Poetry I Love

A beautiful poem by Faiz Ahmed Faiz:

woh log bahut khushkismat the
jo ishq ko kaam samjhte the
ya kaam se aashiqi karte the
hum jeete ji mashroof rahe
kuch ishq kiya, kuch kaam kiya
kaam ishq ke aade aata raha
aur ishq se kaam uljhata raha
phir aakhir mein tang akar humne
dono ko adhoora chod diya…

One of my all time favourite songs. Beautifully sung by Musarrat Nazir. Awesome lyrics:

chale to kat hi jeyga safar
ahista ahista

hum uske paas jate the
magar ahista ahista

abi taaron se khelo
chand ki kirno se ithlao
milegi uske chehre ki sahar
ahista ahista

(ithlao - play with)

dareecho ko to dekho
chilmanon ke raaz to samjho
uthayenge parda haye baam-o-dar
ahista ahista

(dareecho - ?,chilmanon - ?, baam - housetop or roof, dar - door)

yun hi ik roz apne dil ka qissa b suna dena
khita ahista ahista
nazar ahista ahista

(khita - to address)

chale to kat hi jeyga safar
ahista ahista
