Tazaah tar

Qaid-e-zeest se fursat ka zariya nahi tha

Maine apna khuda tarasha nahi tha


Mehfil ke behlane mere paas us waqt

Rudaad-e-hayaat thi falsafa nahi tha


Waqt hi ke irade beimaan nikle

Varna imaan se woh shaqs bewafaa nahi tha


Nazar andaaz hotein hain jo ashnaa mehfil mein

Un mein hum bhi shumaar hain andaaza nahi tha


Umr bhar karvatein badle hain asvi

Neend jab bhi khuli savera nahi tha

oho very nice.
I particularly like rudaad-e-hayaat thi, falsafa nahin tha

and as for neend jab bhi khuli savera nahin tha - wah, muah!

Goodness! This is your OWN??? It's wonderful - really! Wah-Wah, indeed!

And yes, the rudaad-e-hayaat one IS probably the highlight, although ALL of them are very good. You should really think of having this published, Shweta, if you haven't already...

Could you possibly 'tag' the earlier posts with your poetry? For those of us who've 'discovered' K-e-G late, I mean..? :)

Sheetal: Thanks, pa.

Deewan: You are too kind. But really I am one of those bathroom shayars you know, just off and on, as the mood seizes and for fun only.
I will tag the rest, but I am afraid you will find it patchy.

Must be an inspiring bathroom then! :)

Looking forward to reading your earlier ones...
