Aa Ke Meri Jaan Mein Karaar Nahin Hai

आ के मेरी जान में करार नहीं है।( Come That Repose In Life,I Don't Have ) - Mirza Ghalib 


आ के मेरी जान में करार नहीं है,
ताक़त-ऐ-बेदाद-ऐ-इंतज़ार नहीं है। 

Come that repose in life, I don't have,
Strength to bear the injustice of waiting,I don't have.

देते हैं जन्नत हयात-ऐ-दहर के बदले,
नशा बा_अंदाज़ा-ऐ-ख़ुमार नहीं है। 

Heaven is given in return for the life of this world,
Hangover according to intoxication,I don't have.

गिरिया निकाले है तेरी बज़्म से मुझको,
हाय! के रोने पे इख़तियार नहीं है। 

Weeping takes me out of your gathering,
Sorry! But control over my tears,I don't have.

हम से अबस है गुमां-ऐ-रंजिश-ऐ-ख़ातिर,
ख़ाक में उश्शक की ग़ुबार नहीं है। 

Being indifferent,you are suspecting my grievances,
In such cloud of dust,signs of lovers don't have.

दिल से उठा लुत्फ़-ऐ-जलवा हाय मायनि,
ग़ैर-ऐ-गुल आईना-ऐ-बहार नहीं है। 

Meaning of pleasure has lifted from my heart,
Other than blossoms,proof of spring in life I don't have.

क़त्ल का मेरे किया है अहद तो बारे,
वाए! अगर अहद उस्तवार नहीं है। 

At last you have promised to kill me,
What if! Determination in promise you don't have.

तूने कसम मेंकशी कि ख़ाई है 'ग़ालिब',
तेरी कसम का कुछ ऐतबार नहीं है। 

You have sworn by the wine,'Ghalib',
Trust on your pledge, I don't have.

Raksha Bandhan - Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti.

रक्षा बंधन - जिसकी बहन नहीं होती। Raksha Bandhan - Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti. Raksha Bandhan is an Indian festival of brother-sister love in which sister tie a rakhi (sacred thread) on her brother's hand and wishes for his long-life while brother promises to protect her and take care of her in every possible way. Sadly the country which celebrate such a unique festival reports incidents of Honor Killing and has a high rate of crime against women. Lets pledge to respect each women equally this Raksha Bandhan as a mark of  honor for your sister. In this Hindi Kavita (Poem) I have tried to express what all those devoid of sisters are missing in their life. It is also reminder to all those who have sisters but take these advantages as granted without caring for their sisters.  Happy Raksha Bandhan to all. सूनी कलाई, सूना बचपन, सूना आगन हो जाता है, जिसकी बहन नहीं होती सूना उसका जीवन हो जाता है।  Suni Kalai, Suna Bachpan, Suna Aagan Ho Jata Hai, Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti Su

The Seven Stages Of Love

The Seven Stages Of Love(इश्क़ के सात मक़ाम) Arabic literature and sufi traditions describes seven stages of love and after the movie 'Dedh Ishqiya'  all of us also knew that these seven stages of love are दिलकशी (Attraction),उन्स (Attachment),मोहब्बत (Love),अक़ीदत (Trust/Reverence),इबादत (Worship),जूनून (Madness) and मौत (Death) . At this time of the year ( Valentine Week) when the   Love is in the air    I am sharing my couplets (शेर ) which are based on these seven stages of love written at different times. I hope you will like my effort and share anything related to these seven stages of love at the comment section of this post. The best couplet ( शेर ) will be posted with your name on my Facebook page ( Fans Of Poetry ). 1. दिलकशी (Attraction) : The first stage of love where eyes meet,spark is initiated and the journey of love begins. वो मेरी तरफ देख कर गुज़र गए, ना कुछ कहा ना बात की, ना रुक के मुलाकात की, डाल कर मुझपर बस एक नज़र गुज़र गए, वो

Na Muhn Chupa Ke Jiye Hum Na Sar Jhuka Ke Jiye

न मुहँ छुपा के जीए हम न सर झुका के जीए। (Na Muhn Chupa Ki Jiye Hum Na Sar Jhuka Ke Jiye) -  I am sharing here a ' Qita ' written by Sahir Ludhianvi which is recently used in Hindi movie 'Sanju '. A song inspired from it also penned by Sahir for the film ' Humraaz' (1967 ) staring Sunil Dutt in the lead role. Literal meaning of Qata is ‘separated’. Qata stands for a series of couplets in a ghazal having continuity of thought. A ghazal having one or more Qatas is called Qata-Band ghazal . Qatas also have independent existence comprising at least four lines. In a Qata , the second and fourth lines follow the same rhyming scheme. (Qita meaning from Rekhta ). Here I have tried to translate it.  न मुँह छुपा के जिए हम न सर झुका के जिए,  सितमगरों की नज़र से नज़र मिला के जिए, अब एक रात अगर कम जिए तो कम ही सही,  यही बहुत है कि हम मिशअलें जला के जिए।  Na Muhn Chupa Ke Jiye Hum Na Sar Jhuka Ke Jiye, Sitamgaron Ki Nazar Se Nazar M
