Nasir Kazmi ghazal
V S Rawat
in meraz-e-ghazal and then in Ghulam ali-Asha Bhosle single cassette.
A nice ghazal, the last sher steals the soul in its simplicity, crushes
the heart in its meaning and has a haunting effect on me somehow.
Wo raat ka benawa musaafir, wo tera shaayar, wo tera naasir,
teri gali tak to hum ne dekha, phir na jaane kidhar gaya wo.
in the cassette there are just three or four shers.
In one of the book exhibitions, I had see the book by Nasir Kazmi, in
which the full version having at least 10-12 sher was there.
What a beauty, what a brilliance. just by reading it i remained drowned
in its mood for weeks.
I badly need to listen to its full version sung preferably by Ghalam
Ali. Anybody?
I did not buy the book as it was too costly for me at that time. How i
regret not buying it now. Nasir Kazmi is one of my favourite shaayar,
especially considering Ghalam Ali's brilliantly sung ghazals of him. Dil
mein ek l a a he e e r si uthii hai abhi.

This particular ghazal was sung earlier by Habib Wali Mohammed. I find his
rendition superior to Asha's, perhaps because I grew up listening to it. :-)
The Habib Wali Mohammed version has at least one or two ashaar not sung by
Asha in Meraj-e-Ghazal.

I had heard a Nasir Kazmi's ghazal "gaye dino.n ka suraag le kar" first
in meraz-e-ghazal and then in Ghulam ali-Asha Bhosle single cassette.

I have not heard Habib's version, so i can't comment.
Of course, i am not surprised that someone had sung a better version
that Asha, with due respect to her. Non filmi ghazals were never a
strong point of either of the sisters.
Could you be your usual kind self, and post these additional sher in
habib's version. I am having about a dozen sher that I read in that
book.

It marks the boundary of my feeble knowledge of Urdu, and then surpasses
that a bit. Several places it appears that scale is not kept in mind. Or
could be my mistake. Corrections are welcome.
Whatever. A ghazal to enjoy every word of. The eastern U.P.'s purabia
dialect adds to the mystique.
Enjoy.

gaye dino.n ka suraag le kar, kidhar se aaya kidhar gaya wo
ajeeb maanoos ajnabi tha, mujhe to hairaan kar gaya wo
bas ek moti si chhab dikha kar, bas ek meethi si dhun suna kar
sitara-e-shaam ban ke aaya, bara.ng-e-khaab-e-sahar gaya wo
khushi ki raat ho ya gam ka mausam, nazar use dhoo.ndhati hai hardam
wo boo-e-gul tha, ki nagma-e-jaa.n, mere to dil mein utar gaya wo
na ab wo yaado.n ka chadhta dariya, na fursato.n ki udaas barkha
yu.n hi jara si kasak hai dil mein, jo zakhm gehra tha bhar gaya wo
wo hizr ki raat ka sitaara, wo hamnafas, hamsukhan hamaara
sada rahe us ka naam pyaara, suna hai kal raat mar gaya wo
kuchh ab sa.mbhalne lagi hai jaa.n bhi, badal chalaa daur-e-aasmaa.n bhi
jo raat bhaari thi tal gayi hai, jo din kadaa tha gujar gaya wo
bas ek ma.nzil hai kul hawas ki, hazaar raste hai.n ahl-e-dil ke
yehi farak hai bas mujh mein, us me, guzar gaya main, thahar gaya wo
shikasta-pa raah mein khada huu.n, gaye dino.n ko bhoolata huu.n
jo qaafila mera ham safar tha, misaal-e-gard-e-safar gaya wo
mera to khoo.n ho gaya hai paani, sitamgari ki palak na bheegi
jo naala uttha tha raat dil se, na jaane kyo.n be-asar gaya wo
wo maikade ko jagaane waala, wo raat ki nee.nd udhaane waala
ye aaj kya us ke jee mein aayi, ki shaam hote hi ghar gaya wo
wo jis ke shaane pe haath rakh kar, safar kiya tuu ne ma.nzilo.n ka
teri gali se kal na jaane.n sar jhukaaye guzar gaya wo
wo raat ka benawa musaafir, wo tera shaayar, wo tera Nasir,
teri gali tak to hum ne dekha, phir na jaane kidhar gaya wo.
