Ghazal

Irfan sahib, aap ki yeh ghazal mujhe aap ke diigar taazah kalaam se zara alag lagi. is meN har sh'er ek 'independent thouhgt' rakhtaa hai, aur ruk kar sochne par majbuur kartaa hai. Nice. Thanks.

Too much testing!

True.

pareshaaN zihn aur bikhraa huaa ghar
husuul-e-maal kaa anjaam kyaa hai!

Irfan sahib, yeh voh she'r hai jo ek baar paRhne par mujhe yaad ho gaya thaa, aur pichhle ek hafte se mere zehn meN ghuum rahaa hai. Every time I go into my closet, I think, too many shoes, too many purses, too much of everything. I quit counting after 60 shoes and 30 purses! Oh and who can use over 50 lipsticks, especially on perpetually masked lips?!
All right sir, your she'r got me thinking, it is 'Fall cleaning' time! :-)
See, what unexpected good your poetry is doing! :-))

As long as the unintended consequences are positive, I am fine. :)

samajhnaa chaahiye insaaN ko ab to

Trying to understand.

You are at least trying. Some people don't even try. :)

mire aage kahaaN aayaa vuh, saaqii
maiN kyaa jaanuuN Khushii kaa jaam kyaa hai

Your 'vuh' again! It took me a few seconds to absorb that this time around it is 'Khushii kaa jaam'. Irfan sahib, this is the third time it has happened to me while reading your recent kalaam. Is it just me, or is this something to think about??

If you keep the context in mind, things might be a little clearer to you. If 'vuh' is the only subject mentioned and the she'r doesn't further elaborate it, chances are it refers to the mehboob/ma'shooq. That's not the case here. The meaning of the she'r is 'how can I tell what what happiness feels like when I never experienced it (vuh.)'

isii ko kehte haiN kyaa ishq, ai dil
yih bechainii sii sub'h-o-shaam kyaa hai?

Not necessarily, could be something totally unrelated! :-)

For those suffering from high blood pressure, may be. :)

ye kehte kehte aa pahuNchaa kahaaN maiN
ki raah-e-ishq meN ik gaam kyaa hai

Yup, one milestone at a time.
There is no 'manzil', so enjoy the journey. :)

Not sure if you got the meaning so please let me elaborate. What's being said is 'I didn't see much risk in taking just one step on this path, but see where I am now!'

I will ask. 'vuh' kyaa hai Irfan sahib?

Some things are prettier when they are hidden. :)

ziyaadah se ziyaadah chaNd sikke
mataa-e-fan kaa :Abid: daam kyaa hai

Well, the real 'daam' is 'daad', jo ek baar phir haazir hai, qubuul kiijiye.

navaazish, karam, shukriya, mehrbaani!
