Recent joblessness and a fractured hand has compelled me to pass time by browsing total 'arbit' stuff on net (cannot roam around the city at my will). In-lieu to this, I came across a few 'Urdu' forums. Urdu is a very beautiful language, I must say! Certain words like sifarish, naazneen, intehaan, saazish, etc. sound much better than their hindi counter-parts (like salaah, priyatama, pareeksha, shadyantra etc.)
Shayari has always appealed to me in its form, its manner, in everything. Here are a few of the works which I liked. All are romantic in nature, so if you fall under the other extreme class of people (un-romantic types), kindly 'digg' somewhere else!
Before we begin, I would like to declare that none of the following is a work of mine. Although I have done a little bit of 'tweaking' here and there to suit my personal taste!
So here we go:
Hazaaron khwahishein aisi ki har khwahish pe dam nikle,
Bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle,
Darey kyun mera qaatil kya rahega uski gardan par,
Woh khoon jo chashm-e-tar se umar bhar yoon dam-ba-dam nikle!
[Chashm-e-tar means wet eyes and dam-ba-dam means continuously]
Tum par hi khatam yeh saari chahat hogi,
Phir na kisi aur par yeh inayat hogi,
Kuch iss tarah se karenge yaad tumhe,
Na zamane ko shiqwa na tumhe shikayat hogi!
Tere hothon ki nirmal haya, teri khamoshi sa kahin geet nahi,
Nazrein jhukakar, palkon se izhaar-e-mohabbat, waisa sangeet nahi,
Teri muskurahat sunayi deti hai mujhe saaz-e-shehnayi mein,
Bas tera, ik tera khayal rehta hain, anjuman mein tanhayi mein!
Seeney se lagakar aap ne, bada karam hum par farmaya hai,
Jise thukra diya tha uss khuda ne bhi, aap ne usse apnaya hai,
Din mein bas do martaba aati hai iss dhadkan ko aapki yaad,
har ek saans aane se pehle, har ek saans jane ke baad!
A few two liners:
Kaash is duniya mein yeh "kaash" na hota,
Zinda ho kar bhi main ek laash na hota!
marte the hum bhi jaana, jeene ki khatir ab tak,
par tera ishq yeh sikhaye, marne mein mazaa kya hai?
Mila hai sabr aur tanhaiyon ka daur humein itna,
kahin hai khushi ka jashn, aur yahan hai gham kitna!
Darrte darrte afsaana-e-dil aaj unse humne keh to diya,
yeh yaad nahi ghabraahat mein kya yaad raha aur kya bhool gaye!?
Utra hai dil-e-zameen par chaand, shayad sitaron ko na-gawara hai,
sitaron se kaho kahin aur ja-kar dekhen, yeh chaand toh ab hamara hai!
To end this post, here is my personal favorite:
Kabhi kabhi mohabbat mein, aazmaish honi chahiye,
Bepanaah mohabbat mein, taqraar ki gunjaish honi chahiye,
Kab tak parwaane hi jalein shamma ki hasraton mein,
Kabhi unse bhi toh ishq ki farmaish honi chahiye!!!

Kya baat hai janaab, badi umda pasand hai aapki! Vaise, Ghalib ka hi ye padha/suna hai aapne
Tere waade par jiye hum to ye jaan jhooth jaana
Ke khushi se mar na jaate agar aitbaar hota
sher hamesha sad kyun hote hain?
aaj fir roshan hua chand,
aaj fir chandni mein jalna hoga
aaj fir uthega dhuan,
aaj fr zakhmon ko sulagna hoga...
if u still have not, listen to mughal-e-azam... specially 'ae ishq'
