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 . 

Shayari - 4

शायरी - 4 ( Couplets )

With shayari as title I share famous shers ( couplets ) of famous poets or shers written by me. They are related to particular theme but today with its fourth edition after about four months I am presenting shers of notable Urdu poet Bashir Badr. These are his famous shers often quoted by artists,politicians,actors and other poets.

उजाले अपनी यादों के हमारे साथ रहने दो,

न जाने किस गली में ज़िन्दगी कि शाम हो जाए। 

(Ujale apni yadon ke humare saath rehne do,

Na Jaane kis gali mein zindagi ki shaam ho jaaye.)

Let the light of your memories with me,

Who knows in which street dusk of my life comes.

########

कुछ तो मजबूरियां रही होंगी,

यूँही कोई बेवफ़ा नहीं होता। 

(Kuch to majburiyan rahin hongi,

Yuhin koi bewafa nahin hota.)

There must be some compulsions,

Simply no one becomes infidel.

########

वो भी बहुत अकेला है शायद मेरी तरह,

उसको भी कोई चाहने वाला नहीं मिला। 

(Wo bhi bahut akela hai shayad meri tarah,

Usko bhi koi chahne wala nahin mila.)

He too is alone,perhaps like me,

He also found no one to love.

########

दुश्मनी जम कर करो मगर ये गुंजाईश रहे,

जब कभी हम दोस्त हो जाएँ तो शर्मिंदा न हों। 

(Dushmani jam kar karo magar ye gunjaish rahe,

Jab kabhi hum dost ho jaayein to sharminda na hon.)

Do animosity with full efforts but keep a margin,

that whenever we become friends,we do not be embarrassed.

########
