Doosri Baar Bhi Hoti To Tumhi Se Hoti

Doosri Baar Bhi Hoti To Tumhi Se Hoti

Main Jo Bil-Farz Muhabbat Dobara Karta...

Sitam Ko Humne Berukhi Samjha

Sitam Ko Humne Berukhi Samjha,
Pyaar Ko Humne Bandagi Samjha,
Tum Chaahe Hume Jo Bhi Samjho,
Humne To Tumhe Apni Zindagi Samjha

Kiran Ko Aatii Huii Subhon Ke Hawale

Iss Apnii Kiran Ko Aatii Huii Subhon Ke Hawale Kerna Hai
Kaanton Se Ulajh Ker Jiina Hai Phuulon Se Lipat Ker Marna Hai

Shayad Wo Zamana Laut Aaye , Shayad Wo Palat Ker Dekh Bhii Lain
Inn Ujrri Ujrri Nazron Main Phir Koii Fasana Bharna Hai

Ye Soz-E-Daruun Ye Ashk-E-Rawaan Ye Kaawish-E-Hastii Kya Kahiiye
Marte Hain Ke Kuchh Din Jii Lain Ham, Jiite Hain Ke Aakhir Marna Hai

Ik Shahar-E-Wafaa Ke Band Dareeche Aankhain Meeche Sochte Hain
Kab Qaafla-Haaye Khandaa-E-Gul Ko Inn Raahon Se Guzarna Hai

Raston Pe Aandhere Phail Gaye , Ik Manzil-E-Gham Tak Shaam Huii
Aey Hamsafro ! Kyaa Faisla Hai Ab Chalna Hai Ke Thaherna Hai ?

Her Haal Main Ik Shoreedgii , Afsoon-E-Tamana Baaqii Hai
Khawabon Ke Bhanwar Main Beh Ker Bhii Khawabon Ke Ghaatt Utarna Hai

Tabiyat in dinon begana-e-gam hoti jati hai – Jigar Moradabadi

Tabiyat in dinon begana-e-gam hoti jati hai
mere hisse ke goya har khushi kam hotii jati hai
wohi hai shahid-o-saqi, magar dil bujhata jata hai
wohi hai shamma lekin roshani kam hoti jati hai
qayamat kya ye ae husn-e-do aalam hoti jati hai
ke mahafil to wahi hai, dilkashi kam hoti jati hai
wohi maikhana-o-sahaba, wohi sagar wahi shisha
magar aavaz-e-noshanosh maddham hoti jati hai
wohi hai zindagi lekin ‘jigar’ ye hal hai apna
ke jaise zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jati hai

Poet of the Poem /  Ghazal or Nazam: Jigar Moradabadi

Ye tabiyat hai to khud aazar ban jayenge hum – Ahmed Faraz

Ye tabiyat hai to khud aazar ban jayenge hum
charagar royenge aur gamkhvar ban jayenge hum
hum sar-e-chak-e-vafa hain aur tera dast-e-hunar
jo bana dega hamen ae yar ban jayenge hum
kya khabar thi ae nigar-e-sher tere ishq mein
dilbaran-e-shahar ke dildar ban jayenge hum
sakht jan hain par hamari ustavari par na ja
aise tutenge tera iqarar ban jayenge hum
aur kuch din baithane do ku-e-janan mein hamen
rafta rafta saya-e-divar ban jayenge hum
is qadar aasan na hogi har kisi se dosti
aashnai mein tera mayar ban jayenge hum
mir-o-galib kya ke ban paye nahi faiz-o-firaq
zam ye tha rumi-o-atar ban jayenge hum
dekhane mein shakh-e-gul lagate hain lekin dekhana
dast-e-gulchin ke liye talvar ban jayenge hum
hum chiragon ko to tariki se ladana hai ‘faraz’
gul hue par subah ke aasar ban jayenge hum

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Ahmed Faraz

Love has never been about the genes

Love has never been about the genes,
But about beauty, and unforgiving grace.
The wolf that suckled Romulus and Remus
Had nothing in her heart but wrenching joy.
Oh, yes, of course, love also is a means,
Serving the survival of the race.
But more, it is a longing that redeems us,
An end itself no ending can destroy.

And so it is with mothers who love children
Not of their flesh, but of their nurturing.
The origin fades, the years of love remain
Vivid in the background of a life.

For Rome, the wolf will always be its kindred,
Ancestor who took fate’s offering
And made it hers through sacrifice and pain,
The legacy that would her long days light

Mujhe Aaj Bhi Yaad Hai Wo Sardiyon Ki Shaam - Sad Lines

Urdu Sad Lines

Mujhe Aaj Bhi Yaad Hai Wo Sardiyon Ki Shaam, Jab Usne
Mera Haath Pakra Aur Meri aankhon Mein Dekh Kar Kaha,
”Aap Ke Haath Bohat Garam Hain, Aur Ye Wafa nibhane
Walon ki Nishani Hai..”
Mein Bohat Khush ha, Itna Khush Ke Ye bhi Bhool Gaya Keh
Us Shaam us ke Haath Kitne Sard They…… :(
