कौन सी अंजुमन है.. (Kaun sii anjuman hai...)

कौन सी अंजुमन है.. कौन सा ये दयार
ये कहाँ आगया मैं.. दिल बंजारे बता

शहर की अब-ओ-हवा... खाली खाली सा समा
एक से रास्ते.. महल बेरंग से
बस है आवारापन.. क्या मेरी दास्ताँ
पक्की सड़कों पे क्या... बनते है नक़्श-ए-पा

कौन सी अंजुमन है.. कौन सा ये दयार
ये कहाँ आगया मैं.. दिल बंजारे बता

रात की नाज़-ओ-अदा... हर नज़र में है नशा
झूमते है बदन.. मैं यहां अजनबी
बेचकर मैं जूनून.. पीगया बेखुदी
हाय जाने कहाँ.. रहगयी ज़िंदगी

कौन सी अंजुमन है.. कौन सा ये दयार
ये कहाँ आगया मैं.. दिल बंजारे बता

kaun sii anjuman hai, kaun saa ye dayaar
ye kahaan aagaayaa mai, dil banjaare bataa

shehar kii aab-o-hawaa, khaali khaali samaa
ek se raaste, mehel be-rang se
bas hai aawaarapan, kyaa merii daastaan
pakki saDkon pe kyaa, bante hai naqsh-e-paa

kaun sii anjuman hai, kaun saa ye dayaar
ye kahaan aagaayaa mai, dil banjaare bataa

raat kii naaz-o-adaa, har nazar mein hai nashaa
jhoomte hai badan, mai yahaan ajnabii
bech kar mai junoon, peegayaa bekhudii
haaye jaane kahaan, rehgayii zindagii

kaun sii anjuman hai, kaun saa ye dayaar
ye kahaan aagaayaa mai, dil banjaare bataa

... season of light songs these days, no heavy poetry :)

Hey Ajay, I was wondering how I can get involved with blogswara. I'd be interested in contributing lyrics, in Hindi.

Ajay, me again with my babbling :)

Questions/comments:
1. "Pakki sadkon pe.." is an "ista'ara" - an anology. What does it signify?
2. The two "bandh" (stanzas) seem to be conflicting. The first one shows a desserted atmosphere while the second one shows one that is full of life and only the person feeling desserted. Is that intentional?

Again, andaz-e-bayan (way to express) is very effective.
