Ghazal...

This is a small and honest effort by me to write a ghazal... i hope u like it and i am looking forward for your critical remarks to improve upon it in future. :)
For all my blogger friends who dont know Hindi, just leave me ur email, and i will send u an translated version, though i dont know how much sense it will make...




तू है एक हसीं नगमा
जिसे गुनगुनाने को जी चाहता है
तू है वो हँसी
जिसे होठों पे लाने को जी चाहता है

तेरा हँसना
मुस्कुराना
सितम है जालिम
फिर भी तुझे अजमाने को
जी चाहता है

तेरी चूड़ी
तेरी पायल का खनकना जालिम
दिल के हर जर्रे पर
सितम धाता है

तेरे हँसने की खनक
तेरे चेहरे की अदा
तेरा चुप रहके भी
सब कह जाना

तेरा चलना
चलके थमना
फिर यूं इतराना
हाय जालिम
क़यामत का जैसे मंजर हो...

तेरे आने की आहट
पर भी हम मरते हैं
तुझसे ऐ हमदम कहें कैसे
कितना हम डरते हैं

हँसते हँसते तेरे सब जुल्म
यूं सहेंगे हमदम
तेरी बस अदाओं के सहारे
जी लेंगे हम...

ohh but why is it untitled i wonder??

p.s: ohh translating it wouldent be much fun..it would spoil it dont u think??

Ankur said...

@Pri
u chane ke jhad par chahofy me... i know :D
yeah... there is this inspiration who is anamika, cant name her here... waise i dont know she reads my blogs or not... not sure :p

well, hindi is my jaan... guess someone strike the chord of asking me to write one, and i am completely in the mold of writing in hindi as of now :P

Take CAre :)

P.S. i know it will, but there are friends, for them, anything :)

Pri said...

@ ankur
hmm then u should really get her to read this...if u want can drop her a mail on ur behalf if shes around :p
ohh and yess...ur absolutely right...thats what friends are for! :)

Keshi said...

Im not sure if I can read that..lol!

But im sure its lovely...comin from someone as talented as u r.

Keshi.

Ankur said...

@Pri
well she has already, she knows shes the inspiration, she approved it and thats the reason u see it here, she doesnt wanted me to answer few questions, so i guess her name wont be there, ever!!!

but still, i have asked a friend if i can dedicate it to her, and she said yes, she is getting married on 13th April... so guess this will be a gift to her, and conincidentally she shares the same name... :P

Ankur said...

@keshi

u cant i know keshi, still thanks for dropping by a comment. but believe me ask someone to translate that for u... it will sound wonderful!!! :D

hehe, and dont think of me too highly, i dont want to disappoint u (in case if u r not tryin to pull my leg :D)!!

Thnxx
Take CAre

Nicks said...

Amazing attempt... Very lucid and easy writing. Something which anyone would want to read at the end of a tired day but somehow i dont wanna call it a ghazal. I cannot understand why but it does not seem like a ghazal. It is a different genre jiska naam abhi mujhe yaad nahi aa raha hai :P maybe poetry but not ghazal. Something seems missing. but excellent fo someone who has always been writing in English. :) Congrats...

Ankur said...

@Praks

thanks re... and as u have told me, this attempt is better when compared to ankur, i guess the best compliment u have given me so far... :)

well, i dont know, whats this, i thought of it as a ghazal so gave it the name of a ghazal :)

if u find some other name, then do temme ;)

and thanks again... when its coming from its always special...

Cheers
Take Care

and Good luck and wishes for ur new future :)

Hitesh said...

hi..

I found it ok..nothing great..but as you said it is your first attempt, in that sense it is a great start..

My comment is from the perspective of a reader. I dont write poems or ghazals and hence, dont know/understand the nuances of this kind of writing..but you dont have to be director or actor of the movie to appericiate or enjoy it..

जी लेंगे हम..."

Cinderella said...

Hey,
Can you plz ignore that comment yaar. I dint intend to publish it, galti se ho gaya. I'm sure he wrote that for fun...

And I dint publish yours for not wanting to create any misgvings.

Can we take it as mature individuals and ignore some silly comments made in jest ?

Now you need the "tera" to feel in the slot of emotions....or was it directed to some???

Cinderella said...

Thank you.

I'll take utmost care while publishing my comments now.
