(Zindagi se yehi gilaa hai mujhe)2
This is my complaint about life
Tu bahut der se mila hai mujhe
I spent so much of it without meeting you
Zindagi se yehi gilaa hai mujhe
This is my complaint about life

(Hamsafar chaahiye, hujoom nahin)2
I need a companion, not a crowd
(Ek musaafir bhi, qaafila hai mujhe)2
Just one fellow traveler would be a whole caravan to me

Tu bahut der se mila hai mujhe
I spent so much of it without meeting you
Zindagi se yehi gilaa hai mujhe
This is my complaint about life

(Dil dhadakta nahin sulagtaa hai)3
The heart is not beating, it is burning
(Woh jo khwahish thi, aabala hai mujhe)2
The desire that once was, is just a blister now

(Tu bahut der se mila hai mujhe
I spent so much of it without meeting you
Zindagi se yehi gilaa hai mujhe)2
This is my complaint about life

(Lab-kusha hoon to is yakiin ke saath)3
I speak out with the full confidence that
(Qatl hone ka hosala hai mujhe)2
I have the courage to face death

Tu bahut der se mila hai mujhe
I spent so much of it without meeting you
Zindagi se yehi gilaa hai mujhe
This is my complaint about life

(Tu mohabbat se koii chaal to chal)3
Make your move in the game of love
(Haar jaane ka hausla hai mujhe)2
I have the courage to face defeat

Tu bahut der se mila hai mujhe
I spent so much of it without meeting you
Zindagi se yehi gilaa hai mujhe
This is my complaint about life

(Kaun jaane ki chaahaton main FARAZ!)3
Who knows, for Faraz in his loves
(Kya ganwaaya hai, kya mila hai mujhe)2
What has been lost, or has been gained

(Tu bahut der se mila hai mujhe
I spent so much of it without meeting you
Zindagi se yehi gilaa hai mujhe)2
This is my complaint about life

POET : MUNIR NAIZI 1928-2006

Munir Niazi - leaves the world behind
A poet who drew sketches with words.

Munir Ahmad, better known as Munir Niazi, Sitara-e-Imtiaz (1928–2006) was one of the best-known and admired Urdu poets from Pakistan who also produced good poetry in the Panjabi language.

Niazi was born in Khanpur on 19 April 1928, a village near Hushiyarpur, India. He was initially educated at Khanpur and after the partition of India he migrated to newly independent Pakistan and settled in Sahiwal, where he passed his matriculation. He earned an intermediate degree from S.E. College, Bahawalpur and a B.A. from Diyal Singh College in Lahore, Pakistan.

Munir Niazi launched a weekly, Saat Rang, from Sahiwal in 1949. He wrote numerous songs for films and made his name as the foremost movie song writer of Pakistan. He also wrote for newspapers, magazines and radio. In 1960 he established a publication institute, Al-Misal. Lately he was associated with Lahore Television and lived in Lahore till his death.

Taiz Hawa Aur Tanha Phool, Jungle mein Dhanak, Dushmanoon Kai Darmiyan Sham and Mah-e-Munir are his popular Urdu publications. In Punjabi he has published Safar di Raat, Char Chup Cheezan and Rasta Dasan Walay Tarey. His effective imagery conveys pictures in few words. He has experimented with poetic forms and has tried to create a new style, rhythm and diction in Urdu poetry. Innocence, mythology, nostalgia, dreams, eroticism, and romance are some of his most common themes.

Munir Niazi died of respiratory illness on 26 December 2006 in Lahore.

POET : MUNIR NAIZI 1928-2006

The film industry had its own culture and cruelties. Munir once narrated that for his famous song "Us bewafa ka shahr hai aur ham hain dosto", he was promised Rs 2,000 but received only Rs 200. (Rs 200. = US $5)

Munir Niazi was awarded ˜Kamal-e-Funn Award for the year 2002 by Pakistan Academy of Letters and the ˜President's Award for Pride of Performance" in 1992 and ˜Sitara-i-Imtiaz' in 1998.
His works have been translated into many other languages.

Munir Niazi's poetry will, no doubt, lives on.

Missed this video the first time it was posted. It is one great performace of my favorite Ghulam Ali ghazal (or is it? I don't know for sure because he has so many great ones),

It has a couple of verses that were not in my original translation, so I am adding them here.

Enjoy.

tum to yaaron, abhi se uth baithe
My friends! you have already got up to leave

shahr me.n raat jaagati hai abhi
The night in the city has just woken up

so gaye log us haveli ke
Everyone in that house has fallen asleep

ek khidki magar khulee hai abhi
but one window still remains open

What a beautiful thought!

Here is another Ghulam Ali classic, a moving expression of a lover's anguish by Adeem Hashmi.

In Urdu ghazals, there are two very essential ingredients. They are called Takhayyul and Taghazzul.

Takhayyul
(related to the word khayaal= thought), represents an image the poet presents to your mind with his words. The best examples are a completely novel situation that cleverly conveys the poet's feelings. The first verse in this ghazal is a good example.When the poet speaks of the great distance between him and his lover sitting just across from him, it strikes a chord immediately in everyone's heart, even though they may never have thought of it that way themselves. Poets like Ghalib and Mir were masters of Takhayyul with no equals in the centuries since their time.

Taghazzul
is the coining of the lyrics to be sung as a ghazal. Aside from beher and technical considerations, this is where poetry comes in. when the words flow together and the sounds blend with the meaning and the mood, it is ecstasy to listen to the ghazal.

Enjoy.

GHAZAL: FAASLE AISE BHI HONGE
SINGER: GHULAM ALI
POET : ADEEM HASHMI
ALBUM : A JOURNEY

FAASLE AISE BHI HONGE:

Na udaa yun tokharon se, meri khaakh-e-kabr zaalim
O cruel one! Do not kick away the crumbled dust of my tomb,
Yeh hi ek rah gayii hai, mere pyaar ki nishaanii
This is the only thing that remains as a sign that I loved

Faasale aise bhi honge, yeh kabhi socha na tha
That distances can be so great, I had never imagined
Saamne baitha tha mere, aur woh meraa na tha
She was seated in front of me, yet she was not mine

Woh ke khushboo ki tarah, phaila tha mere chaar soo
Like a fragrance, she surrounded me on all sides,
Main usay mehsoos kar sakta tha, chhoo sakta na tha
I could sense her presence, but could not touch her

Raat bhar pichalii hi aahat kaano.n me.n aatii rahii
All night long, the sound of her last arrival rang in my ears,
Jhaank kar dekha galii me.n, koyi bhi aayaa na tha
I craned my neck out the window, but there was no one there

Yaad kar ke aur bhi, takliif hothi thi Adeem,
Recalling her memory only increased Adeem's troubles
Bhool jaane ke siva, ab koyi bhi chaara na tha
Now there is no escape except to forget

Here are many more verses that are not sung in the recording, all beautiful expressions of a lover's longing.

Aaj lagataa hai ta'alluq mit gayaa poori tarah,
It appears that the bond is totally broken today,
Aaj us ne dekh kar bhi mujh ko pahchaana na tha
Today, she looked at me, but did not recognize me

Yeh sabhii viiraaniyan us ke juda hone se thii
All this barrenness arose from her departure
Aankh dhundalaayii huyii thi, shahar dhundalayaa na tha
The eyes have turned misty, but the town was quite clear

Main teri soorat liye saare zamaane me.n phiraa
With your face in my mind, I roamed the world
Saari duniya mein magar, koyi tere jaisa na tha
But nowhere could I find another like you

Aaj us ne dard bhi, apne alaihda kar diye
Today, she has separated even her pain from mine
Aaj main royaa to mere saath woh royaa na tha
I cried today, but she did not cry along with me

Aaj milne ki khushi mein, sirf main jagaa nahi.n
I am not the only one who stayed up for the joy of our meeting
Teri aankhon se bhi lagataa hai ke tu soyaa na tha
Your eyes seem as if you, too, have not slept

Trans:Venkat

Translator's note:

Even though Adeem wrote "meraa na tha" (in the masculine gender), he was referring to a female. It is a very common practice in the Persian tradition to refer to a female lover in the masculine gender, and many Urdu poets borrowed this style.

The memory came back as soon as the evening wore
Bujh gayaa dil chiragh jalte hii
The heart was extinguished even as the flame kept burning
(Aa gayii yaad sham Dhalte hii)2

(Khul gaye shahr-e-Gham ke darwaze)3
The doors opened to the place where my pain lives

at the blowing of the slightest breeze

(Aa gayii yaad sham Dhalte hii)2
The memory came back as soon as the evening wore

(Kaun thaa tu ke phir na dekha tujhe)3
Who were you, I never laid eyes on you again,
(Mit gayaa Khwaab aankh malte hii)2
The dream came to an end as I was rubbing my eyes

(Aa gayii yaad sham Dhalte hii)2
The memory came back as soon as the evening wore

(Tu bhii jaise badal saa jaataa hai)3
You keep on changing as I watch
(Aks-e-diiwaar ke badalte hii)2
just as the shadow on a wall

(Aa gayii yaad sham Dhalte hii)2
The memory came back as soon as the evening wore
Bujh gayaa dil chiragh jalte hii
The heart was extinguished even as the flame kept burning
(Aa gayii yaad sham Dhalte hii)2
The memory came back as soon as the evening wore

The fortunes of the world were mine, I had name and fame
Sab kuchh mila hamein na magar maharabaan mile

(Hamako khushi mili bhi to bas aarizi mili)2
When I felt joy it was but ephemeral,
(Lekin jo gham mile wo gham-e-jaawidaan mile)2
But the sorrows, when they came, were eternal

Sab kuchh mila hamein na magar maharabaan mile
I achieved everything, but not one who would love me
Daulat mili jahaan ki naam-o-nishaan mile
The fortunes of the world were mine, I had name and fame

(Phir kyuun kare talaash koyi aur aastaan)2
Why would he look again for another shrine,
(Wo kushanasib jisako tera aasataan mile)2
The fortunate one who has already found your abode

Sab kuchh mila hamein na magar maharabaan mile
I achieved everything, but not one who would love me
(Daulat mili jahaan ki naam-o-nishaan mile)2
The fortunes of the world were mine, I had name and fame

(Nazarein talaash karati rahin jinako umr bhar)2
What my eyes were seeking all my life,
(Darshan ko wo sukuun ke lamhe kahaan mile)2
Where shall my sight behold those moments of joy?

hoping that some crumbs might come his way, giving him something

becomes attainable.

POET: AMIR KHUSRO

Khusro the Royal poet

Khusro was a prolific classical poet associated with the royal courts of more than seven rulers of the Delhi Sultanate. He is popular in much of North India and Pakistan, because of many playful riddles, songs and legends attributed to him. Through his enormous literary output and the legendary folk personality, Khusro represents one of the first (recorded) Indian personages with a true multi-cultural or pluralistic identity.

He wrote in both Persian and Hindustani. He also spoke Arabic and Sanskrit.His poetry is still sung today at Sufi shrines throughout Pakistan and India.

Amir Khusro was the author of a Khamsa which emulated that of the earlier Persian-language poet Nizami Ganjavi. His work was considered to be one of the great classics of Persian poetry during the Timurid period in Transoxiana.

The phrase "Zeehaal-e-miskeen" comes from a poem of Amir Khusrau. The unique thing about this poem is that it is a macaronic, written in Persian and *Brij Bhasha.(*Brij Bhasha: usually considered to be a dialect of Hindi,) In the first verse, the first line is in Persian, the second in Brij Bhasha, the third in Persian again, and the fourth in Brij Bhasha. In the remaining verses, the first two lines are in Persian, the last two in Brij Bhasha. The poem showcases Amir Khusrau's mastery over both languages. The English translation is:

"Zeehaal-e-miskeen"

Do not overlook my misery by blandishing your eyes,
and weaving tales; My patience has over-brimmed,
O sweetheart, why do you not take me to your bosom.
Long like curls in the night of separation,
short like life on the day of our union;
My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before.
Suddenly, using a thousand tricks, the enchanting eyes robbed me
of my tranquil mind;
Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling?
Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle,
I roam about in the fire of love;
Sleepless eyes, restless body,
neither comes she, nor any message.
In honour of the day I meet my beloved
who has lured me so long, O Khusrau;
I shall keep my heart suppressed,
if ever I get a chance to get to her trick.

We have considered to include Amir Khusro: but again this one was not selected but gets honorable mentioned:

what mischief the beloved does wreak upon

the poor, weak, smitten one that has fallen for her

The naive and misery-loving ˜Mir' is so thirsty for his own blood

Damdaar aab-e-tegh ko us aab-e-gavaara jaane hai
That he takes the shiny sharpness of the sword to be his favorite wine

Trans: Venkat

Translator's note:

Mir plays cleverly with words here. In Urdu, ˜Aab' has many meanings. One meaning is water or any liquid, another is lustre. The latter has a special meaning with the word for sword.

˜aab-e-tegh' is the sharpness of the sword.
˜aab-e-gavaara' is favorite drink (wine).

POET : MEER TAQI MEER

POEM: PATA PATA BOOTA BOOTA

Mohammed Taqi (b. 1723 - d. 1810), better known by his takhallus of Mir Taqi Mir (sometimes also spelled as Meer Taqi Meer), was the leading Urdu poet of the eighteenth century, and one of the pioneers who gave shape to the Urdu language itself. He was one of the principal poets of Delhi school of Urdu ghazal and remains arguably the foremost name in Urdu poetry.

He was born in Agra, India (called "Akbarabad" at the time), which at the time was ruled by the Mughals, in 1723. He left for Delhi, at the age of 11, following his father's death. His philosophy of life was formed primarily from his father, whose emphasis on the importance of love and the value of compassion remained with him through his life and imbued his poetry. At Delhi, he finished his education and joined a group of nobility as a courtier-poet. He lived much of his life in Mughal Delhi. However, after Ahmad Shah Abdali's sack of Delhi each year starting 1748, he eventually moved to the court of Asaf-ud-Daulah in Lucknow, at the king's invitation. Distressed to witness the plundering of his beloved Delhi, he gave vent to his feelings through some of his couplets. He remained in Lucknow for the remainder of his life.

He builds his poetry on the foundations of his personal experience. His favourite theme is love - love unfulfilled - and his favourite manner is conversational. Mir lived at a time when Urdu poetry was yet at a formative stage - its language was getting reformed and purged of native crudities, and its texture was being enriched with borrowings from Persian imagery and idiom. Aided by his aesthetic instincts, Mir struck a fine balance between the old and the new, the indigenous and the imported elements. Knowing that Urdu is essentially an Indian language, he retained the best in native Hindi speech and leavened it with a sprinkling of Persian diction and phraseology, so as to create a poetic language at once simple, natural and elegant, acceptable alike to the elite and the common folk. Consequently he has developed a style which has been the envy of all succeeding poets...

It is a commonplace of criticism that Mir is a poet of pathos and melancholy moods. His pathos, it should be remembered, is compounded of personal and public causes. His life was a long struggle against unfavourable circumstances...

Mir was a prolific writier. His complete works, Kulliaat, consist of 6 dewans, containing 13,585 couplets comprising all kinds of poetic forms: ghazal, masnavi, qasida, rubai, mustezaad, satire, etc.

He died in Lucknow on 20th September 1810.

POET : MEER TAQI MEER

Mir vs Mirza Ghalib

Mir Taqi Mir was often compared with the later day Urdu poet, Mirza Ghalib. Lovers of Urdu poetry often debate Meer's supremacy over Ghalib or vice versa. It may be noted that Ghalib himself acknowledged, through some of his couplets, that Meer was indeed a genius that deserved respect. Here is a couplet by Mirza Ghalib.

Reekhta kay tumhi ustaad nahi ho Ghalib
Kehtay hain aglay zamanay may koi Meer bhi thaa

(You are not the only master of Urdu, Ghalib
They say there used to be a Meer in the past)

http://www.mastimag.com/songs/pakistani-songs/1/ghulam-...ko(MastiMag.com).mp3

chamaktay chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
the bright moon has changed into a broken star

meri awargee ne mujhko awara bana dala
my irresponsibility has made me a tramp

baDa dil kash baDa rangeen hai yeh shahar kahtay hain
they say this town is beautiful and colorful

yahan par hain hazaron ghar, gharon me.n log rehtay hain
there are thousands of houses, and people live in them

mujhe is shahar ne galiyon ka banjara bana dala
but this town has made me a vagabond in the streets

chamaktay chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
the bright moon has changed into a broken star

mai.n is duniya ko aksar dekh ke hayraan hota hun
I am often amazed at the sight of this world

na mujhse ban saka chota sa ghar din raat rota hun
I could not make a small house, I cry day and night

KHUDAYA tu ne kaise yeh jahan sara bana dala
Oh God! How did you make this whold wide world?

chamaktay chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
the bright moon has changed into a broken star

mere malik mera dil kyu.n taDapta hai sulaghta hai
My Lord! Why does my heart suffer and burn?

teri marzee teri marzee pe kis ka zor chalta hai
what force could possibly defeat your will?

kisi ko gul kisi ko tu nay angaraa bana dala
you made some into roses, and some into burning embers

chamaktay chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
the bright moon has changed into a broken star

yehi aaghaaz tha mera yehi anjaam hona tha
this was the beginning, and it must also be the end

mujhe barbaad hona tha mujhe naakaam hona tha
I had to be destroyed, I had to become futile

mujhe taqdeer ne taqdeer ka mara bana dala
it was my destiny to be defeated by fate

chamaktay chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala...
the bright moon has changed into a broken star

itnii mud'dat baad mile ho!
you have met me after such a long time

kin so'choN meN gum rahte ho?
what are the thoughts in which you seem lost?

itne kha'yef kyuN rahte ho?
Why do you look so frightened?

har aahaT se Dar jaate ho
you jump at every footstep

tez hawa ne mujh se poochha
the strong wind asked me this

ret pe kya likhte rahte ho?
what do you keep writing in the sand?

kaash koi ham se bhi poochhe
Ah, if someone were to ask me,

raat gaye tak kyuN jaage ho?
why do you stay awake all night?

maiN dariya se bhi Darta hooN
I am afraid of the river

tum dariya se bhi gahre ho!
and you are even deeper than a river

kaun si baat hai tum meN aisi
what is it about you,

itne achhe kyuN lagte ho?
why do you seem to be so good?

peechhe muRh kar kyuN dekha tha
why did you turn around and look?

pat'thar ban kar kya takte ho?
having turned to stone, what are you looking at?

jao jeet ka jashn manaao!
go ahead, celebrate your victory,

maiN jhooTa hooN, tum sache ho
I have been false, and you are so true

apne shahar ke sab logoN se
In your town, against everyone,

meri khaatir kyuN uljhhe ho?
why did you quarrel for my sake?

kahne ko rahte ho dil meN!
one could say you live in my heart

phir bhi kitne door kharhe ho
but yet, you are so far away

ham se na poochho hijr ke qisse
do not ask me to tell you about my loneliness

apni kaho, ab tum kaise ho?
tell me about yourself, how have you been?

Mohsin tum badnaam bahut ho
Mohsin, you have been vilified a lot

jaise ho phir bhi achhe ho
whatever you are, you are still good

nigaah-e-mast-e-saaqi ka salaam aaya to kya hoga

if they urge me to give up my repentance, then what will happen?

haram waale to puuchhenge bata tu kis ka banda hai
The keepers of our faith will ask "whose devotee are you?"
Khuda se pahale lab par un ka naam aaya to kya hoga
What if her name comes to my lips before the name of God?

mujhe manzuur un se main na boluunga magar naaseh
O mentor, I will comply, I will not talk to her
agar un ki nigaahon ka salaam aaya to kya hoga
but if she signals me with her eyes, what will happen then?

nigaah-e-mast-e-saaqi ka salaam aaya to kya hoga
what happens if the intoxicating eyes of the cup-bearer greets me?

mujhe tark-e-talab manzuur lekin ye to batala do
I agree, I will not go looking for the wine, but tell me this,
koyi khud hi liye haathon mein jaam aaya to kya hoga
if someone brings me the cup in her own hands, then what?

nigaah-e-mast-e-saaqi ka salaam aaya to kya hoga
what happens if the intoxicating eyes of the cup-bearer greets me?

muhabbat ke liye tark-e-taalluq hi zuruuri ho
To love, perhaps one must be able to give up relationships
muhabbat mein agar aisa maqaam aaya to kya hoga
but if you reach such a place in love, what happens then?

nigaah-e-mast-e-saaqi ka salaam aaya to kya hoga
what happens if the intoxicating eyes of the cup-bearer greets me?
agar phir tark-e-tauba ka payaam aaya to kya hoga

Vada-e-yaar ki baat na chedo
do not speak of my lover's promise
Yeh dhoka bhi kha rakha hai

Bhool bhi jaao biiti baatein
Forget about the past and bygones
In baatoon mein kyaa rakha hai

She has sung in over 14 languages including Hindi, Urdu, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, English, Russian, Czech, Nepali, Malay and Malayalam.

Asha Bhosle is believed to have sung over 12,000 songs. Though her sister, Lata Mangeshkar was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records during 1974-1991, for having sung the most songs in the world, reputed sources have introduced concerns to its veracity, claiming that the Guinness counts were exaggerated and Bhosle has recorded more songs than Mangeshkar. Bhosle herself pointed out that she has sung the maximum recordings by any singer - 12,000.

GHAZALS BY THE SINGING DIVA: ASHA BHOSLE:

Asha Bhosle was born in the small hamlet of Goar in Sangli, Maharashtra, into the musical Marathi family of Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar. Her father was a theater actor and classical singer who had been born in the village of Mangeshi in Goa. When she was nine years old, her father died. The family moved from Pune to Kolhapur and then to Bombay. She and her elder sister Lata Mangeshkar began singing and acting in films to support their family. She sang her first film song Chala Chala Nav Bala for the Marathi movie Majha Bal (1943). The music for the film was composed by Datta Dawjekar. She made her Hindi film debut when she sang the song Saawan aaya for Hansraj Behl's Chunariya (1948).

At the age of 16, she eloped with 31-year old Ganpatrao Bhosle (1916-1966), marrying him against her family's wishes. Ganpatrao was sister Lata's personal secretary. The marriage failed miserably. Her husband and in-laws mistreated her. After a few years of marriage, Bhosle was turned out (around 1960) by a suspicious Ganpatrao[6] and she went to her maternal home with two children and pregnant with her third child, Anand. She continued to sing in films to earn money.

At that time, prominent playback singers like Geeta Dutt, Shamshad Begum and Lata Mangeshkar (her sister) monopolized the singing for the "heroine" roles and the big films, whilst Asha Bhosle used to get the assignments they did not take: singing for the bad girls and vamps, or songs in the second-grade movies. In the 1950s, she sang more songs than any other playback singer in Bollywood, yet most of these were in low budget B or C-grade films. Her earliest songs were composed by A R Qureshi, Sajjad Hussain and Ghulam Mohammed, most of which failed to do well. Singing in Dilip Kumar-starrer Sangdil (1952), composed by Sajjad Hussain, she got reasonable recognition. Consequently, film director Bimal Roy gave her a chance to sing in Parineeta (1953). Raj Kapoor signed her to sing the song Nanhe Munne Bachche with Mohammed Rafi in Boot Polish (1954), which gained popularity.
