Aarz Kiya Hai V

SHARAABI SHAYARI, A COMPILATION:

Sharaab dhard ki dawaa hai,
Peene se koi khiraabi nahin,
Dil ke dhard se peete hai hum,
Vaise tho hum sharaabi nahin.

Nasha hum karte hai, iljaam sharaab ko diya jaata hai.
Iss mein sharaab ka kya kasoor hai?
Kasoor tho unka hai,
Jinka chehra har jaam mein nazar aata hai.

Peene ko peeye ja rehe hai hum,
Jeene ko jiye ja rehe hai hum.
Koi ah kar bitaye ga mere mehboob ko.
Kabhi jeene ki vaja thay vo.
Aaj peeye ja rehe hai,
Vaja bhi vo, saja bhi vo.

Fuck Vday.

Mohabbat ke zamane guzar ghey janaab,
Aab chotey motey pyar se kaam chalalein ghey aap?

Aarz Kiya Hai IV.

This is what I found scribbled in my DAT book under some Plant Life Cycle notes:

Roney de aaj humko,
Dho aakhein sujaney de.
Bahon mein le le,
Aur khud ko bheeg janey de.

Hai seeney mein kaid dariya
Vo chuut jahey ga.
Hai itna dhard
Ke tera damaan bheeg jahey ga.

TRANSLATION:
Let me cry today
Until my eyes do swell.
Take me in your arms
And allow yourself to be drenched.

The ocean inprisoned in my chest
Will set itself free.
I'm overcome with so much pain,
That you indeed will be drenched.

Ok, I'm not an emotional mess. Dard-e-Shayari is written in such colorful language, that I can't help appreciate it.

But speaking of DAT books, its time to stop blogging and get back to studying! <3

Aarz Kiya Hai III.

Today, my poet of choice is Abdul Rahim Khan-e-Khana. He was famous during the time of the Mughal emperor Akbar in the late 1500s. I absolutely love his Hindi couplets (Dohas).

Rahiman dhaga prem ka, mat todo chatkay
Toote se phir na jude, jude gaanth pad jaye.
TRANSLATION:
Says Rahim, don't allow the delicate thread of love (between individuals) to snap. For once it snaps, it cannot be rejoined. And if rejoin it, will forever bear a knot.

Bade badai na karain, bade na bole bol
Rahiman heera kab kahe lakh taka mero mol.
TRANSLATION:
"The truly great never reveal their worth. Nor do those who are truly worthy of praise, praise themselves. Says Rahim, like a diamond, he never feels the need to brag that he's worth millions."

Rahiman dekhi baden ko, laghu na dije daari
Jahan kaam aawe sui, kaha kare talwari.
TRANSLATION:
"Says Rahim, do not spurn the trivial seeing the weighty. When you need a sewing needle, of what use a sword?"

Rahiman ya tan soop hai leejeeaye jagat pachhor
Harikan ko udijan dey garuay rakhee bator.
TRANSLATION:
“Says, Rahim, this mind (body) is like a sieve; sort your friends out through it. Let the light (bad) ones and go (fly in the wind) and carefully keep the heavy (good) ones.”

Kheera mukh te kaatye, maliyat laun lagye
Rahiman karue mukh ko chahiyat eehi sazaye.
TRANSLATION:
"To cure a bitter cucumber, we cut its head off and rub in salt. Says Rahim to cure a bitter mouth we should make use of the same remedy."

Je Rahim uttam prakrati, ka kari sakat kusung
Chandan vish vyapat nahi, liptat rahat bhujang.
TRANSLATION:
"Says Rahim, How will evil corrupt, he who has an excellent character? After all does the sandalwood become poisonous by having snakes lie around its trunk?"

Kahee Rahim sampati sage, banat bahut bahu reet
Bipati kasoti je kase, te hi saanche meet.
TRANSLATION:
"Says Rahim, people will find many many ways to be related to fortune. But only he is a true friend, who stands by you in misfortune."

So the Blog name is ABCD Shayari and I had yet to post up some shayari (poetry). Well here is one of my favorite of all time:

Jis din se judah vo humse hua
Is dil ne dharkna chor diya.
Hai chaand ka mooh utra utra,
Taaro ne chamakna chor diya.
Vo saath humare hota tha
Berut hi bahar ah jaati thi.
Ab laakh baharein bhi ahey
Phoolon ne mehakna chor diya.
Ik din duaa maangi humne,
"Takdir humari badal de ay Malak."
Awaaz yehi ahi ke:
"Humne takdir badalna chor diya."

TRANSLATION:
Since the moment he was separated from me
My heart gave up on beating.
The moon’s face is now colorless and sad,
The stars have given up shining.
When he used to be with me,
It would be a beautiful, endless spring.
Now even when spring comes,
Flowers have given up smelling lovely.
One day I asked in a prayer,
"Oh Lord, have mercy and change my destiny"
The only response I received from above was,
"I have given up changing destinies."

I know, It's pretty emo, but very fitting of the gloomy weather today.
