Request for a nazm by Josh
sal...@my-dejanews.com
Paiwast hay jo dil maiN, vo teer khainchta hooN
ik rail kay safar ki tasweer khainchta hooN
GaDi maiN gungunata masroor ja raha tha
ajmair ki taraf say jaipoor ja raha tha
This nazm goes on to describe the envirnment in an unbelieveably picturesque
way until the train stops and Josh Sahib's eyes lay upon a lass that he
describes as follows:
HooraiN hazar dil say qurban hogayeeN theeN
rangeeniaN simat kar insaan hogayeeN theeN
The poem ends melodramatically
PatDi chamak rahi thee, gaDi gujar chuki thee
I wish someone could post this gem.

I came across this ghazal in a collection. It is rather long, about 60
ash'aar. It will be quite a task reading it in the Latin script, not to
mention writing it. But if there is a general interest, I'll post it.
Otherwise, Saleem Sahib, send me your postal address by email, and I'll send
you a photocopy. The title of the poem is "Jungle ki shahzaadi", and 15 of
the ash'aar are almost entirely made up of adjectives describing the
"shahzaadi", with very few other words. What a vocabulary! Jamil Ahmad.

ALUP, if it is not too inconvenient. In this way everyone interested can also
read and enjoy it.

Here is the nazm , which Saleem Sahib had asked for. I can post the meanings
of words if anyone needs them. Sorry if my transliteration does not follow
consistent rules.

JUNGLE KI SHAHZAADI
by Josh Maleehabadi
Paivast hai jo dil wuh teer khainchta hoon]
Ik rail ke safar ki tasweer khainchta hoon
GaRi men gungunaata masroor ja raha tha
Ajmer ki taraf se jaipoor ja raha tha
Tezi se junglon men yoon rail ja rahi thi
Laila sitar apna goya baja rahi thi
Khursheed chhup raha tha rangeen pahaReeon men
Taa'oos par samaite baithey they jhaReeon men
Kuchh door par tha paani maujain rukee hui theen
Taalaab ke kinaarey shaakhen jhukee hui theen
Lehron men koi jaisey dil ko dabo rahaa tha
Main so rahaa hoon aisa mehsoos ho raha tha
Ik mauj kaif parwar dil se guzar rahee thee
Har cheez dilbaree se yoon raqs kar rahee thee
Theen rukhsati kiran se sab daalian sunehree
Naagaah chalte chalte jungle men rail thehri
Kaanton peh khoobsoorat ik baansri paRi hai
Dekha keh aik laRki maidaan men khaRi hai
Zaahid fareb, gul rukh, kaafir daraaz mizhgaan
Semeen badan, paree rukh, naukhaiz, hashr saamaan
Khush chashm, khoobsoorat, khush waza, mah paikar
Naazak badan, shakar lab, sheereen adaa, fasoon gar
Kaafir adaa, shagufta gul pairhan, saman boo
Sarve chaman, sahee qad, rangeen jamaal khushroo
Gaisoo kamand, mahwash, kaafoor faam qaatil
Nazzara soz, dilkash, sarmast, shama mehfil
Abroo hilaal, mai goon, jaan bakhsh rooh parwar
Nasreen badan, pari rukh, seemeen 'azaar dilbar
Aahoo nigaah, nauras, gulgoon, behesht seema
Yaaqoot lab, sadaf goon, sheereen, buland baala
Gharatgar-e-tahammul, dilsoz dushman-e-jaan
Parwarda-e-manaazar, dosheeza-e-biyaabaan
Gulshan farogh, kamsin, makhmoor, maah paara
Dibar keh dar kaf-e-oo mom ast sang-e-khara
Har baat aik afsoon, har saans aik jaadoo
Qudsi fareb mizhgaan, yazdaan shikaar gaisoo
Sahraa ki zeb-o-zeenat, fitrat ki noor-e-deedah
Barsaat ke mulaayam taaron ki aafreedah
Chehre peh rang-e-tamkeen, aankhon men beqaraari
Eemaa-e-seena kobi, farmaan-e-baada khaari
Loha tapaane waali jalwon ki zofishaani
Sikke bithaane waali uthti hui jawaani
Doobe huey sab e'zaa husn-e-munasabat men
Paali hui gulon ke aaghosh-e-tarbeeat men
Husn-e-azal hai ghaltaan shaadab pankhRi men
Ya jaan paR gayee hai jungle ki taazgi men
Hoorain hazaar dil se qurbaan ho gayee hain
Rangeeneean simat kar insaan ho gayee hain
Cheen-e-sitamgari se naa aashna jabeen hai
Main kon hoon yeh isko ma'loom hee naheen hai
Har cheez par nigaahen hairat se daalti hai
Reh reh ke uRne waali chaadar sambhaalti hai
Aanchal sambhaalne men yoon bal se khaa rahi hai
Goyaa theher theher kar angRaaee aa rahi hai
Kuchh der tak to main ne usko baghor dekha
Ghash khaa rahi thi uqba, chakraa rahi thi dunya
GaRi se phir utar kar uske qareeb aaya
Toofaan-e-bekhudi men phir yeh zabaan se nikla
Ai dars-e-aadmiyat, ai shaa'iri ki jannat
Ai saana-e-azal ki naazak tareen san'at
Ai rooh-e-sanf-e-nazak ai shama bazm-e-aalam
Ai subh-e-roo-e-khandaan ai shaam-e-zulf-e-barham
Ai too keh tairi naazak hastee jis kaam aai [Something is wrong here. The
Qudrat ki intahaai takhyil-e-dilrubaai first line is out of behr.]
Chashm-o-chiragh-e-sahraa ai noor-e-dasht-e-waadi
Rangeen jamaal devi, jungle ki shahzaadi
Basti men too jo aaey ik hashr sa bapa ho
Aabaadion men halchal shehron men ghughula ho
Rindaan-e-baada kash ke haathon se jaam chhuten
Tasbeeh-e-shaikh uljhey tauba ke azm tooten
Nazron se itteqaa ke rasm-o-rawaaj utren
Zuhhad ke 'amame, shaahon ke taaj utren
Aankhen hon ashk afshaan naale sharar fashaan hon
Kia kia na shaa'iron ke malboos dhajjian hon
Shehron ke mahwashon par ik aasmaan tootey
Parwardah-e-tamaddun 'ashwon ki nabz chhootey
Is saadgi se niklen sab ke dilon se aahain
Jhuk jaa'en dilbaron ki khud saakhta nigahain
Teri ada ke aagey sharmaa ke munh chhupaa'en
Naape huey karishme toli hui adaa'en
Teri nazar ki roo se ho jaa'en khasta-o-gum
Mashq-o-muzawalat ke paaley huey tabassum
Amn-o-amaan ke rukh ko be aab-o-rang kar de
Dunya ko husn tera maidan-e-jang kar de
Kitni hi qismaton ke badle falak navishte
Khoon aur dosti ke kat jaa'en kitne rishte
Tasneef hon hazaaron chubhte huey fasaane
In pankhRion ki zad par kaanpen sharab khaane
Taire pujaarion men maira bhi naam hota
Ai kaash junglon men maira qayaam hota
Yeh ban yeh gul yeh chashme mujh se qareeb hote
Shaa'ir ke zair-e-farmaan yeh sab raqeeb hote
Kion mairi guftagoo se hairat farosh kiyon hai
Ai zamzamon ki devi itni khamosh kiyon hai
Bajne lagain wafa ki mehfil men shaadiyane
Haan de labon ko junbash ai sarhadi taraane
Yoon chup hai mujh se goya kuchh kaam hi naheen hai
Yeh wuh ada hai jis ka kuchh naam hi naheen hai
Sun'na tha yeh keh zaalim is tarha muskaraai
Faryaad ki nazar se armaan ne di duhaai
'Ashwa, jabeen peh lai kar dil ki umang aaya
Chehre peh khoon dauRa aankhon men rang aaya
Sharma ke aankh uthaai zulfon peh haath phaira
Itne men rafta rafta chhane laga andhera
Chamka diyaa haya ne har naqsh-e-dilbari ko
Danton men yoon dabaaya chaandi ki aarsi ko
Sun kar meri machalti aankhon ki daastaanen
Uski nigaah men bhi ghaltaan hu'een zabanen
Sharma ke phir dobaara zulfon peh haath phaira
Dekha to chha chuka tha maidan par andhaira
Kuchh jism ko churaaya kuchh saans ko sambhaala
Kaandhey peh narm aanchal angRaai laike daala
Taareek karke mairi aankhon men ik zamaana
Jungle se sar jhuka kar hone lagi rawaana
Hone lagi rawaana armaan ne sar jhukaya
Dil ki misaal kaanpa reh reh ke ban ka saaya
Behosh ho chala main seene se aah nikli
Itne men raat laikar qandeel-e-maah nikli
MuR kar jo main ne dekha umeed mar chuki thi
PatRi chamak rahi thi gaaRi guzar chuki thi
