Gazals "The Finest Ever"

chitthi na koi sandesh

Chithhi na koyi sandesh
chithhi na koi sandesh
Jaane woh kaun sa desh jaha tum chale gaye
Chithhi na koyi sandesh
Jaane woh kaun sa desh jaha tum chale gaye
Chithhi na koyi sandesh
Jaane woh kaun sa desh jaha tum chale gaye
Jaha tum chale gaye
Is dil pe laga ke thhes jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jaha tum chale gaye...

Ek aah bhari hogi hamne na suni hogi
Jaate jaate tumne awaaz to di hogi
Har waqt yehi hai gham, us waqt kaha the hum
Kaha tum chale gaye
Chithhi na koi sandesh jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jaha tum chale gaye jaha tum chale gaye
Is dil pe laga ke thhes jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jaha tum chale gaye...

Har cheez pe ashkon se likha hai tumhaara naam
Ye raste ghar galiyaan tumhe kar na sake salaam
Hai dil mein reh gayi baat, jaldi se chhuda kar haath
Kaha tum chale gaye
Chithhi na koi sandesh jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jaha tum chale gaye jaha tum chale gaye
Is dil pe laga ke thhes jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye...

Ab yaadon ke kaante is dil mein chubhte hain
Na dard thhaherta hai na aanson rukte hain
Tumhe dhhundhh raha hai pyaar, hum kaise karein iqraar
Kaha tum chale gaye
Chithhi na koi sandesh jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jaha tum chale gaye jaha tum chale gaye
Is dil pe laga ke thhes jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye...
Ho kahan tum chale gaye -3
 
jhuki jhuki si nazar

Jhuki Jhuki Si Nazar
zookeen zookeen see najar bekaraar hain ke nahee
dabaa dabaa saa sahee dil mein pyaar hain ke nahee
too apane dil kee jawaan dhadakanon ko gin ke
bataameree tarah teraa dil bekaraar hain nahee
wo pal ke jis mein mohabbat jawaan hotee hain
us ik pal kaa tuze intajaar hain ke naheen
teree ummeed pe thhukaraa rahaa hoo duniyaan ko
tuze bhee apane pe ye ayetabaar hain ke naheen

रात भर आपकी याद...

आपकी याद, आती रही रात भर,
चस्म-ए-नाम मुस्कुराती रही,
रात भर आपकी याद आती रही...

रात भर दर्द की शम्मा जलती रही,
गम की लौ थर्थारती रही, रात भर...

बांसुरी की सुरीली सुहानी सदा,
याद बन बन के आती रही, रात भर..

याद के चाँद दिल में उतरते रहे,
चाँदनी जगमागाती रही, रात भर....

कोई दीवाना गलियों में फिरता रहा,
कोई आवाज़ आती रही, रात भर...

'मखदूम'
 
तेरे कदमों पे सर होगा...

A very gorgeous gazal, each sh'er is unique and polished.


तेरे कदमों पे सर होगा, क़ज़ा सर पे खडी होगी;
फिर उस सजदे का क्या कहना, अनोखी बंदगी होगी
.

नशीमे सुबह गुलशन में गुलों से खेलती होगी,
किसी की आखिरी हिचकी किसी की दिल्लगी होगी.


दिखा दूंगा सरे महफ़िल बता दूंगा सर-ए-मह्सर,
वो मेरे दिल में होंगे और दुनिया देखती होगी.


मज़ा आ जायेगा मह्कशी में फिर से सुनने सुनाने का,
जुबां होगी वहाँ मेरी कहानी आपकी होगी
.

तुम्हे तानिश्ता महफ़िल में जो देखा हो तो मुजरिम हूँ,
नज़र आखिर नज़र है बे'इरादा उठ गयी होगी.
 
I was to post kabhi Kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai....from Film Kabhi Kabhi. Than I realized that perhaps it is not a Ghazal. What you guys think?

Anyways I googled the definition og a Ghazal and found very important information that i would like to share with all so that the thread on Ghazal doesn't deviate from its basic requirements.




What is a Ghazal?

Ghazal in short, is a collection of Sher's which follow the rules of
'Matla', 'Maqta', 'Beher', 'Kaafiyaa' and 'Radif'. So to know what
Ghazal is, it's necessary to know what these terms mean.

To understand these terms easily , we will take an example.

1. koi ummid bar nahin aati
koi surat nazar nahin aati
2. aage aati thi haale dil par hasi
ab kisi baat par nahin aati
3. hum wahan hain, jahan se humko bhi
kucch hamaari khabar nahin aati
4. kaabaa kis muh se jaaoge 'Ghalib'
sharm tumko magar nahin aati

What is a Sher ?
It's a poem of two lines. This definition is deceptively simple.
Please note that, every Sher is a poem in itself ! A Sher does not
need, anything around it, to convey the message.
All the 4 stanzas in our example are independent poems, Sher's.


So Ghazal is necessarily a collection of two-line-poems called Sher.
[ So the Rafi solo "rang aur noor ki baaraat kise pesh karu" is NOT
a Ghazal, as every stanza is of 3 lines, and not 2. ]

What are other restrictions ? Many, and important ones.
[ Any collection of Sher's is not Ghazal. Some good examples are ; the
famous Mukesh song from Yehoodi, "yeh mera deewaanaapan hai" ; and the
title song of "dil apana aur preet parayi". Each stanza in these songs
can be considered as an independent Sher, but they are NOT Ghazal's.
To understand, why, we have to wait till 'Kaafiyaa, 'Radif'. ]


What is 'Beher' ?
'Beher' is the 'meter' of the Sher's. It can be considered as the
length of the Sher. Both the lines in the Sher *MUST* be of
same 'Beher'. And all the Sher's in one Ghazal *MUST* be of the
same 'Beher'. There are 19 (!!) kinds of 'Beher'. But in simple terms,
'Beher' is categorized in 3 classes. Short, medium, long.
[ The examples in [] are my additions, from Hindi Films. ]

Small :
ahale dairo-haram reh gaye
tere deewane kam reh gaye
[ Also Talat song, "dil-e-nadan tuze hua kya hai" ]

Medium :
umr jalwo me basar ho, ye zaruri to nahin
har shab-e-gam ki seher ho, ye zaruri to nahin
[ And by Gulzar, "ruke ruke se kadam, ruk ke baar baar chale" ]

Long :
ai mere humnashin, chal kahin aur chal, is chaman me ab apanaa guzaaraa nahin
baat hoti gulon ki, to seh lete hum, ab to kaaton pe bhi haq hamaaraa nahin
[ The filmfare winner, "Manzile apani jagah hai" !! Yes ! It IS a Ghazal.
And the Shayar is Prakash Mehra !! surprise , surprise !! ]


So Ghazal is a collection of Sher's of SAME 'Beher'.


What is 'Radif' ?
In a Ghazal, second line of all the Sher's *MUST* end with the *SAME*
word/s. This repeating common words is the 'Radif' of the Ghazal.

In our example, the 'Radif' is "nahin aati".

[ Sometimes, the Ghazal becomes known by its 'Radif'. eg. "jaraa
aahista chal" sung by Pankaj Udhas. On RMIM we all know one Ghazal by
the 'Radif' as "aahista aahista", don't we ? or is it 2 or 3 ? :-) ]


What is 'Kaafiyaa' ?
'Kaafiyaa' is the rhyming pattern which all the words before 'Radif'
*MUST* have.

In our example the 'Kaafiyaa' is "bar", "nazar", "par", "magar" etc.
This is a necessary requirement. Something which is followed even in
the exceptions to all these rules.


So Ghazal is a collection of Sher's of same 'Beher', ending in same
'Radif' and having same 'Kaafiyaa'.
[ That's the reason, why "yeh mera diwanapan hai" etc. are NOT Ghazals.
There is no common thing which can be called 'Kaafiyaa' and 'Radif'. ]

What is 'Matla' ?
The first Sher in the Ghazal *MUST* have 'Radif' in its both lines.
This Sher is called 'Matla' of the Ghazal and the Ghazal is usually
known after its 'Matla'. There can be more than one 'Matla' in a
Ghazal. In such a case the second one is called 'Matla-e-saani' or
'Husn-e-matla'.
In our example, the first Sher is the 'Matla'.

What is 'Maqta' ?
A Shayar usually has an alias ie. 'takhallus' eg. Mirza Asadullakhan
used 'Ghalib' as his 'takhallus' and is known by that. Other examples
are 'Daag' Dehlvi, 'Mir' Taqi Mir, Said 'Rahi', Ahmed 'Faraz' etc.
There is a Sher in a Ghazal, the last one, which has the Shayar's
'takhallus' in it.
[ A Shayar, can use the 'Maqta' very intelligently. He can "talk to
himself" like one in our example. I have lots of favourite Sher's
which are 'Maqta' of some Ghazal. Some gems are
koi nam-o-nishan puchhe to ai kaasid bataa denaa,
takhallus 'Daag' hai, aur aahiqon ke dil me rehte hai
and
jab bhi milte hain, to kehte hain, "kaise ho 'Shakil'",
iske aage to koi baat nahin hoti hai
The first one uses the meaning of the 'takhallus' to create the
magic, and the second one is just simple, simply beautiful. ]


To summarize, Ghazal is a collection of Sher's (independent two-line
poems), in which there is atleast one 'Matla', one 'Maqta' and all
the Sher's are of same 'Beher' and have the same 'Kaafiyaa' and
'Radif'.
 
ज़ाहिद शराब पीने दे, मस्जिद में बैठ के
या वो जगह बता दे जहाँ पर ख़ुदा न हो



Can any one complete this one.....???

जी लगता ना तेरे बिना


गेल चलुंगी, गेल चलुंगी, गेल चलुंगी
जी लगता ना तेरे बिना
में ते मर ली तेरे बिना

में गेल चलुंगी ...

जल बिन काई सूनी , हाकिम बिना दवाई सूनी
मरदां बिना लुगाई सूनी , सूनी से छात मंडेर बिना
में ते मर ली तेरे बिना, हाय गेल चलुंगी
जी लगता ना तेरे बिना

बादल बिन घनघोर घटा ना बनी में एकला मोर रह ना
चन्दा बिना चकोर रह ना , चोर रहना अंधेरे बिना
गेल चलुंगी , गेल चलुंगी, गेल चलुंगी
जी लगता ना तेरे बिना ....

तेरी मेरी जोड़ी अलग पटेनातेरे बिना मेरी रेन कटे ना
शाम रह ना सबेरे बिना में ते मरली तेरे बिना
जी लगता ना तेरे बिना



Lather ji Aap to Haryane ki Shaan hein , iss liye aaj aapne ade bhi laaj rakh li, saara deen hogya tha google kar kai thak liya tha koi Haryanvi ghazal na pai.
Bhagwaan aap ko lambi umar aur derr saar honsla de aur aap haryane ki sanskriti ke prachar prassar mein yon hi lage rahen.
 
Bravo!!!!!

Touching..Its nt great to sing in given format of elegant urdu vocabulary but it is defintely greater to sing in local language and make use of local comman words and turning it in to heart soothing melody.Excellent !!Sonia needs an applaude as it is evident from cheering sound from crowd.Deswal sir thanks a lot to notice my funny but crazzy idea.

Cool Jit, its not that dangerous as you assumed rather its too sweet to drown in it.

I really wonder Why Anoop hasnt posted it here being the active member of this site but he deserves a great thumb up.As we dont have our own script but this new form would definitely is encouraging.


Vijay, now its your turn to accept the challange buddy!!

One of my all time favs....

कोई ये कैसे बताये के वो तनहा क्यूँ है
वो जो अपना था वही और किसी का क्यूँ
यही दुनिया है तो फिर ऐसी ये दुनिया क्यूँ है
यही होता है तो आखिर यही होता क्यूँ है?


एक ज़रा हाथ बढ़ा दें तो पकड़ लें दामन
उसके सीने में समां जाए हमारी धड़कन
इतनी कुरबत है तो फिर फासला इतना क्यूँ है?

दिल से बरबाद से निकला नहीं अब तक कोई
एक लुटे घर पे दिया करता है दस्तक कोई
आस जो टूट गयी हैं तो फिर से बंधाता क्यूँ है?


तुम मस्सरत का कहो या इसे गम का रिश्ता
कहते हैं प्यार का रिश्ता है जन्म का रिश्ता
है जन्म का जो ये रिश्ता तो बदलता क्यूँ है?
 
too nahin to zindagi mein aur kya reh jaayega
door tak tanhaaeeyon ka silsila reh jaayega

dard ki saari tahe aur saare guzre haadse
sab dhooan ho jaayenge ik faakeya reh jaayega

yun bhee hoga wo mujhe dil se bhula dega maGar
ye bhee hoga khud usee mein ik khala reh jaayega

daayre inkaar ke iqraar kee sargoshiyaan
ye agar toote kabhee to faaslaa reh jaayega
 
Mujhse milne ke woh karta tha bahaney kitne
Ab guzarega mere saath zamaney kitne
Muhse milne ke....

Mai gira tha to bohot log rukke the lekin
Sochta hoon mujhe aaye the uthaney kitne
Ab guzarega....

Jis tarah maine tujhe apna bana rakha hai
Sochte hongey yahi baat na ane kitney
Ab guzarega....

Tum naya zakhm na do tumhe iss se kya hai
Bharney wale hain abhi zakhm puraney kitney

Ab guzarega mere sath zamaney kitney
Mujhse milne ke woh karta tha bahaney kitney
 
Apna Gham- Insight

This is one of my fev.- Lyrics: Nida Fazli

Apna gham le ke kahin aur na jaaya na jaye
ghar mein bikhri huee cheezon ko sajaaya jaye


jin chiragon ko hawaon ka koi khauf nahin
un chiragon ko hawaon se bachaya jaye


ghar mein bikhri huee cheezon ko sajaaya jaye
Apna gham le ke kahin aur na jaaya na jaye

baag mein jaanay ke aadaab hua karte hain
kisi titlee ko na phoolon say udaya jaye


ghar se masjid hai bahut door chalo yun kar le
kisi rote huye bachay ko hansaya jaye


ghar mein bikhri huee cheezon ko sajaaya jaye
apna gham le ke kahin aur na jaaya na jaye..
 
Too gud...is there any online link where i can listen the same.

Mujhse milne ke woh karta tha bahaney kitne
Ab guzarega mere saath zamaney kitne
Muhse milne ke....

Mai gira tha to bohot log rukke the lekin
Sochta hoon mujhe aaye the uthaney kitne
Ab guzarega....

Jis tarah maine tujhe apna bana rakha hai
Sochte hongey yahi baat na ane kitney
Ab guzarega....

Tum naya zakhm na do tumhe iss se kya hai
Bharney wale hain abhi zakhm puraney kitney

Ab guzarega mere sath zamaney kitney
Mujhse milne ke woh karta tha bahaney kitney
 
Lyrics : Mirza Gaalib

हर एक बात पे कहते हो तुम, कि तू क्या है?
तुम ही कहो कि ये अंदाज-ए-गुफ्तगू क्या है?
रगों में दोड़ते फिरने के हम नहीं कायल
जब आँख ही से ना टपका तो फिर लहू क्या है?
चिपक रहा है बदन पर लहू से पैराहन
हमारी जेब को अब हाजत-ए-रफू क्या है?
जला है जिस्म जहाँ, दिल भी जल गया होगा
कुरेदते हो जो अब राख, जुस्तजू क्या है?
रही ना ताकत-ए-गुफ्तार और हो भी
तो किस उम्मीद पे कहिये कि, आरजू क्या है?
 
ज़ाहिद शराब पीने दे, मस्जिद में बैठ के
या वो जगह बता दे जहाँ पर ख़ुदा न हो


Can any one complete this one.....???


बहुत खूब डाक्टर साहिबा :)
 
Aawargi: Lyrics by Mohsin Naqvi:


e dil ye pagal dil mera kyon bujh gaya aawargi
is dasht mein ik shahar tha vo kya hua aawargi

kal shab mujhe be-shakl si aawaaz ne chaunka diya
main ne kaha tu kaun hai usne kahaa aawargi

ik ajnabi jhonke ne jab pucha mere gam ka sabab
sahara ki bheegi ret par main ne likha aawargi

bohto khoob deshwal jee.. yeh meri bhi fav hai...

ये दिल, ये पागल दिल मेरा, क्यों बुझ गया, आवारगी
इस दश्त में इक शहर था, वो क्या हुआ, आवारगी
कल शब मुझे बे-शक्ल सी, आवाज ने चोंका दिया
मैने कहा तू कौन है, उसने कहा, आवारगी
एक तू की सदियों से मेरे, हमराह भी हमराज भी
एक मय की तेरे नाम से, ना आशना, आवारगी
ये दर्द की तन्हाईया, ये दश्त का वीराँ सफर
हम लोग तो उकता गए, अपनी सुना, आवारगी
एक अजनबी झोंके ने जब पूछा मेरे गम का सबब
सहरा की भीगी रेत मे, मैने लिखा, आवारगी
ले अब तो दश्त-ऐ-शब्ब की, सारी वुसातें सोने लगी
अब जागना होगा हमे कब तक बता, आवारगी
कल रात तन्हा चाँद को, देखा था मैने ख्वाब मे
मोहसिन मुझे रास आ गयी शायद सदा, आवारगी
