रोज़ के हादसे (Roz Ke Haadse)
(Original poetry by @kaunquest)
रोज़ के हादसे आम वायदात है
कोई पड़ता नहीं ये वो अकबार है
कोई बैठा रहा राह तकता हुआ
और बुझता गया आज उसका दिया
अंधेरों में रोते आँखों का क्या
रौशनी में कहाँ इनकी पहचान है
पूछे किसका पता जो ही खुद लापता
नाम दो चार है और घर रास्ता
रास्तों मैं बिखरते बचपन का क्या
सिर्फ खोया हुआ कोई एहसास है
इन पर्दों के पीछे कई राज़ है
इक कहानी लिए सैकड़ों ज़ख्म है
इस रंगीन शहर में वफाओं का क्या
महज़ बेढंग सा एक अलफ़ाज़ है
बोझ उठती नहीं भूक मिटती नहीं
वक़्त रुकता नहीं उम्र कटती नहीं
भीड़ में रोज़ मिलते चेहरों का क्या
तुम ने पूछा नहीं आम इंसान है
(Original poetry by @kaunquest)
roz ke haadse, aam vaydaath hain
koi paDtaa nahin, yeh vo akbaar hai
koi baitaa raha raah taktaa hua
aur bujhtaa gaya aaj uskaa diya
andheron mein rote aankhon ka kya
raushnii mein kahaan, inki pehchaan hai
puuche kiska pataa jo hai khud laapataa
naam do chaar hain aur ghar raastaa
raaston mein bikharte bachpan ka kya
sirf khoya hua, koi ehsaas hai
in pardon ke peeche kai raaz hai
ik kahaani liye saikDon zakm hai
is rangeen shehar mein wafaaon ka kya
mehaz berang sa, ek alfaaz hai
bojh uT_taa nahin, bhuuk miT_tii nahin
waqt ruktaa nahin, umr kaT_tii nahin
Bheed mein roz milte chehron ka kya
tum ne puucha nahin, aam insaan hai

m reminded of an old film song...
ya dil ki sunoh duniyawalon
ya mujhko abhi chup rahne do
main gam ko khushi kaise keh doon
jo kehte hain unko kehne do.....
This is such a classic by Kaifi Azmi. The song, the scenes, everything is so captivating.
In those days, it was important for the songs to have quality lyrics. Those were days of the greats, my favorite is always Gulzar. ‘Tere bina zindagi se koi’, ‘Dil DoonDtha hai’,
‘Ek akela is shehar mein’ , ‘Akhiyon ke jharonkon se’ are all such magical songs.
Nowadays, poetry seems to have lost its relevance. The only torch bearer for good lyric is Javed Akthar. Yes, we still have some occasional ones from Gulzar. I don’t know, maybe its me just not paying enough attention anymore, or probably, no one is….
Sirf khoya hua, koi ehsaas hai"...it has scorn for the soulless cosmopolitianism as in,"Is rangeen shehar mein wafaaon ka kya
Mehaz berang sa, ek alfaaz hai" and lastly it has a feeling of extending attention to anonymity of a lay man...highly remniscient of the 70's socialistic hindi poetry....keep it coming...:)...DEpthful...!and yes dil doondhta hai and ek akela is seher main have no match!
I also do composing and singing.
Was looking for a good lyricist.
And my friend who is also a composer was looking for a good lyricist.
I am going to forward your blog to him.
Is it possible to have transliteration of your work
thanks
... all everyday disasters.
Followed your link thru ur comment on my blog.
I echo Jay's sentiments on the poem.Both the lines r my fav too.Will keep comin here.
Achcha not nit picking but when you say -"Bhojh uTtha nahin, bhuuk miTtha nahin"
I am assuming that by 'bhuuk' you mean hunger.If I am right technically it should be - bhuuk miTti nahi. As bhuuk is feminine and not a masculine.
Also enjoyed ur reminiscing with kay over Gulzar ji's beauties ...gems they are..gems.. ur observation rings true I'm afraid. I think javed akhtar is all we have left of classic romanticist poetry and mehboob, who writes some amazing lyrics as well:).
Everybody loves Gulzar :) His style is so different and unique. Just love it!
My listening skills have gone down very much over the recent years and I have not been giving much attention to any of the new songs (lyrics). I am probably missing out on some of the good stuff produced recently.
