Chand Badli Mein Chupa

 चाँद बदली में छुपा! (Chand Badli Mein Chupa) 



The First sher of this ghazal was written in 2013. It stayed with me for years,quietly waiting for the rest of the poem to find its way for me.Today when I reread it again that ghazal came alive. In this ghazal,the beauty of the beloved is seen through the beauty of nature.The moon,flowers,fragrance,clouds and colors become metaphors for her presence while every beautiful sight becomes an occasion to remember her. Please read the ghazal and enjoy it.  

चाँद बदली में छुपा तो याद तेरी आ गई,

मैंने देखा भी नहीं और तू शर्मा गई। 

Chand Badli Mein Chupa To Yaad Teri Aa Gayi,

Maine Dekha Bhi Nahin Aur Tu Sharma Gayi.


बाग़ में कलियाँ ,फूल बनकर महका गई,

उनकी रंगत ये कैसे गालों पे तेरे आ गई। 

Bagh Mein Kaliyan, Phool Bankar Mehka Gayi,

Unki Rangat Ye Kaise Galon Pe Tere Aa Gayi.


लगता है आज फ़िर से ज़ुल्फ़ तेरी लहरा गई,

देख ज़ालिम फिर से काली घटा है छा गई। 

Lagta Hai Aaj Phir Se Zulf Teri Lehra Gayi,

Dekh Zalim Phir Se Kali Ghata Hai Cha Gayi.


कोयल जब भी आँगन में मेरे चहका गई,

ऐसा लगा जैसे आवाज़ तेरी आ गई। 

Koyal Jab Bhi Aagan Mein Mere Chahka Gayi,

Aisa Laga Jaise Aawaaz Teri Aa Gayi.


एक बार फ़िर से जब तू सामने मेरे आ गई,

ज़िन्दगी जो थम चुकी थी वापस पटरी पर आ गई। 

Ek Baar Phir Se Jab Tu Samne Mere Aa Gayi,

Zindagi Jo Tham Chuki Thi Wapas Patri Pe Aa Gayi.

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) .
