Mera Kuch Samaan

I have always loved this song. But, I didn't know the context earlier. And now that I watched the movie yesterday (yeah, somehow missed this brilliant movie till now), I love it more. Everything will be less and nothing will be much in praise of Gulzar saab. So, I rest by saying this movie was so ahead of it's time.

The poetry is awesome and I specially like the portion before the song starts.

ek dafa woh yaad hai tumko
bin batti jab cycle ka chalan hua tha
humne kaise bhuke pyase becharon si acting ki thi
hawaldar ne ulta ek atthani deke wapas bhej diya tha
ek chamanni meri thi woh bhijwado

sawan ke kuch bheege bheege din rakhe hain
aur mere ek khat mein lipti kuch raat padi hai
woh raat bhijwado
aur bhi kuch samaan tumhare paas pada hai
woh bhijwado

patjhad hai..
patjhad main kuch patton ke girne ki aahat
kaanon main ek baar pahan ke laut aai thee
patajhad ki vo saakh abhi tak kaanp rahi hai
woh bhijwado

ek sau sola chand ki raatein
ek tumhare kaandhe ka teel
geeli mehendi ki khusboo
jhoot moot ke waadein

Faryaad

Hai ikhtiyar mein tere tu maujza kar de,
Woh shaks mera nahin hai use mera kar de.

Yeh rah guzar kahin khatam hi nahi hoti,
Zara si door to rasta hara bhara kar de.

Mai uss ke shor ko dekhu woh mera sabr-e-sukoon
Mujhe chiraagh bana de usse hawa kar de.

Akeli shaam bahut hi udaas karti hai,
Kisi ko bejh koi mera hum-nawa kar de.

Poet : Rana Sahri

Lehren

Tum ho duur, bahut duuuur!! Wahan,

Rawayat

Ek khawb hai is khawb ko khona bhi nahin hai
Tabeer ke dhagey mein pirona bhi nahin hai
Lipta hai dil se kisi raaz ki surat,
Woh shakhs ke jis ko mera hona bhi nahin hai
Ye ishq-o-muhabbat ki rawayat bhi ajab hai
Paya nahin jis ko, usay khona bhi nahin hai
Jis shakhs ki khatir mera ye haal hai
Us nay mere jane par rona bhi nahin hai

--Ayub Khawar

Kahani

ajib kahani hai is kahani ki
anth tay tha, phir bhi
panne bharte chale gaye
use badalne mein..
anth to na badla par
sihayee baki reh gayi
ab likhen to kya likhen?

--Bibhuti

A Poem by Vicky Arya

galat koi nahin tha shayad
na main na woh
humne use aasman pe bithaya tha
to jab bhi usne dekha
neeche hi dekha

--Vicky Arya

Faasla

Takiye pe tere shar ka woh tippa hai, pada hai
Chadar mein tere jism ki woh soundhi si khusboo
Hathon mein mehekta hai tere chehre ka ehshas
Mathe pe tere hothon ki woh mohor lagi hai

Tu itni kareeb hai ki tujhe dekhun to kaise
Thodi si alag ho to tere chehre ko dekhun..

-Gulzar

Meer

Woh aaye bazm mein, itna to "meer" ne dekha
Phir usske baad, chiragon mein roshani na rahi

Wow!! What beautiful and powerful lines.

~Meer Taqi Meer

Khwab

Khwab tha shayad, toot gaya
Zindagi itni meherbaan kahan

Kaash! Neend thodi aur gehri hoti..

-Bibhuti

Tohfa

Ek tohfa dhundne chala tha tumhare liye..

Mahtaab-e-noor se roshani maangi to khabar hua
Chandni aasli to aur kahin hai..

Sard-e-aaftab se garmahat maangi to khabar hua
Meethi dhoop aasli to aur kahin hai..

Nasiim-e-sahar se taraawat maangi to khabar hua
Sukoon aasli to aur kahin kahin hai..

Khuda se koi naa-yaab tohfa maangi to khabar hua
Woh to tum ho, bas tum hi..

Main tumhare liye kya tohfa laaun ?

Sard-e-aaftab : Winter Sun
Mahtaab-e-noor : Bright Moonlight
Nasiim-e-sahar : Morning breeze
Taraawat : Coolness

--Bibhuti

Bhulna

Aur ek subah aaj, raat leke hai ayi
Chubhti chandni ojhal aagosh mein samayi

Phir bhul gaya ki bhulna tha tujhe..

--Bibhuti

Aadat

Mujhe tumhari aadat si ho gayi hai

Woh aankhon ki baatein
Woh baaton ki raatein
Woh raaton ki sapne
Aur sapno mein tum
Mujhe tumhari aadat si ho gayi hai

Woh jhoot moot ka gussa
Woh gusse mein pyar
Woh pyar bhara dil
Aur dil mein tum
Mujhe tumhari aadat si ho gayi hai

Woh muskata chehra
Woh chehre pe zulfen
Woh zulfon ka badal
Aur badalon mein chand 'tum'
Mujhe tumhari aadat si ho gayi hai

Mujhe zindagi ki aadat si ho gayi hai..

Tum Mujhe Ab Yaad Nahin Aate

Tum mujhe ab yaad nahin aate
Nahin aati ab chand shab ki ungli thame
Nahin bhigati mujhe aur baarish ki boondein
Nahin aati hawa saraabor tumhari khusboo mein
Tum mujhe ab yaad nahin aate..

Yeh kaisi jeet hai jisme har pal meri haar hai..

--Bibhuti

Sketch

Yaad hai ek din...
Mere mej pe baithe baithe,
Cigarette ki dibiya par tumne,
Chhote se ek poudhe ka,
Ek sketch banaya tha...
Aakar dekho,
Us poudhe par phool aya hai.

--Gulzar

Abhi Woh Dard Baqi Hai

Abhi woh dard baqi hai
Agarchay waqt marham hai
Magar kuch waqt lagta hai
Kisi ko bhool janay mein
Dobara dil basaanay mein
Abhi kuch waqt lagna hai
Abhi woh dard baqi hai

Main kaisay nayee ulfat mein
Apni zaat ko gum kar doon
Kay meray jism-o-wajdaan mein
Abhi woh fard baqi hai
Abhi us shakhs ki mujh per
Nigah-e-Sard baqi hai
Abhi to Ishq kay raston ki
Mujh per gard baqi hai...

Abhi Woh Dard Baqi Hai


Agarchay : Although
Ulfat : Love
Zaat : Personality
Fard : Account Book, Individual, Member, Unique

Zindagi

Aye zindagi
Main tujh se haar nahin maanunga
Mujhe pata hai
Tu mere sath khel rahi hai saanp-siddhi
Aaj daao teri hai
Main kuch fisla jaroor hun
Hara nahin
Kal baaji meri hogi
Main tujhe hathon se fisalne nahin dunga


Aye zindagi
Main tujh se haar nahin maanunga
Mujhe pata hai
Tu ruthi hui hai jhoot moot ki
Main jo waqt nahin bitaye tumpe
Sajane sawarne mein
Woh sab lautaunga suud ke sath
Ab muskura bhi do
Main tujhe aur kabhi ruthne nahin dunga


Aye zindagi
Main tujh se haar nahin maanunga
Mujhe pata hai
Tu thodi si bechain hai
Tere mathe pe yeh shikan
Mere ghamon ki wajah se hai
Ab to yeh faisla hai
Aaj raat ek nayee subah hogi
Chand ki leyp se main teri thakaan mitaunga
Main tujhe haar ne nahin dunga..

--Bibhuti

Boondein

Darakhton se sikha tha ashk-e-ravaan chhupana
Hawa ki tarah jo tum saamne aye
Aankhon ke patte boondein barsane lage

--Bibhuti

Gubbare

Ek sannata bhara hua tha
Ek gubbare se kamre mein
Tere phone ki ghanti ke bajne se pehle
Baasi sa mahol yeh sara
Thodi der ko dhadka tha
Saans hili thi, nabz chali thi
Mayushi ki jhilli aankhon se utri kuch lamhon ko
Phir teri awaaz ko, aakhri baar "Khuda hafiz"
Keh ke jate dekha tha
Ek sannata bhara hua hai
Jism ke is gubbare mein
Tere aakhri phone ke baad

--Gulzar
