 Mere Zakhmon Ko Tum Hara Rakhna ( मेरे ज़ख्मों को तुम हरा रखना) - Keep My Wounds Fresh 'Mere Zakhmon Ko Tum Hara Rakhna' is my comeback poem on the blog. It is almost  after a year that I am updating my blog. This Hindi poem tells the helplessness of a common man in India. Facing problems from all corners of life he is frustrated in saying that he is in such a position where he neither die nor live peacefully and with dignity. He/She is feeling like caged bird who is not allowed to even die in spite living in such pathetic condition. For more explanation Read Here.  मेरे ज़ख्मों को तुम हरा रखना, समंदर दर्द का सदा भरा रखना।  कोई आइना मुझे हस्ते हुए न देख ले, ऐसे कमरे में बंद मुझे तनहा रखना।   Mere Zakhmon Ko Tum Bhara Rakhna,  Samandar Dard Ka Bhara Rakhna.  Koi Aaina Mujhe Haste Hue Na Dekh Le, Aise Kamre Mein Band Mujhe Tanha Rakhna. कभी बेड़ियों से जो आज़ाद दिखूं, कतरने को पर पास उस्तरा रखना।  Kabhi Bediyon Se Jo Azad Dikhun, Katarne Ko Par Pa...

ज़ख्म झेले दाग़ भी खाए बहुत। Zakhm Jhele Dagh Bhi Khaye Bahut. (Enough Insulted, wounds tolerated too much.) - Mir Taqi Mir. A love composition by Mir Taqi Mir - Zakhm Jhele Dagh Bhi Khaye Bahut which describes various aspects of love is translated by me in this post. Mir one of the stalwarts of Urdu ghazal writers describes that he was repenting giving his heart after seeing insults and wounds but even then he was enjoying everything about love. The ghazal is elaborated in detail at Mir's Zakhm Jhele Dagh Bhi Khaye Bahut.   ज़ख्म झेले दाग़ भी खाए बहुत, दिल लगा कर हम तो पछताए बहुत।  Zakhm jhele dagh bhi khaye bahut, Dil laga kar hum to pachtaye bahut. Enough insulted, wounds tolerated too much, By attaching heart I have repented too much. जब न तब जगह से तुम जाया किए, हम तो अपनी और से आए बहुत।  Jab na tab jagah se tum jaya kiye, Hum to apni aur se aaye bahut. You went away according to your wish, From my side,I have visited to...

अब तो घबरा के ये कहते है (In Panic now I say)- Ibrahim Zauq अब तो घबरा के ये कहते हैं कि मर जाएंगे, मर गए पर न लगा जी तो किधर जाएँगे। In panic now I say,It will be better to die, But if peace be not in death,whither then. सामने चश्मे-गुहरबार के ,कह दो दरिया, चढ़ के अगर आये तो नज़रों से उतर जाएँगे। In front of pearl like tears shedding eyes, tell river, that if you came climbing,you are out of sight then. ख़ाली ऐ चारागरों होंगे बहुत मरहमदान, पर मेरे ज़ख्म नहीं ऐसे कि भर जाएँगे। Too many salve box will get empty,doctors, but my wounds are such that not to be healed even then. पहुंचेंगे रहगुज़र-ए-यार तलक हम क्यूँ कर, पहले जब तक न दो आलम से गुज़र जाएँगे। Why do I reach to the way of my beloved, before whole universe i roam,until then. आग़ दोज़क़ की भी हो आएगी पानी-पानी, जब ये आसी अरक-ए-शर्म से तर जाएँगे। Fire of hell will also get ashamed when sinful get saturated in shame's perspiration then हम नहीं वो जो करें ...

तू मै,मै तू हो गया।(You Became I,I Became You) "मन तू शुदम तू मन शुदी, मन तन शुदम तू जान शुदी, ताकस न गोयद बाद अज़ीन,                         मन दिगारम तू दिगारी,"_ अमीर खुसरो  These lines of Amir Khusrow which means"I have became you,and you me,I am the body ,you soul, so that no one can say hereafter, that you are someone and me someone else," inspired me to write this poem "Tu mein mein tu ho gaya," whose first four lines are translation of above lines. तू मै ,मै तू हो गया, मै जिस्म हूँ,तू रूह मेरी, कहने को अब है क्या बचा,                                             न तू मुझसे न मै तुझसे जुदा। You became I, I became you, You are soul, I am the body, What else I would say, We are not different,we are one. मुझ पर हसी दुनिया सभी, जो तुझमें मै इतना खो गया, हस कर क्या मेरा छीना, ...
