"Registan Se Guftgoo..." (Conversations with the Desert...)


(Conversations with the Desert......)

Zindagi Ke Iss mod par, Aakar Milein Hain,
Hum Aur Tum, Ae Ret ....
Jab Na Pardaa Hai,
Aur Na Saaya Hai...

Zindagi Ke Iss mod par, Aakar Milein Hain,
Hum Aur Tum, Ae Ret ....
Jab Na Pardaa Hai,
Aur Na Saaya Hai...

Aaye Hain Yahan , Hum Musafir
Na Watan Hain ,Aur Naa Hasti Hain....

Aaye Hain Yahan , Hum Musafir
Na Watan Hain ,Aur Naa Hasti Hain....

Ae Ret , Jo Poocha,
Sahi Poocha-
Tu Kidhar Se Aaya Hai,
Kidhar, Tujhko Jaana Hai..

Iss Registaan-
Mein Jo Jalte Hain,
Ek Tum Ho,
Aur Ek Hum Hain..

Ae Ret , Jo Poocha,
Sahi Poocha-
Tu Kidhar Se Aaya Hai,
Kidhar, Tujhko Jaana Hai..

Woh Dekh Aasmanon Mein,
Uski Roshni Itni Tez Hai,
Ki Pal Mein hi,Mujshe ,
Meri Aankhein Cheen Sakta Hai.

Ae Ret , Jo Poocha,
Sahi Poocha-
Tu Kidhar Se Aaya Hai,
Kidhar, Tujhko Jaana Hai..

Ae Ret ,Jo farmaaya,
Sahi farmaaya..
Aankh Hi Dil Ka Aaina Hai,
Aankh Hii Dil Ka Aaina Hai.

Ae Ret ,Jo farmaaya,
Sahi farmaaya ..
Aankh Hi Dil Ka Aaina Hai,
Aankh Hii Dil Ka Aaina Hai.

Tujhko To Aaine Mein,
Zamane Ki Laqeeirein ,Dikhti Hain darbadar
Humko Aaine Mein ,Aank Nahin Dhool-
Dikhti Hain,Roz Roz.

Tujhko To Aaine Mein,
Zamane Ki Laqeeirein ,Dikhti Hain darbadar
Humko Aaine Mein ,Aank Nahin Dhool-
Dikhti Hain,Roz Roz.

Ae Ret , Jo Poocha,
Sahi Poocha-
Tu Kidhar Se Aaya Hai,
Kidhar, Tujhko Jaana Hai..

Ae Ret, Yeh Samjha ,
Aur ab sahi samjha,
Vapass Jane Ka tho -
Yehi Mod Hai,Yehi Mod Hai.

Ab Jab Hum Milenge,
Tab Hum Tum honge, Aur Zindagi Hogii.

Ab Jab Hum Milenge,
Tab Hum Tum honge, Aur Zindagi Hogii.

Aankhein Aankhon Se Jab Milengi,
Dil ,Dil Se jab milenge,
Mitti Mitti Se jab milengi,

Tabb inn Aankhon Mein Dhool Nahin,
Roshni Ki Muskaan Hogi.

Aankhein Aankhon Se Jab Milengi,
Dil ,Dil Se jab milenge,
Mitti Mitti Se jab milengi,

Tabb inn Aankhon Mein Dhool Nahin,
Roshni Ki Muskaan Hogi.

Tabb Uss Roshni Mein Ranjish Nahin,
Mohabbat Ka Noor Hoga.

Tab Humm Milenge,
Tho Galey lagaakar milenge
Tab Humm Milenge,
Tho Galey lagaakar milenge

Ae Ret , Jo Poocha,
Sahi Poocha-
Tu Kidhar Se Aaya Hai,
Kidhar, Tujhko Jaana Hai..

This was absoluty fantastic, and nostalgic. I had heard this creation of yours earlier. And now it has transported me back to Road # 12, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. (2002 AD) .
Looking forward to more blogs from you.

kashif, its great to know that this has brought back some fond memories of the good times , with yourself and qais, back in in the august days of 2002, in good old hyderabad.Those were some noce times we had there.....
I was introduced to blogs by good old buddy qais, a long time back now, but the idea to start these blogs came mainly after that inspirational post of yours, kashifiyat (http://kashifiyat.blogspot.com),
which made me realise that we should all try and keep our own individual styles of thought as much as possible , but open and flexible and adaptable at the same time , as well.
As a foot note, this particular piece was written way back in 2002 Jan ,and has been inspired by the concept of 'Khudi' or 'Self' ,which was one of the fundamental points of Dr Allama Iqbal's thoughts & philosophies..
But i got to be more confident of publishing it only after subjecting it to the most intense scrutiny from the peerless twosome of Shahid Hussain Sahab and Dr Tariq Sultan Sahab , at the AMU club in hyderabad then, and i was at a loss to explain the style of writing here to shahid hussain sahab at that time, who made me aware of the modernist style of shayari , which is now called Azaad Shayari, which can be thought of as shaayari in 'free-flow'.
And that was how the two schools of thought too came to light, as described in qais's post (http://incredibleindia.blogspot.com)

Riz, if u incorporate the changes suggested by me then u can delete the comment after that... i guess that should be done to avoid confusion to readers...

Moreover.. i have already expressed my appreciation for the wonderful "Azaad" poetry example. For me, it was first time i saw this kind of poem and got 2 knoe thru shahid sb that this was called "Azaad Shayari". How independent, How freee flow of thoughts and what a good expression.. And How Self(ish)...i mean how inpired with Iqbal's concept of "khudi".....

..Shukriyaa..
