Shayari # 26 : Sawaal

 शायरी # 26 : सवाल (Shayari # 26 : Sawaal) - Couplets : Question! 

I am sharing three shers or couplets of three famous Hindustani shayar all raising a question to society, critics or to ourselves. Bashir Badr, Nida Fazli and Rahat Indori remain active not only in mushairas (Poetry Gatherings) but also in mainstream Hindi Cinema as lyricist. But as shayars they all remain connected to their roots, their birth places and observed the people and the society minutely and often commented on society and people through their shers. Here I have also translated them for better understanding.  



लोग टूट जाते हैं एक घर बनाने में, 

तुम तरस नहीं खाते बस्तियां जलने मैं। 

- बशीर बद्र 

  Log Toot Jate Hain Ek Ghar Banane Main,

Tum Taras Nahin Khate Bastiyan Jalane Main. 

- Bashir Badr


People shatters just in a single home building, 

You never remorse in entire settlement burning.

##########


कभी किसी को मुकम्मल जहाँ नहीं मिलता,

कहीं ज़मीन कहीं आसमाँ नहीं मिलता।

- निदा फ़ाज़ली

Kabhi Kisi Ko Mukammal Jahan Nahin Milta,

Kahin Zamin To Kahin Aasman Nahin Milta.

- Nida Fazli


No one ever finds a world which is perfect,

Here sky or somewhere land, one never get.

##########

सभी का खून है शामिल यहाँ की मिट्टी में,

किसी के बाप का हिन्दुस्तान थोड़ी है!

- राहत इंदौरी

Sabhi Ka Khoon Shamil Hai Yahan Ki Mitti Mein, 

Kisi Ke Baap Ka Hindustan Thodi Hai.

- Rahat Indori


Everyone's blood is there in this land,

'Hindustan' is not anyone's father's land. 


तरस (Taras) - Pity ; मुकम्मल (Mukammal) - Complete ; शामिल (Shamil) - Present/Involved .

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 Baha...

चल बुल्लेया।(Let's Go Bulleya.)- Bulle Shah चल बुल्लेया चल उत्थे चलिए जित्थे सारे अन्ने, न कोई साडी ज़ात पचाने,न कोई सानु मन्ने। Bulle Shah,let's go to a place where everyone is blind, Nobody where knows my caste,Nobody towards me where inclined.  तू तो कैवे ते टुम्या जावें, ते मै मै कहवां तो चुर्रियाँ, सुन्या भगत कबीर ने बुल्लेया, होवे बंदा बुल्लेया। What you say is all right, What I say mine,it's a fight, After listening to kabeera(saint kabeer), His disciple become Bulla(Bulle Shah) एक कड़ाकड़ टुक्कर वाजे, ताता होवे चुल्ला, आते-जाते हर कोई खावे, राज़ी होवे बुल्ला। When tukkar(a kind of horn) is blown, Then food is on, When everybody comes,eat and get satisfied, than only Bulle Shah is gratified. बुल्ले आशिक गोया रब दा,होई मलामत लाख़, तैनू "काफ़िर-काफ़िर"अखदे, तू"आहो-आहो"आख। Bulla falls in love with God,had lot of fulmination, Infidels calls you infidel, You nod in affirmation. चल बुल...

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) .
