Zikr us Parivash

zikr us parivash ka, aur phir bayaan apna
ban gaya raqeeb aaKhir tha jo raazdaan apna

mai woh kion buhat peete bazm-e-Ghair mein ya rab
aaj hi huwa manzoor un ko imtihaan apna

manzar ik bulandi par aur ham bana sakte
arsh se idhar hota kaash ke makaan apna

day woh qadar zillat ham hansi mein talain gay
baaray aashna nikalaa un ka pasbaan apna

dard-e-dil likhon kab tak? Jaon un ko dikhla duun
ungliyan figaar apni Khaama Khuun_chakaan apna

ghiste ghiste mit jata aap ne abas badla
nang-e-sajda se mere sang-e-aastaan apna

taa kare na Ghamazi, kar liya hai dushman ko
dost ki shikaayat mein hum ne hum-zubaan apna

ham kahan ke daana thay, kis hunar mein yaktaa thay
be_sabab huwa 'Ghalib' dushman aasmaan apna..

Chacha k ek sher jo mujhe bahot pasand hai........wo zel mein hai

kab se hun kya bataon jahan-e kharab main
shab-hai hijr ko bhee rakhoon gar hisab mein....

Akbar Allahabadi n ek bar kaha tha:

Dawa bahot hai ilm-e reyazi mein aap ko
tool-e Shab-e Feraq zara naap deejiye

(loosely speaking... you are well versed and trained in Mathematics....if you are true in your claim ...kindly measure the length of Shabe Hijr....)

Goya shab-e feraq ka napna koee assan kam nahin k yeh bahot taweel hotee hai.......aur aisee sbahee Hijr kee raaton ka hisaab lagane ko Ghalib ne apne sher mein kaha.....

Tawalat k description k liye yeh liye bahtreen imagery hai ...

Ghalib k pahle misre "kab se hun "' ko quantify karna bahot mushkil tha

Ghalib ne is k liye shab-e hijr ka bahtreen istemal kiya hai...

lehaza yeh sher mujhe bahot pasand hai.

wassalam

Ek aur sher

اس کی امت میں ہوں مَیں، میرے رہیں کیوں کام بند
واسطے جس شہ کے غالب گنبدِ بے در کھل

What a mind blowing piece of poetry. Read few couplets of this Ghazal for the first time today. The more you read Ghalib, the more you fell in love with him.
