~A beautiful Ghazal from Mir Sahab~

[aman_suhan]

Here is a beautiful Ghazal from Mir Sahab...I hope you will like it.

Kya kahun tum se main ke kya hai ishq,
Jaan ka rog hai, bala hai ishq.

Ishq hi ishq hai jahaan dekho,
Saare aalam mein bhar raha hai ishq.

Ishq maashuq ishq aashiq hai,
Yaani apna hi mubtala hai ishq.

Ishq hai tarz-o-taur ishq ke taeen,
Kahin banda kahin Khuda hai ishq.

Kaun maqsad ko ishq bin pohuncha,
Aarzoo ishq wa mudda hai ishq.

Koi khwaahan nahin mahabbat ka,
Tu kahe jins-e-narawa hai ishq.

Mir ji zarad hote jaate hain,
Kya kahin tum ne bhi kiya hai ishq?

-Mir Taqi Mir

Here is another one from Mir Sahab...

Patta patta, boota boota, haal hamaaraa jaane hai,
Jaane na jaane gul hi na jaane, baagh to saaraa jaane hai.

Aage us mutkabbar ke ham Khuda Khuda kiya karte hain,
Kab maujud Khuda ko woh maghrur khud-aara jaane hai.

Aashiq saa to saada koi aur na hoga dunya mein,
Ji ke zian ko ishq mein uske apna waara jaane hai.

Chaaraa gari beemari-e-dil ki rasm-e-shahr-e-husn nahin,
Warna dilbar-e-naadaan bhi is dard kaa chaara jaane hai.

Mehr-o-wafa-o-lutaf-o-inait, ek se waqif in mein nahin,
Aur to sab kuchh tanz-o-kanaya, ramz-o-ishara jaane hai.

Aashiq to murdah hai hamesha ji uthta hai dekhe use,
Yaar ke aa jaane ko yakaayak umr do baara jaane hai.

Tashna-e-khun hai apna kitna, Mir bhi naadaan, talkhi-kash,
Damdaar aab-e-tegh ko uske aab-e-gawara jaane hai.

Once Mirza Ghaalib has said this for Mir Sahab...

"miir ke sher kaa ahvaal kahuu kyaa Gaalib,
jis kaa diivaan kam az-gulshan-e kashmiir nahii..."

[what can I say about the state of Mir's verse, Ghalib!
whose divan is not less than a garden of Kashmir]

Mirza Ghaalib Saab ne unke ek sher mein, Meer saab ke liye kuchh yun farmaya tha...

rekhta ke tum hi ustaad nahiN ho "GHalib"
kahte haiN agle zamane meN koi Meer bhi thA

[rekhta = Urdu]

It shows, how great Meer was. he is called the Imam (Pioneer, Leader) of Urdu Shayri...

Instead of using high-falutin' Urdu, Meer would use a common and easy to understand style of narration which not only increased the simplicity and beauty of GHazal, but also magnified it's effect to an extent that would leave the listener spell-bound.

That is why I love Meer Saab's Shers than Ghaalib's.
