A very special and divine song...Elements....

 

Sharing a song that is one of the lesser-known songs of the well-known Indian pop band, "A Band of Boys" of the 90s era...This particular song is not just a regular song, but a sublime deep poetry that revokes the fragrance of the ocean, its breeze, and the scent of longing and finally the meeting of the Beloved....

The song can be heard at this link: Elements (Aayi Ho Jabse)

The lyrics are as follows:

(Note the paragraph of lyrics in red are especially too close to my heart...such a depth of words...)

"Guzre the kitne saawan baadalon ki taak main,

Sookhi padi thi shaakhein berehem dhoop main,

Teri ankhon se jo chalka boondon ka Silsila

 

Chhota sa gul hai khila

Aayi ho jabse tum,

Dil ko mere kya hua

Banjar zameen par jaise

Chhota sa gul khila

 

Reton main dabi hui

Nadiyon ki cheekh ko

Sangam se bichdi trishna

Tarsi jo preet ko,

Saagar ki shokhiyon se

Shankhon ka sur mila

Chhota sa gul khila

 

Jeene ki justajoo

Saawan ki bheeni Khushboo

Sardi ki dhoop ho

Banjar zameen par mere

Chhota sa gul khila..."

Beautiful Shayaris-2

 

Sharing some shayaris selected from the internet by various poets which I find particularly moving and quite deep...

Here are few of them:

1.  The first one literally goes deep in the tarjuma of what shayari is- almost an attempt from an amazing poet...Ahmed Salman...The shayari lines are below:

"jo dikh raha usi ke andar jo andikha hai vo shayari hai

jo keh saka tha vo keh chuka hoon, jo rah gaya hai vo shayari hai

ye shahr saara to roshni men khila pada hai, so kya likhun main

vo door jangal ki jhonpdi men jo ik diya hai, vo shayari hai

tamam dariya jo ek samundar mein gir rahe hain to kya ajab hai

vo ek dariya jo raste men hi rah gaya hai, vo shayari hai...."

And the link of the poet reciting it is:

2. Another one whose recitation by the poet is available here:

The actual lines are as follows:

"dekhe huye kisi ko bahut din guzar gaye

is dil ki bebasi ko bahut din guzar gaye

har shab chhaton pe chaand utarta to hai magar,

is ghar mein channdni ko bahut din guzar gaye....

3. This one is short yet is quite true...

"aahista aahista khatam.. hona hi hai

gam ko ya fir..hum ko...."

4. This one by poet Shakeb Jalali is particularly close to me...

"socho to silvaton se bhari hai tamaam rooh

dekho to ik shikan bhi nahin hai libaas mein"

 सोचो तो सिलवटों से भरी है तमाम रूह

देखो तो इक शिकन भी नहीं है लिबास में

-Shakeb Jalali

Beautiful Shayari-1

 

Sharing a couple of  beautiful and heart-touching Shayaris from internet: 

1. Here is the link of its recitation:

टूटना 💔Podcast Shayari #shayari #2linespoetry #urdupoetry #podcastshayari

the lines of the Shayari are as follows from the recitation:

"tootne par koi aaye to fir aise toote,

ke jise dekh ke har dekhne wala toote,

apne bikhre huye tukdon ko samete kab tak,

apne bikhre huye tukdon ko samete kab tak,

ek insaan ki khatir koi kitna toote?....."

2.  Another one, sharing some stanzas which I find especially too deep and beautiful:

"हक़ीक़त दीदा-ए- तर के अलावा भी बहुत कुछ है
समुंदर में समुंदर के अलावा भी बहुत कुछ है...

अब अगली बार आना तो बदन को छोड़ कर आना
मेरे कमरे में बिस्तर के अलावा भी बहुत कुछ है...

ये क्या इक मक़बरे को आख़री हद मान बैठे हो
मुहब्बत संग-ए-मरमर के अलावा भी बहुत कुछ है"

- ज़ुबैर अली ताबिश 

3. Another one- can be heard here at this link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGYKMr3pU4u/?igsh=MWhwY2ZieDlsOTFieQ%3D%3D

"kisi ko mohabbat ho na kisi ke saath 

hota mushqil hai 

bada mushqil hai..

mohabbat ki kahani likhna

jaise pani par.. pani se.. pani likhna...

mohabbat dard deti hai,

mohabbat jaan leti hai,

mohabbat naam e zindagi hai,

magar imtehaan leti hai

mohabbat to hoti

apni tabiyat aur fitrat hai,

mohabbat zid nahi karti,

mohabbat maan leti hai."
