gulmohor gar tumhara naam hota

this is a belated b'day post.... if you are wondering whose ... then it's of one of the finest poets of hindi that i've read.... though i admitted i haven't read much of hindi poetry but what ever little i've read i find this poet quite exceptional.... yes Gulzar Saab is the one i'm talking of, have you ever noticed how simple and yet soul stirring are the songs he writes.... this is a very rare quality not everyone can touch the chords of your soul with words as simple as his.....  i know his discography is a huge one to even attempt to mention, and i myself being a huge fan have got my own repertoire of his songs, where i can't just list one favourite because it is impossible ... but as a tribute to him today i would like to mention a song of his here which is not as famous as his most of the songs are.... like those from movie Aandhi... is mod se jaate hain kuch sust kadsam raste.. or the one like ... mera kuch saaman tumhare pass pada hai.... or some latest numbers like ...kajrare.... but here is a song which is no less beautiful and quite addictive... simple words and yet so beautiful.... they don't say it without reason that there is always a hidden beauty in simplicity..... this song proves it.... i got introduced to this song few years back on a flight, by the time the flight landed i was s hooked to it that first thing i did after getting access to internet was to download this song  ... give it a try it's worth it !

Gulmohar gar tumhara nam hota
 Mausame gul ko hasana bhee hamara kam hota
 
 Aayengee bahare toh abke unhe kehna jara itna sune
 Mere gul bina kaha unka bahar nam hota
 Gulmohar gar tumhara nam hota.......
 
 Sham ke gulabee se aanchal me ek diya jala hai chand kaa
 Mere unn bina kaha uska chand nam hota
 Gulmohar gar tumhara nam hota......

कई बार यूँही देखा है ये जो मन की सीमा रेखा है .... मन तोड़ने लगता है ...... अनजान प्यास के पीछे ....... अनजान आस के पीछे मन दौड़ने लगता है .....

me without us....

क्या हो जो तुम ना भी मिलो तो.....  जीना तो फिर भी है.... बस एक कमी रह जाएगी..... एक कसक बाकि रह जाएगी.... हर बार जब भी ख्यालों में आके मुस्कुराओगे तो आँखों में एक नमी सी आ जाएगी .... चलता है, ज़िन्दगी है जैसे भी चल ही लेगी .... क्या हुआ अगर थोडा कम हसेंगे तो ... और अगर थोडा ज्यादा रोए तो ..... ज़िन्दगी बेचारी भी कितना हिसाब रखे और ग़म और ख़ुशी बराबर बाटें .... थोड़े ज्यादा ग़म जान थोड़े ही लेंगे.... उनका भी अपना मज़ा है... सच पूछो तो पता नहीं क्यों ऐसा महसूस होता है की तुम्हारा ग़म भी हमे और बेहतर बनाता जा रहा है.....  वरना लोग खुद साथ रह कर भी कुछ अच्छा नहीं कर पाते और तुम तो जाते जाते भी हमे तरासे जा रहे हो..... जा तो रहे हो, पर जाने क्यों लगता है एक बार मुड़ कर देखोगे नज़र भर एक दिन.... और कदम खुद-ब-खुद वापस चल पड़ेंगे हमारी ओर.... और हम वही खड़े मुस्कुरा रहे होंगे जिंदगी को बाँहों में समेटे बिना किसी शिकायत के ... कोई शिकवा नहीं ना तुमसे ना जिंदगी से... क्या करे दोनों अपने हो और खुद से क्या गिला.... 

Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, to nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi 
         
Kaash aisa ho tere qadmo se, chun ke manzil chale aur kahi door kahi 
Tum gar saath ho, manzilon ki kami to nahi
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa to nahi 
         
Jee mein aata hai, tere daaman mein, sar jhuka ke ham rote rahe, rote rahe 
Teri bhi aankho mein, aansuo ki nami to nahi 

Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi,
shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, to nahi,
zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi 
         
Tum jo keh do to aaj ki raat, chaand doobega nahi, raat ko rok lo 
Raat ki baat hai, aur zindagi baaki to nahi 

Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi.....

that little pinching pain !

तुम्हे कोई और देखे तो जलता  है दिल , 
बड़ी मुश्किलों से फिर संभालता है दिल, 
क्या क्या  जतान  करते हैं तुम्हे क्या पता .....

Didn’t know an emotion, such a strong one can exist at such an age too. This is the problem with we human beings, we always are either underestimating things or overestimating them, hardly ever are we able to achieve that golden beam… that perfect balance…

Why do we feel we are beyond age for a particular thing…. Lately,I’ve been realizing it very frequently that, there is no age related boundaries for emotions, we actually are never too old to not to feel anything….

So, why am I being harsh on myself for feeling that little pang of jealousy…. why not just enjoy the moment when that fiery feeling rises up and clasps your heart for a moment and you feel the sharp pinch there…. And you realize how ardently you want that thing/person to be just yours… all yours !

ps: for people who think emotions like these spring up from the sense of insecurity….. well, mostly it does but, not always…. and it’s ok to feel this way at times… and let yourself go with the flow of emotions and enjoy it while it lasts… so couldn’t halp humming this song to myself…. J

Humein Tumse Pyaar Kitna Yeh Hum Nahin Jaante

Magar Jee Nahin Sakte Tumhaare Bina

Suna Gham Judaai Ka Uthaate Hai Log

Jaane Zindagi Kaise Bitaate Hai Log

Din Bhi Yahaan To Lage Baras Ke Samaan

Hume Intezaar Kitna Yeh Hum Nahin Jaante

Magar Jee Nahin Sakte Tumhaare Bina

Hume Tumse Pyaar

Tumhe Koyi Aur Dekhe To Jalta Hai Dil

Badi Mushkilon Se Phir Sambhalta Hai Dil

Kya Kya Jatan Karte Hai Tumhe Kya Pataa

Yeh Dil Beqraar Kitna Yeh Hum Nahin Jaante

Magar Jee Nahin Sakte Tumhaare Bina

Hume Tumse Pyaar Kitna Yeh Hum Nahin Jaante

Magar Jee Nahin Sakte Tumhaare Bina

Hume Tumse Pyaar
