapne itne dikhlaye.
Ki Ab apni aankhon ne neend ko hi bhula diya..

Acha kiya sanam Dhoke se hi sahi.
Ki khoye the tere pyar mein humko jaga diya..

Tere jane ke baad hi maine jeena seekha hai.
Jab sath tha tere to main nashe mein tha..

Utri hai barson ki chadi hui ankhon se ab.
Pehle hosh mein bhi tha to main mehkade mein tha..

Teri bewafai pe bhi yeh pagal dil “Divay”.
Nazar bhar ke tujhe duawein deta hai..

Raat baki hai Chand, ki abhi na bhuj.
Woh jahan bhi hai tumhe aaj bhi dekhta hai..

Tum se hi - Jab we met

One of my fav song from one of my fav movie....


Na hai yeh pana
Na Khona hi hai
Tera Na hona jaane
Kyun hona hi hai

Tum se hi din hota hai
Surmaiye shaam aati
Tumse hi tumse hi

Har ghadi saans aati hai
Zindagi kehlati hai
Tumse hi tumse hi

Na hai yeh pana
Na Khona hi hai
Tera Na hona jaane
Kyun hona hi hai

Aankhon mein ankhne teri
Bahoon mein baahein teri
Mera na mujhme kuch raha hua kya
Baaton mein baatein teri
Raatein saugatein teri
Kyun tera sab yeh ho gaya
hua kya
Mein kahin bhi jata hoon
Tumse hi mil jata hoon
Tumse hi tumse hi

Shoor mein khamoshi hai
Thodi se Behoshi hai
Tum se hi tum se hi

Aadha sa wada kabhi
Aadhe se jayada kabhi
Jee chahe karlu is trah wafa ka
Chode na chote kabhi
Tode na tute kabhi
Jo dhaga tumse jud gaya wafa ka

Mein Tera sharmaya hoon
Jo mein ban paya hoon
Tumse hi tumse hi
Raste miljate hai
Manzile miljati hai
Tumse hi tumse hi

Na hai yeh pana
Na Khona hi hai
Tera Na hona jaane
Kyun hona hi hai

Shayad : Divay Gupta

Another original after quite a few days. Have written few more in between, but didnt find them as suitable and appropriate to share.Thema and mood even in this one is gloomy as it came out last night when I was feeling low :(. Now when I read this poem again I kind of liked it and hence decided to share with you all...

Don't forget to leave comments,feedback once you read this... :P

SHAYAD

Tujhe Dhoonda to Kahin Nazar Aayi nahin,

Mere Karib hai tu Itni Shayad !1!

Raat Kat Jati hai par Neend Aati Nahin

Sote Sote meri aakhen thak gayi hai Shayad !2!

Judai teri Vish si hai Sang mere

Yeh bhi naa rahi to Jee bhi na sakun main Shayad !3!

Meri aakhon se Ojhal sahi, Dil se Ojhal hona nahin,

Tere vicharon ke bina Mar bhi na sakun main Shayad !4!

Andhere mein Diya – salai si hai teri yadein,

Na ho Yeh to ujaale ki umeed bhi na ho Shayad !5!

Tilism teri aakhon ka chamakta hai roz mere aage,

Tera juda hona bhi koi Jadu hi na ho Shayad !6!

Kya hua jo tune Judai maang li,

Itna begairat bhi nahin ki de na sakun who bhi Shayad !7!

Payar mera Taron sa tim-timata tha Kabhi,

Tuta tara bhi to ek Murad puri karta hai Shayad !8!

Tere jane ke badd bhi jee to rahein hain

Per yeh saansen Udhuri hi hai Shayad!9!

Tute taar ke Gitar si hai Jindagi meri

Dhun to aati hai par Besuri hai Shayad !10!

Tera sath jo lata tha pal pal ki khushi

Tera duur jana bhi meri Khushi ke liye ho Shyaad!11!

Khush hai tu, Jaan ke Khush Bahut hai ‘DIVAY’

Na sambhli yeh Khushi to Bora na Jaun main Shayad !12!

Tujhe Dhoonda to kahin Nazar Aayi nahin,

Mere Karib hai tu Itni Shayad !1!

Waiting for Tonight - Jennifer Lopez

Li'l story Attached with the Song..: it was Feb 2003 ( around 9th ) First day of our University fest and we were in group of 5-6 dancing like mads and DJ(Sumit if I am not wrong ) played this song and she offered her hand to me for the very first time for dance with her.. yeah and Shy me didnt have guts to hold it and dance.. trust me way back in 2003 to dance with a girl hand in hand .. Naah .. And see me today ( ok read it " U must have seen me till 3 months back).. anyways back to story.. so she offered and I didnt dare hold and dance.. then she offered her hand to some other guy ( name intentionally not written, who happened to be from different section but dancing with us for some reason ) and he held and they started dancing .. and that is when I first realized what is jealousy.. :P.. and may be that was the reason I dropped my shyness atleast for dances and didnt look back for Long.. :)

Back to lyrics of this song....

Like a movie scene
In the sweetest dreams
I have pictured us together
Now to feel your lips
On my fingertips
I have to say is even better
Then I ever thought it could possibly be
It's perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free
From all of my sadness
The tears that I've cried
I have spent all of my life

CHORUS:
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight

Tender words you say
Take my breath away
Love me now, leave me never
Found a sacred place
Lost in your embrace
I want to stay in this forever
I think of the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart, all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning
Emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on

CHORUS (2x)

Gone are the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning
Emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on

CHORUS (3x)

Waiting for tonight, Oh
