Tarqash - III

Okay! The final post on Tarqash ..... some more 'ashaar' ...
Two of these ashaar are from a ghazal [Mujhko yaqii.n hai] that has been sung by Jagjit Singh, and has been very popular ... perhaps everyone who is interested in ghazals would have heard it, but I am still including these, because they are undoubtedly beatiful!

***

Aksar woh kahte hai.n woh bas mere hai.n
Aksar kyu.n kahte hai.n hairat hoti hai

Tab ham dono.n waqt chura kar laate the
Ab milte hai.n jab bhi fursat hoti hai

Apni mehbooba mei.n apni maa.n dekhei.n
Bin maa.n ke laDko.n ki fitrat hoti hai

***

Gairo.n ko kab fursat hai dukh dene ki
Jab hota hai koii hamdam hota hai

***

Mujhko yaqii.n hai sach kahti thii.n jo bhi ammi kahti thii.n
Jab mere bachpan ke din the chaand mei.n pariyaa.n rahti thii.n

Ek yeh ghar jis ghar mei.n mera saazo-saamaa.n rahta hai
Ek woh ghar jis ghar mei.n meri booDhi naani rahti thii.n

***

Agar palak pe hai moti to yeh nahi.n kaafi
Hunar bhi chaahiye alfaaz mei.n pirone ka

Jo fasl khwaab ki tayyaar hai to yeh jaano
Ki waqt aa gayaa phir koii dard bone ka

Tab ham dono.n waqt chura kar laate the
Ab milte hai.n jab bhi fursat hoti hai.

Ohhhhhhh!!! And I thought everyone enjoyed poetry :-D
Well, I am not sure about the intellectual part, but I think it is a thing of beauty. But if it does not interest you much, worry not, my dear friend. Will post something for you soon, hopefully on my travel blog. :-)

Hi,

All are simly beautiful, but the one which I found most intense was:

Jo fasl khwaab ki tayyaar hai to yeh jaano
Ki waqt aa gayaa phir koii dard bone ka

Thanks, these are wondeful.

@Ranjeet: Thanks. I am glad you liked it. Do take a look at other excerpts I posted from the collection. And if you are keen on poetry, well, I do keep posting a lot of poetry - mine as well as that of well known poets.
