Umre Daraz..

umre daraaz maang ke laaye the char din,
do aarzoo mein kat gaye do intezaar mein,
kehdo in hasraton se kahin aur ja basein,
itni jageh kahan hain dil e daagdaar mein..

itna hai badnaseeb zafar dafn ke liye
do gaz zameen bhi na mili kue yaar mein

aur ab lagta nahin hai dil mera
ujde dayar mein..

Mohabbat mein nahin hai farq jeenay aur marnay ka
Uski ko dekh kar jeetay hain, jis kaafir pe dam nikle

Quotes

If you're going through hell, keep going.
- Sir Winston Churchill -

“What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.”freud

“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is ''What does a woman want?''-freud"

prateeksha

Harivansh Rai Bachhan

Madhur Prateeksha hii jab itni,
priya tum aate tab kya hota?
Tumne kab dii baat,
raat ke soone me tum aanewaale,
Par aise hii waqt pran man,
mere ho uthate matwaale,
saansen ghoom-ghoom phir-phir se,
asmanjas ke kshan ginati hai,
milne ki ghadiyaa.N tum nischit yadi kar jaate tab kya hota?

Baith kalpana karta hoon,
pagchaap tumhari mug se aati,
rag-rag mein chetanata ghulkar,
aansoon ke kann si jhar jaati,
namak dali sa gal apnapan,
sagar mein ghulmil sa jaata,
apni baahon mein bharkar priya,
kanth lagaate tab kya hota?

Jo Beet Gayi..

Harivansh Rai Bachhan

Jeevan Main Ek Sitara Tha,
Maana Vah Behad Pyara Tha,
Vah Doob Gaya To Doob Gaya,
Ambar Kay Aanan Ko Dekho,
Kitne Iskay Taare Toote,
Kitne Iskay Pyare Choote,
Jo Choot Gaye Fir Kahan Mile,
Par Bolo Toote Taaron Par,
Kab Ambar Shok Manata Hai,
Jo Beet Gayi So Baat Gayi..

Mridu Mitti Kay Hain Bane Hue,
Madhu Ghoot Phoota Hi Kartay Hain ,
Laghu Jeevan Lekar Aaye Hain ,
Pyale Toota Hi Karte Hain ,
Fir Bhi Madiralaya Kay Andar ,
Madhu Kay Ghat Hai Madhu Pyale Hain,
Jo Madakta Kay Maare Hain ,
Vey Madhu Loota Hi Kartay Hain ,
Va Kachcha Peene Wala Hai ,
Jiski Mamta Ghat Pyalon Par ,
Jo Sachchey Madhu Sey Jala Hua ,
Kab Rota Hai Chillata Hai ,
Jo Beet Gayi So Baat Gayi..

Madhushala

Madhushala-Harivansh Rai Bachhan

Mrudu bhaavon ke angooron ki aaj bana laaya haalaa,
priyatam, apne hi haathon se aaj pilaunga pyaalaa,
pehle bhog laga lun tera, phir prasad jug paayega,
sabse pehle tera swagat karti meri madhushala.

Today I bring you, this heady potion of ripe grapes,
darling! You shall drink from my own hands,
first, I make my offering to you, then to the world,
my tavern welcomes you, first of all.

Bhaavukata angoor lata se kheench kalpana ki haalaa
kavi bankar hai saaki aaya bharkar kavita ka pyaalaa
kabhi na kanbhar khaali hoga, laakh piye, do lakh piye,
paathakgan hai.N peenewaale, pustak meri madhushala.

From grapevines of emotions, having drawn the spirits of his imagination
here comes the poet, your bartender, with his cup full of poetry
never a drop emptier, though thousands drink,
the readers the drinkers, my poetry the bar.

Laalaayit adharo.N se jisne, haay, nahii.N choomi haalaa,
harsh vikampit kar se jisne haa, na chhua madhu ka pyaala,
haath pakad lajjit saaki ko paas nahii.N jisne khee.Ncha,
vyartha sukhaa daali jeevan ki usne madhumay madhushala.

He who did not, with eager lips, kiss his drink,
he who did not touch his cup, hands quivering with pleasant anticipation,
he who did not grab the reluctant hostess by the hand and draw her near,
Oh woe! Pointlessly has he wasted the heady drink that is life!

Chhote se jeevan mein kitna pyaar karoon,
peeun haalaa,aane ke hi saath jagat mein kehlaaya jaanewaala,
swagat ke hi saath vida ki hoti dekho taiyyaari,
band lagi hone khulte hi meri jeevan madhushala.

How much can I drink and love, life is short,
no sooner did I arrive than I was branded a‚ 'goner',
with the welcome, watch the preparations for farewell,
the end looms for my heady life, having barely begun!

Tere Shehar Wali

Gurdas Mann - Sajna Ve Sajna

sajna ve sajna tere shehar wali sanu ,
kini sohni lagdi dupehar
kini changi lagdi dupehar
fer v pata ni kaato, moh jeha aayi jande
bhaave sade sar gaye ne pair,
bhaave sade bhuj gaye ne pair
sajnaa, ve sajna , ve sajna

maa ne v rokeya, bapu ne v rokeya
naa jaayi mitran de shehar
par sadi bhukh sagon dooni chauni hoi jaave
haul painde rehan chato pair
sajnaa, ve sajna , ve sajna

tere shehar kaahi aayi mitra ve meriya
bhule sab shikve te vair
chit kare kakke kakke reteya nu chum lava
lab kite sajna di pair
sajnaa, ve sajna, ve sajna

tere shehar vich sab apne hi vasde ne,
sade pind vasde ne gair,
jine mile sanu sab,
mile dukhk den wale,
ik ne na pushi sadi khair,
sajnaa, ve sajna, ve sajna

tere shehar vich asi mangteya barobar,
bhaave gurr paade,
bhaave zehar,
tere dar uto bhukh naina di mitaavni oye,
eho sade pakra di khair
sajnaa, ve sajna, ve sajna

jag bhaave rus jaaye, rab bhaave rus jaaye
sanu sade mitran di lehar
maana marjaaneya ki shehar tera vekheya ooye
saatho bhuli jandi na dupehar
sajnaa, ve sajna, ve sajna
