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 Mila Ke Jiye,
Ab Ek Raat Agar Kam Jiye To Kam Hi Sahi,
Yahi Bahut Hai Ki Hum Mashalein Jala Ke Jiye.

Don't live by hiding your face nor by bowing it,
don't scare from tyrant's eyes stay by looking into it,
If we survive one night less then let it be,
enough to survive by keeping the flame burn than to extinguish it.

Manzil Door Nahin Hai-Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar'

मंज़िल दूर नहीं है(Destination is not far)-Ramdhari Singh Dinkar


वह प्रदीप जो दिख रहा है झिलमिल दूर नहीं है!
थक कर बैठ गए क्या भाई,मंज़िल दूर नहीं है।
The flame visible dead from here is not very far,
brother why are you sitting tired,destination is not far,

अपने हड्डी की मशाल से,हृदय चीरते तम का,
सारी रात चले तुम दुःख झेलते कुलिश निर्मल का,
एक खेय है शेष किसी विध पार उसे कर जाओ,
वह देखो उस पार चमकता है मंदिर प्रियतम का,
From the torch of your bone,tearing the heart of darkness,
Clearing thunderbolts you passed the night of distress,
Only one key(problem) is left to go across,
Look beyond there shines a temple of dearness,

आकर इतना पास फिरे वह सच्चा शूर नहीं है,
थक कर बैठ गए क्या भाई,मंज़िल दूर नहीं है।
Turning back,coming too close suits not a true soldier of war,
brother why are you sitting tired,destination is not far,

दिशा दीप्त हो उठी प्राप्त कर पुण्य प्रकाश तुम्हारा,
लिखा जा चुका अनल अक्षरों में इतिहास तुम्हारा,
जिस मिट्टी ने लहू पिया वह फूल खिलाएगी ही,
अम्बर पर घन बन छाएगा ही उच्छ्वास तुम्हारा,
Your direction is glowing,get back your light of desire,
Your history had been written before with the fire, 
This soil will definitely bloom flowers,since it has drunk blood,
Your sigh surely be spread like clouds on sky so higher,

और अधिक ले जांच देवता इतना क्रूर नहीं है,
थक कर बैठ गए क्या भाई,मंज़िल दूर नहीं है।
God is not so cruel to investigate more power,
brother why are you sitting tired,destination is not far,
