Aaj jo raat ka nasha hai

aaj jo raat ka nasha hai
woh kuch khaas hai
aahein bicha ke baithe hai hum
ke unke aane ki aas hai

lamha lamha beete hai taras kar
unke intezaar mein
agle deedar ke liye dhadke hai dil
sab kuch khaas hai mere yaar mein

jhalak dekhne ko uski
saikdo ka dil tarse hai
chuu lene ko uske husn ki khwaish se
baarish ki har boond barse hai

na jaane kya nasha hai uski nigaho mein
jo bin piye meri rooh tak behek jaati hai
aana uska jashn se kya kam hai
jo chuu le use, hawa tak mehak jaati hai

sau dafa hue hain khafa
sau dafa hue hain juda
dor aise hai ki khinche chale aate hain
rishta hai anmol, ke hairan hai khud khuda.

hai jo ummeed un se,
na jaane woh kab poori hogi,
beet gayi jo bina unke deedar ke,
toh kambakth poonam ki raat bhi adhoori hogi.

batlati hai yeh fizayein humse,
ki us husn pari ka ik alag hi jahaan hai
lekin jaane kya yeh nadaan hawaein,
ki is shama ka iklauta parwana yahan hai

-D’puk.

A few shairs [urdu]

Kaash meri zindagi mein tum aaye na hote,

Aankhon mein itne khuwab sajaaye na hote,

Itna dard jo mujhe tum de kar chale gaye,

Koi aya na hota tou yeh zulm dhaya na hota,

Kaash meri tanhai mujhse roothe na hote.

–Sheikha.

Waqt dhoka de gaya mujhe lekin

Tumhari yaadein abhi baaki hai

Kitni jaldi doobta hai suraj aur raat

Doob jaati hai apne hi andhere mein.

–Sheikha.

Isi andhere ujaale mein baatein ki tumse,

Jab parchai lagta tha tumhara paas hona.

–Sheikha.

Ilzaam doun bhi agar tou kis ko doun,
Meri taraf nazar kabhi huwi nahi tumhari,
Jalte hai hum khoobsurti se itna kyun,
Mujh par nazrein tiki nahi tumhari kabhi.

–Sheikha.

Ijaazat ho agar thori der aur ruk jaayun
Saari umar nikl gayi ab saansein baaki hai

–Sheikha.

mere bhitar ki

mere bhitar ki trishna ko tum miljulkar door karo,
khwab jo maine dekhe they wo mujhse milkar poor karo

yeh baat nai wo baat sahi, kya lena par in baaton ka,
akash yadi hai gyat mujhe, akash se lekar door chalo

beete baaton ke saye jo unki yaad dilate hain,
unko jo kabhi na bhool sake to unko bhi barbad karo

teevrgativikritpratidinmeraman tumse milkar hota hai,
apne seene ki dhadkan ko mujhse milkar vyapt karo

kal raat jo tumne sochi thi wo baat jo mujhse kehne ki,
wo baat kabhi bhi keh na sake tum, us baat ko antarlaap karo

ek prani ke do pehlu hain jo jeevanbhar sang rehte hain,
ek tumko pyara lagta hai, tum duje ko swikar karo

main apne aap ke bheetar hoon tum apne andar rehti ho,
is band kamre ke jeevan ko mujhse milkar azad karo

-Kunal Goel

Aaj Bhi

My first attempt at Hindi Poetry…

Dabdabaayee Si Ankhon Mein Aaj Bhi Tairta Hai Chehra Unhi Ka
Ashkon Mein Aaj Bhi Kabhi Ruth te Kabhi Muskurate Hain Woh

Durr lagta hai tumharey har vaade se, 

Tanha hi nazar ayi khud ko hamesha se, 

Har waqt jo palat kar dekhna chaha tumhe, 

Jab bhi kehte jaane se pehle mujhse ke 

Aankhein jhapakte mein wapis ajaunga, lekin 

Ek sadi beet gayi hoti thi tumharey lautne par.

-Sheikha

Mujhe yaad hai woh lamha jaagti subah ka, 

Aur mere nazron ke saamne ka dhuwaan, 

Kya woh badalte mausam ka ittefaq tha?

Ya aasman par rangon ka koi khel tha?

-Sheikha.

Well, I didn’t quite know the Hindi category existed here…since I’ve discovered it, I thought I may post in my amateur attempt at shairi…

I’ve written a few, like beginners work, but my command over the Urdu language isn’t strong enough to write Ghalib style…

Bear with it, if you don’t like it…

Is veerane dasht mein kho kar paya kisi ne kuch nahi

Aaye the toofan dhundne jalti huwi ret mein

Lekin kisi mein woh baat na thi tum jaisi

Ek tumhi the jiske bharose mein bhikr tou sakti.

I admit I am hesitant…

Hindi Poem: Tum the ruke hue

tum the ruke hue to chuppi thi
hum chalte to gufta-gu hoti
tumse thi kuch bhi naa thi
humse hoti to yun hoti

Jag Ja…

jag ja ri gudiya
misri ki pudiya
meethe lage do naina
nainon mein tere, hum hi base the
hum hi base hain, hain na.

o ri raani, gudiyaaaa,
jag jaa, arii jag ja, mari jag ja.

halka sa kosa,
subho ka bosa,
maan jaa ri, ab jaag ja.
naak pe tere, kaatega bicchoo
jaag ja, tu maan ja
jo chahe le lo, dashrath ka vaada
nainon More
