aadaab, dosto!

ek taazah Ghazal haazir-e-Khidmat hai. mulaahizah farmaaiye aur apnii raae se navaaziye.

Ghazal

yahaaN par chain kyaa, aaraam kyaa hai
bhalaa dunyaa meN in kaa kaam kyaa hai

bahaanaa hai bashar ke imtihaaN kaa
vagarnaa gardish-e-ayyaam kyaa hai

pareshaaN zihn aur bikhraa huaa ghar
husuul-e-maal kaa anjaam kyaa hai!

samajhnaa chaahiye insaaN ko ab to
ki aaKhir vaqt kaa paiGhaam kyaa hai

mire aage kahaaN aayaa vuh, saaqii
maiN kyaa jaanuuN Khushii kaa jaam kyaa hai

isii ko kehte haiN kyaa ishq, ai dil
yih bechainii sii sub'h-o-shaam kyaa hai?

divaanapan sazaa-e-ishq hai Khud
junuuN vaaloN pe ab ilzaam kyaa hai!

ye kehte kehte aa pahuNchaa kahaaN maiN
ki raah-e-ishq meN ik gaam kyaa hai

badal Daalii mirii taqdeer jis ne
na puuchho vuh Khayaal-e-Khaam kyaa hai

ziyaadah se ziyaadah chaNd sikke
mataa-e-fan kaa :Abid: daam kyaa hai

niyaazmand,
Irfan :Abid:

aadaab, Irfan sahib,

aap kii ghazal maiN ne chand roz qabl paRh lii thi, lekin kaam kii masruufiyat thi so javaab likhne meN zaraa taaKhiir ho gayi. daad qubuul kiijiye.

> Ghazal

Irfan sahib, aap ki yeh ghazal mujhe aap ke diigar taazah kalaam se zara alag lagi. is meN har sh'er ek 'independent thouhgt' rakhtaa hai, aur ruk kar sochne par majbuur kartaa hai. Nice. Thanks.

in kaa kaam to bahut hai, lekin yeh aaj kal zaraa kam kam hii nasiib hote haiN. :)

Too much testing!

Irfan sahib, yeh voh she'r hai jo ek baar paRhne par mujhe yaad ho gaya thaa, aur pichhle ek hafte se mere zehn meN ghuum rahaa hai. Every time I go into my closet, I think, too many shoes, too many purses, too much of everything. I quit counting after 60 shoes and 30 purses! Oh and who can use over 50 lipsticks, especially on perpetually masked lips?!
All right sir, your she'r got me thinking, it is 'Fall cleaning' time! :-)

See, what unexpected good your poetry is doing! :-))

> samajhnaa chaahiye insaaN ko ab to

Trying to understand.

Your 'vuh' again! It took me a few seconds to absorb that this time around it is 'Khushii kaa jaam'. Irfan sahib, this is the third time it has happened to me while reading your recent kalaam. Is it just me, or is this something to think about??

> isii ko kehte haiN kyaa ishq, ai dil

Not necessarily, could be something totally unrelated! :-)

> divaanapan sazaa-e-ishq hai Khud

Interesting.

> ye kehte kehte aa pahuNchaa kahaaN maiN

Yup, one milestone at a time.
There is no 'manzil', so enjoy the journey. :)

> badal Daalii mirii taqdeer jis ne

I will ask. 'vuh' kyaa hai Irfan sahib?

> ziyaadah se ziyaadah chaNd sikke

Well, the real 'daam' is 'daad', jo ek baar phir haazir hai, qubuul kiijiye.

Thanks Irfan sahib for keeping the group alive. It is particularly slow these days and your participation is even more valuable than usual.

As long as the unintended consequences are positive, I am fine. :)

You are at least trying. Some people don't even try. :)

If you keep the context in mind, things might be a little clearer to you. If 'vuh' is the only subject mentioned and the she'r doesn't further elaborate it, chances are it refers to the mehboob/ma'shooq. That's not the case here. The meaning of the she'r is 'how can I tell what what happiness feels like when I never experienced it (vuh.)'

For those suffering from high blood pressure, may be. :)

Not sure if you got the meaning so please let me elaborate. What's being said is 'I didn't see much risk in taking just one step on this path, but see where I am now!'

Some things are prettier when they are hidden. :)
