MIRZA GHALIB... RAHIYE AB

RAHIYE AB AISI JAGAH CHAL KAR, JAHAN KOI NA HO
HUM-SUKHAN KOI NA HO AUR HUM-ZABAN KOI NA HO

BE DAR-O-DEEWAR SA EK GHAR BANAYA CHAHIYE
KOI HUM-SAAYA NA HO AUR PAASBAN KOI NA HO

PADIYE GAR BEEMAR TAU KOI NA HO TEEMARDAR
AUR AGAR MAR JAIYE TAU NAUHA-KHWAN KOI NA HO

GRAMMAR OF URDU GHAZAL...PART III

GHAZAL MEIN " MATLAA ' KYA HOTA HAI?
GHAZAL KE PEHLE SHERR KE DONO MISRON MEIN RADEEF KA HONA ZAROORI HOTA HAI, QAAFIYON KE SAATH-SAATH, ISS SHERR KO MATLAA KEHTE HAIN....
MASLAN:

KHATIR SE YA LIHAAZ SE MAIN MAAN TAU GAYA
JHOOTI QASAM SE AAPKA IMAAN TAU GAYA

MASLAN:

MEER KE DEEN-O-MAZHAB KO, AB POOCHTE KYA HO, UNN NE TAU
QASHQA KHEENCHA DAIR MEIN BAITHA , KAB KA TARK ISLAM KIYA

KHAUF

DARTA HUN
KAHIN LOGON KI BHEED MEIN KHO NA JAOON
KITNE LOG HAIN
BAS SAR HI SAR NAZAR AATE HAIN
DOOR TALAK
JAISE INSAANON KA SAMUNDAR
MAUJEIN MAAR RAHA HO
DARTA HUN
KHO GAYA AGAR
KHUD KO DHOONDUN GA KAISE
YAHAN TAU HAR CHEHRA
MERE CHEHRE JAISA HI HAI

MOMIN...HAR WAQT...

HAR WAQT HAI DUSHNAAM HAR EK BAAT PE TAANA
PHIR USS PE BHI KEHTA HAI KE MAIN KUCH NAHIN KEHTA

FOREVER DOTH SHE REBUKE ME, FOREVER DOTH SHE TAUNT
ON TOP OF IT COMPLAINS , I DON'T SPEAK A WORD

MIRZA GHALIB...HUM NE MAANA...

HUM NE MAANA KE TAGHAAFUL NA KARO GE LEKIN
KHAAK HO JAAYEN GE HUM, TUM KO KHABAR HONE TAK

TRUE, YOU'D RESPOND WITH LEAST OF DELAY
BUT ERE YOU COME TO KNOW , I WOULD BE NO MORE

MIRZA GHALIB...AASHIQI SABAR...

AASHIQI SABAR TALAB AUR TAMANNA BETAAB
DIL KA KYA RANG KARUN KHOON-E-JIGAR HONE TAK


LOVE DEMANDS PATIENCE, DESIRE WILL NOT WAIT
WHAT HUES SHOULD MY HEART REFLECT, TILL IT BLEEDS TO DEATH

MIRZA GHALIB...GO HAATH MEIN

GO HAATH MEIN JUMBISH NAHIN AANKHON MEIN TAU DUM HAI
REHNE DO ABHI SAAGHA-O-MEENA MERE AAGE


THOUGH LIFE HAS FLED MY HANDS, IT STILL FLICKERS IN THE EYES
LET THE FASK AND GOBLET STAY ON IN FRONT OF ME
