मेरे लिए रात ने
आज फ़राहम* किया [faraaham=provide]
एक नया मरहला
नींदों ने ख़ाली किया
अश्कों से फ़िर भर दिया
कासा मेरी आँख का
और कहा कान में ...
मैंने हर एक जुर्म से
तुमको बरी कर दिया
मैंने सदा के लिए
तुमको रिहा कर दिया

जाओ जिधर चाहो तुम
जागो कि सो जाओ तुम
ख़्वाब का दर बंद है

शहरयार

mere liye raat ne
aaj faraaham kiyaa
ek nayaa marhala

niindoN ne khaalii kiyaa
ashkoN se phir bhar diyaa
kaasa merii aaNkh kaa
aur kahaa kaan meN

main.Ne har ek jurm se
tumko barii kar diyaa
main.Ne sadaa ke liye
tumko rihaa kar diyaa

jaao jidhar chaho tum
jaago ki so jaao tum
Khwaab ka dar band hai

Best couplets of Urdu poet Shaharyar

Shaharyar is one of the leading Urdu poets. Here is a selection of some of his famous couplets. It's a random selection of ash'aar:

उम्मीद से कम चश्म-ए-खरीदार में आये
हम लोग ज़रा देर से बाज़ार में आये

सभी को ग़म है समंदर के खुश्क होने का
कि खेल ख़त्म हुआ कश्तियाँ डुबोने का

न जिसकी शक्ल ही कोई न जिसका नाम ही कोई
एक ऎसी शक्ल का क्यूँ हमें अज़ल से इंतज़ार है

लोग सर फोड़ कर भी देख चुके
ग़म की दीवार टूटती ही नहीं

फिर कहीं ख्वाब-ओ-हकीक़त का तसादुम होगा
फिर कोई मंजिल-ए-बेनाम बुलाती है हमें

इस नतीजे पे पोहंचते हैं सभी आखिर में
हासिल-ए-सैर-ए-जहां कुछ नहीं हैरानी है

मरकज़-ए-दीदा-ओ-दिल तेरा तसव्वुर था कभी
आज इस बात पे कितनी हँसी आती है हमें

शहरयार

ummiid se kam chashm-i-khariidaar meN aaye
ham log zaraa der se baazaar meN aaye

sabhii ko gham hai samandar ke khushk hone kaa
ki khel khatm huaa kashtiyaaN Dubone kaa

na jiskii shakl hai koii na jiskaa naam hai koii
ek aisii shakl kaa kyuuN hameN azl se intezaar hai

phir kahiiN Khwaab-o-haqiiqat kaa tasaadum hogaa
phir koii manzil-e-benaam bulaati hai hameN

zindagii jaisii tavaqqo thii, nahiiN, kuchh kam hai
har ghaRii hotaa hai ehsaas kahiiN kuchh kam hai

log sar phoR kar bhii dekh chuke
gham kii diivaar TuuTtii hii nahiiN

is natiije pe pohaNchte haiN sabhii aaKhir meN
haasil-e-sair-e-jahaaN kuchh nahiiN hairaani hai

markaz-e-diida-o-dil teraa tasavvur thaa kabhii
aaj is baat pe kitni haNsii aati hai hameN

voh dekh lo, voh samandar khushk hone lagaa
jise thaa daava merii pyaas bujhaane kaa

zamiiN terii kashish khiiNchti rahii hamko
gaye zaruur the kuchh duur mahtaab ke सात

Shaharyar's ghazal: Zamin teri kashish khinchti rahi...

कटेगा देखिए दिन जाने किस अज़ाब के साथ
कि आज धूप नहीं निकली आफताब के साथ

तो फिर बताओ समंदर सदा को क्यूँ सुनते
हमारी प्यास का रिश्ता था जब सराब के साथ
[saraab=mirage]

बड़ी अजीब महक साथ ले के आई है
नसीम रात बसर की किसी गुलाब के

फिजा में दूर तक मरहबा के नारे हैं
गुजरने वाले हैं कुछ लोग याँ से ख्वाब के साथ

ज़मीन तेरी कशिश खींचती रही हमको
गए ज़रूर थे कुछ दूर माहताब के साथ

शहरयार

kaTegaa dekhiye din jaane kis azaab ke saath
ki aaj dhuup nahiiN niklii aaftaab ke saath

to phir bataao samandar sadaa ko kyuuN sunte
hamaarii pyaas kaa rishta thaa jab saraab ke saath
(saraab=mirage)

baDii ajiib mahak saath le ke aaii hai
nasiim raat basar kii kisii gulaab ke saath

fizaa meN duur tak marhabaa ke naare haiN
guzarne vaale haiN kuchh log yaaN se Khwaab ke saath

zamiiN terii kashish khiiNchtii rahii hamko
gaye zaruur the kuchh duur maahtaab ke saath

Nida Fazli's ghazal: Dil mile ya na mile...

Nida Fazli's ghazal: Dil mile ya na mile...

बात कम कीजिए, ज़हानत को छुपाते रहिये
अजनबी शहर है यह, दोस्त बनाते रहिये

दुश्मनी लाख सही, ख़त्म न कीजिए रिश्ता
दिल मिले या न मिले हाथ मिलाते रहिये

ये तो चेहरे का फ़क़त अक्स है तस्वीर नहीं
इस पे कुछ रंग अभी और चढाते रहिये

गम है आवारा अकेले मैं भटक जाता है
जिस जगह रहिये वहां मिलते मिलाते रहिये

जाने कब चाँद बिखर जाए घने जंगल मैं
अपने घर के दर-ओ-दीवार सजाते रहिये

निदा फाजली


baat kam kiijiye, zahaanat ko chhupaate rahiye
ajnabi shahar hai yeh, dost banaate rahiye

dushmanii laakh sahii, khatm na kiijiye rishta
dil mile yaa na mile haath milaate rahiye

ye to chehre ka faqat aks hai tasviir nahiiN
is pe kuchh rang abhi aur chaDhaate rahiye

Gham hai aavaaraa akele meN bhaTak jaataa hai
jis jagah rahiye vahaaN milte milaate rahiye

jaane kab chaaNd bikhar jaaye ghane jangal meN
apne ghar ke dar-o-diivaar sajaate rahiye

Soulfull- 'BHARAT EK KHOJ"

(First stanza is in Sanskrit and fades away as the Hindi lyrics start)

नासदासीन नो सदासीत तदानीं नासीद रजो नो वयोमापरो यत |
किमावरीवः कुह कस्य शर्मन्नम्भः किमासीद गहनं गभीरम ||

सृष्टि से पहले सत नहीं था
असत भी नहीं
अंतरिक्ष भी नहीं

आकाश भी नहीं था
छिपा था क्या, कहाँ
किसने ढका था
उस पल तो
अगम अतल जल भी कहां था

सृष्टि का कौन है कर्ता?
कर्ता है वह अकर्ता
ऊँचे आकाश में रहता
सदा अध्यक्ष बना रहता
वही सचमुच में जानता
या नहीं भी जानता
है किसी को नही पता
नही पता
नही है पता
नही है पता

हिरण्यगर्भः समवर्तताग्रे भूतस्य जातः पतिरेकासीत ।
स दाधार पृथ्वीं ध्यामुतेमां कस्मै देवायहविषा विधेम ॥

वो था हिरण्य गर्भ सृष्टि से पहले विद्यमान
वही तो सारे भूत जाति का स्वामी महान
जो है अस्तित्वमान धरती आसमान धारण कर
ऐसे किस देवता की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर

जिस के बल पर तेजोमय है अंबर
पृथ्वी हरी भरी स्थापित स्थिर
स्वर्ग और सूरज भी स्थिर
ऐसे किस देवता की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर

गर्भ में अपने अग्नि धारण कर पैदा कर
व्यापा था जल इधर उधर नीचे ऊपर
जगा चुके व एकमेव प्राण बनकर
ऐसे किस देवता की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर

ऊँ! सृष्टि निर्माता, स्वर्ग रचयिता पूर्वज रक्षा कर
सत्य धर्म पालक अतुल जल नियामक रक्षा कर
फैली हैं दिशायें बाहु जैसी उसकी सब में सब पर
ऐसे ही देवता की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर
ऐसे ही देवता की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर

[edit] Translation

The lyrics are only in Hindi because the Sanskrit lyrics are sung again in Hindi. The Universe has been generally used for Hindi word Srishti but that is not an accurate translation because Srishti means everything including the Universe and the heavens and the entirety of existence i.e. all-encompassing existence, thus 'all things' is used to refer to Srishti. Note that although it is easy to assume that there is a gender and/or personality associated with the Entity being referred in the lyrics, actually the lyrics go to great length in keeping the language gender and personality neutral. That is why we refer to the Entity using That and It throughout.

Goodness(being) did not exist before all things came to be
Evil(nonbeing) did not exist either
The atmosphere did not exist as well
The sky too was not present
Was anything hidden? Where?
Who had covered it?
At that moment
Unmoving, strong ocean was not there either

Who is the doer of all things?
Is that a doer or non-doer?
Living in the high skies?
Always plays the part of the leader?
Only that knows the truth
Or maybe that does not
No one knows really, No one knows
No one knows really, No one knows

That was the golden womb ever present before all things came
That is the great lord of all the elements
That is the presence through which the land and the skies materializes
Which God like that should we worship by offering ghee?

The skies are lit with its strength
The earth is established with greenery and prosperity
Heavens and Sun are also established
Which God like that should we worship by offering ghee?

It materialized fire in its womb to give birth
There was water here and there and up and below
Out of which only life awoke
Which God like that should we worship by offering ghee?

Om! (Incantation) That maker of all things, that architect of the heavens, our ancestor protect us
That enforcer of truth and dharma, that regulator as mighty as the ocean, protect us
That vastness stretched across all directions, everywhere and in everything
We should keep praying to God like that by offering ghee
We should keep praying to God like that by offering ghee

what can say....
