Return of the "Ctrl-C; Ctrl-V" Shaayar

A total of one post in the past 2 years on Ashtray. That's one thing that a B-School does to you. Anyways, the PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) is over for me and I have decided to start with blogging again. This long hiatus will also mark a new avatar for my blog i.e. shaayari / poetry of my liking clubbed with musings on whats happening around. I hope my blogger friends are still around... it aint fun posting without anyone following you!!

PS: Recently watched a movie by the name "Dharm". Whoever found slumdog a deserving Oscar winner must watch this one. Here's a quote from the movie which was also its theme -

"तू कहता कागद की लेखी, मैं कहता आँखन की देखी"

सच ये है..

सच ये है, बेकार हमें ग़म होता है..
जो चाहा था दुनिया में, कम होता है..!!

गैरों को कब फुरसत है दुःख देने की ..
जब होता है कोई हमदम होता है..!!

ज़हन की शाखों पर अशार आ जाते हैं..
जब तेरी यादों का मौसम होता है..!!

ज़ख्म तो हमने इन आँखों से देखे हैं..
लोगों से सुनते हैं मरहम होता है..!!

Jeevan naheen maraa karta hai...

Was returning home after a looong day at work. I dont know how but these lines just flashed into my mind..."Jeevan naheen maraa karta hai". A google search on this line made me realize that this was from one of the verses we had as a part of school curriculum. I guess I wasnt mature enough to understand the deeper meaning of the piece of art back then...Now, it meant so much. A must read is what I would suggest. Here it is:

Chip Chip ashru bahaane waalon
Moti vyarth lutane waalon !
Kuch sapnon ke mar jane se jeevan nahin mara karta hai

Sapnaa kya hai ? Nayan sez par,
Soya hua aankh ka paani
Aur tootna hai uska jyon
Jage kachchi neend jawani
Geelee umar banaane walon! Doobe bina nahaane waalon
Kuch pani ke bah jane se saawan nahin mara karta hai

Mala bikhar gayi to kya hai
Khud hi hal ho gayi samasyaa
Aansoo gar neelaam huye to
Samjho poori huyi tapasyaa
Roothe divas manaane walon! Phati kameez silaane waalon!
Kuch deepon ke bujh jaane se aangan nahin mara karta hai

Khota kuch bhi nahin yahan par
Kewal zild badaltee pothee (pothee –book)
Jaise raat utaar chandani
Pehne subah dhoop ki dhoti
Vastra badal kar aane waalon ! Chaal badalkar jaane waalon!
Chand Khilounon ke khone se bachpan nahin maraa karta hai

Laakhon baar gagriyaan phooteen
Shikan na aayi panghat par
Lakhon baar kishtiyaan doobeen
Chahal-pehal wo hi hai tat par
Tam ki umra badhaane waalon! Lau ki aayu ghatane waalon ! (tam-darkness)
Laakh kare patjhad koshish par upvan nahin maraa kartaa hai

Loot liya maali ne upvan
Luti na lekin gandh phool ki
Toofaanon tak ne cheda par
Khidki band na huyi dhool kee
Nafrat gale lagaane waalon! Sab par dhool udaane waalon
Kuch mukhdon ki naaraazee se darpan nahin maraa karta hai

Chip Chip ashru bahaane waalon
Moti vyarth lutane waalon !
Kuch sapnon ke mar jane se jeevan nahin mara karta hai

Jugnu

Main jugnu hoon, mujhe jugnu hee rehne de mere maula..
Suna hai chaand taare sabki aankhon mein khatakte hain..!!

Out of good 'Shaayari'

Sabhi ko sabhi kuch nahi milta,
nadi ki har lehar ko saahil nahi milta,
yeh dilwalo ki duniya hai ajeeb,
kisi se dil nahi milta to koi dilse nahi milta..!!

Devdas :-)

Apne hisse ki zindagi to hum jee chuke Chunni Babu,
Ab to sirf dhadkanon ka lihaaz karte hain..!!
Per kya karein in kambakht duniyaa waalon ka,
Jo aakhri saans per bhhi aitraaz karte hain..!!

Long time no nothing..!!

Aagaaz to hotaa hai anjaam naheen hotaa
jab meri kahaani mein vo naam naheen hotaa

[aaGaaz = start; anjaam = end/result]

Jab zulf kii kaalikh mein ghul jaaye koi raahi
badnaam sahii lekin gumnaam naheen hotaa


Hans hans ke javaan dil ke ham kyon na chunein tukde
har shakhs kii qismat mein inaam nahiin hotaa

Bahate hue aansoon ne aankhon se kahaa tham kar
jo mai se pighal jaaye vo jaam naheen hotaa

Din doobe hai yaa doobi baaraat liye kashtii
saahil pe magar koii kohraam nahiin hotaa
