पहली बारिश... बांवरा मन...

aakhirkaar itne intezaar aur minnaton ke baad indr dev prasaan hue aur monsoon ki pehli baarish kuchh yun barsi ki ped paudhe, tan man, mausam, fizaayen...saari kaynaat sab dhul ke naye navele ho gaye...yun nikhar gaye maano abhi abhi beauty parlour se saj dhaj ke nikle ho :-) ... aaj subah office aate samay jab cantt se gaadi drive karte hue aa rahe the to dhule dhule pedon ki ajeeb si madhosh kar dene waali mehek aur mitti ki saundhi saundhi khushbu se dil itna khil utha ki man ho raha tha door tak bas yun hi drive karte rahen... office jaayen hi nahin... man to man hai... mausam ke saath banwra ho gaya tha itne me haath ki ghadi pe nazar padi aur man maar ke office ki taraf mudna pada...

ab physically to office me aa gaye hain but kaam karne me man nahi lag raha hai... office ki khidki se bahar padti bauchharon ko dekh dekh kar baarish me bheegne ka man ho raha hai... waise ek baar bahar ka chakkar laga kar aa bhi chuke hain :-)... aur ek hi khyaal man me aa raha hai baarish ki boondon ki aawaaz se madhur bhi kya koi sangeet hota hai ??
itne suhane mausam me parvin shakir ji ki ek nazm yaad aa rahi hai... leejiye aap bhi padhiye aur lutf uthaaiye...

वही मौसम है
बारिश की हँसी
पेडों में छन छन गूंजती है
हरी शाखें
सुनहरे फूल के ज़ेवर पहन कर
तसव्वुर में किसी के मुस्कुराती हैं
हवा की ओढ़नी का रंग फिर हल्का गुलाबी है
शनासा बाग़ को जाता हुआ खुश्बू भरा रास्ता
हमारी राह ताकता है
तुलु-ए-माह की साअत
हमारी मुन्तज़िर है

-- परवीन शाकिर

शनासा : परिचित; तुलु-ए-माह : सूर्योदय; साअत : समय

ye zindagi bhi kitni ajeeb hoti hai... abhi kal ki apni blog post me humne world music ke ek badshah ko alwida kaha aur aaj indian music industry ke ek aur badshash ko shraddhanjali dene ja rahe hain, fark sirf itna hai kal ki shraddhanjali kisi ki rukhsat par thi aur aaj ki shraddhanjali kisi ki birth anniversary celebrate karne ke liye...

R. D. Burman jinhen hum pyar se Pancham da kehte hain, 1939 me, aaj hi ke din Calcutta me janme the. Unhen Pancham naam isliye diya gaya tha kyunki bachpan me jab bhi wo rote the to wo sargam ke pancham sur "Pa" ki tarah lagta tha :-)... unhone apna pehla gana 9 saal ki chhoti si umr me compose kara tha "Aye meri topi palat ke aa" jise unke sangeetkaar pita Shri S.D. Burman ji ne film "Funtoosh" me use kara tha... Yaad hai wo gana "Sar jo tera chakraaye ya dil dooba jaaye aaja pyare paas humare kahe ghabraaye, kahe ghabraaye"... is gaane pe "champi, tel malish" karte hue Jhony Walker to aapko zaroor yaad honge par kya aapko pata hai is gane ki tune bhi pancham da ne as a child artist compose kari thi jo ek baar phir S.D. Burman ji ne film "Pyaasa" ke liye use kari, aur wo kafi pasand bhi kari gayi...

Yaad hai film "Solwa Saal" ka gana "Hai apna dil to aawara na jane kispe aayega"... is song me jo bahot hi badhiya sa mouth organ ka piece bajaya gaya hai kya aapko pata hai wo bhi Pancham da ne hi bajaya tha....

Pancham da ne 1961 me film "Chhote Nawab" ke saath apna sangeetmay safar shuru kara jo 1994 me film "1942: A Love Story" ke saath khatm hua ... is dauraan unhone na jaane kitni hi filmon me kitne hi behtareen ek se badhkar ek songs diye jo aaj tak har kisi ke dil-o-dimag par chhaye hue hain. Aandhi, Kinara, Yaadon ki Barat, Sholey, Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahin, Ijaazat, Masoom, Namak Halal, Parichay, Shaan, Satte Pe Satta, Sagar... the list is endless!!!

Apne is filmi safar me unhone bahot se logon ke saath kaam kara par chand logon ke saath unka association kuchh aisa tha jaise mano wo ek dusre ke saath kaam karne ke liye hi bane hon...

Gulzar un chand logon me se ek hain... Pancham da ke kuchh kareebi doston me se ek ...
Pancham da ke chale jaane ke baad unhen yaad karte hue Gulzar Sa'ab ne yun to bahot kuchh kaha hai par unki ek nazm hai jo humen bahot pasand hai wo aaj aap sab ke saath share karna chahungi... ummeed hai pasand aayegi...

याद है बारिशों का दिन पंचम
जब पहाड़ी के नीचे वादी में,
धुन्ध से झाँक कर निकलती हुई,
रेल की पटरियाँ गुज़रती थीं !

धुन्ध में ऐसे लग रहे थे हम,
जैसे दो पौधे पास बैठे हों।
हम बहुत देर तक वहाँ बैठे,
उस मुसाफ़िर का ज़िक्र करते रहे,
जिसको आना था पिछली शब, लेकिन
उसकी आमद का वक़्त टलता रहा !

देर तक पटरियों पे बैठे हुए
ट्रेन का इन्तज़ार करते रहे।
ट्रेन आयी, न उसका वक़्त हुआ,
और तुम यूँ ही दो क़दम चल कर,
धुन्ध पर पाँव रख के चल भी दिये

मैं अकेला हूँ धुन्ध में पंचम!!

Bidding the Final Adieu ... Michael Jackson !!!

Sometimes it is so difficult to say "adieu" to some people...

Michael Jackson was one such person... a "True Entertainer" by all means... was a legendary icon for world music, be it his singing style, his dancing style or his stage performances... can anyone ever forget his signature style, The Moon Walk...

Could not believe my ears when I heard this news in the morning that he passed away... I admired him since childhood, though not a very huge fan of his, but always liked his songs... tab se jab shayad English Songs samajh bhi nahi aate the...

Though I like many of his songs but one song that I am still very fond of is "Heal the World"... I'm sharing this song with you today and paying my homage to the legend through my blog... May his soul rest in peace !!!

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist and entertainer.

Michael was born in Gary, Indiana (an industrial suburb of Chicago, Illinois) to a working-class family on August 29, 1958. The son of Joseph Walter "Joe" and Katherine Esther, he was the seventh of nine children. Jackson showed musical talent early in his life, performing in front of classmates and others during a Christmas recital at the age of five.

He was characterized as "an unstoppable juggernaut, possessed of all the tools to dominate the charts seemingly at will: an instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility and loads of sheer star power". With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.

Throughout his career he received numerous honors and awards, including the World Music Awards' Best-Selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium, the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award and the Bambi Pop Artist of the Millennium Award.

I've been in the entertainment industry since I was six-years-old... As Charles Dickens says, "It's been the best of times, the worst of times." But I would not change my career... While some have made deliberate attempts to hurt me, I take it in stride because I have a loving family, a strong faith and wonderful friends and fans who have, and continue, to support me.

—Michael Jackson

"Heal the World" is a song featured on Michael Jackson's hit album, Dangerous, released in 1991. The music video features children living in countries suffering from unrest. Jackson performed the song in the Super Bowl XXVII halftime show with a 35000 person flash card performance.

In a 2001 Internet chat with fans, Jackson said "Heal the World" is the song he is most proud to have created. He also created the Heal the World Foundation, a charitable organization which was designed to improve the lives of children. The organization was also meant to teach said children about how to help others. This concept of 'betterment for all' would become a centrepiece for the Dangerous World Tour.

Lyrics - Heal The World

little girl talking

(i think about the generations and they say they want to make it a better place for our children & our children's children so that they know it's a better world for them and i think they can make it a better place)


There's A Place In Your Heart
And I Know That It Is Love
And This Place Could Be Much Brighter Than Tomorrow
And If You Really Try
You'll Find There's No Need To Cry
In This Place You'll Feel There's No Hurt Or Sorrow

There Are Ways To Get There
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
Make A Better Place...

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

If You Want To Know Why
There's A Love That Cannot Lie
Love Is Strong
It Only Cares For Joyful Giving
If We Try We Shall See
In This Bliss We Cannot Feel Fear Or Dread
We Stop Existing And Start Living

Then It Feels That Always
Love's Enough For Us Growing
So Make A Better World
Make A Better World...

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

And The Dream We Were Conceived In
Will Reveal A Joyful Face
And The World We Once Believed In
Will Shine Again In Grace
Then Why Do We Keep Strangling Life
Wound This Earth Crucify Its Soul
Though It's Plain To See
This World Is Heavenly
Be God's Glow

We Could Fly So High
Let Our Spirits Never Die
In My Heart I Feel You Are All My Brothers
Create A World With No Fear
Together We'll Cry Happy Tears
See The Nations Turn Their Swords
Into Plowshares

We Could Really Get There
If You Cared Enough For The Living
Make A Little Space
To Make A Better Place...

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

You And For Me

You And For Me
Make A Better Place
You And For Me
Make A Better Place
You And For Me
Make A Better Place
You And For Me
heal the world we live in
You And For Me
save it for our children
You And For Me
heal the world we live in
You And For Me
save it for our children
You And For Me
heal the world we live in
You And For Me
save it for our children
You And For Me
heal the world we live in
You And For Me
save it for our children

साहिल

bachpan ki yaadein ta-umr humare saath rehti hain... wo sara sara din befikri se khelna, na koi chinta na koi fikr, bas khana, peena, sona aur mast rehna... tamam duniyavi rishton se pare wo nishchhal, nishkapat vaatsalya sab par lutana aur apni ek muskan ke badle har kisi se wo dher sara pyar pana... sach insan ki zindagi ke wo sabse khoobsoorat lamhe hote hain par unki ehmiyat humen bade hokar hi pata chalti hai... bachpan me baarish ki ek boond girte hi kaise man machal uthta tha aur bas ghar me dhundhne lagte the raddi kagaz ka ek tukda... ya kabhi purani kisi copy se panna phaad kar jut jaate the bas kagaz ki ek nanhi si kashti banane aur ghar ke bahar bhare hue baarish ke paani me use taira kar der tak taakte rehte the ki kidhar ja rahi hai humari naav... kabhi aadhe raste ulat kar pani me doob jaati to man achanak udaas ho jata aur raah chalta koi use seedha kar ke phir se taira deta us maile kuchaile se pani me to man ek baar phir khil uthta... aah! wo masoom bachpan aur wo seedha-saral baalman, aaj socho to hansi aati hai... kya kabhi aapne bachpan me kaagaz ki naav banaate samay ye socha tha ki ek bemani se raddi kagaz ko aap koi maane de rahe hain... humne bhi nahi socha tha... par gulzar sa'ab ki is nazm ne humen aaj us kagaz ki naav ko ek naye nazariye se dekhne aur samajhne ka mauka diya...

आज बाज़ार में पा-बजौंला चलो

Faiz Ahmed Faiz - A Poet, A Revolutionary... the only poet till date, who blends romance and revolution in such a bold and beautiful manner... a firm believer in freedom of speech, you can sense the rebellion in him through his works, be it "Bol Ke Lab Aazaad Hain Tere", "Intesaab", "Sheeshon Ka Maseeha" or "Aaj Baazaar Me".

Unke shabdon me wo taaqat hai jo aapko andar tak jhakjhor deti hai aur aap sochne pe majboor ho jaate hain aur kuchh kar guzarne ke liye bhi...

चश्म-ए-नम जान-ए-शोरीदा काफ़ी नहीं
तोहमत-ए-इश्क पोशीदा काफ़ी नहीं
आज बाज़ार में पा-बजौंला चलो

दस्त अफशां चलो मस्त-ओ-रक्सां चलो
ख़ाक बर सर चलो खूं-ब-दामां चलो
राह तकता है सब शहर-ए-जाना चलो

हाकिम-ए-शहर भी मजमा-ए-आम भी
सुबह-ए-नाशाद भी रोज़-ए-नाकाम भी
तीर-ए-इल्जाम भी संग-ए-दुशनाम भी

उनका दम साज़ अपने सिवा कौन है
शहर-ए-जाना में अब बा-सफ़ा कौन है
दस्त-ए-कातिल के शायाँ रहा कौन है

रक्त-ए-दिल बाँध लो दिल फिगारों चलो
फिर हमीं क़त्ल हो आयें यारों चलो...

- फैज़ अहमद फैज़

********************************************

nazm ka ye english translation net par hi kahin padha tha jise apni taraf se kuchh edit kar ke aapki suvidha ke liye yaha post kar rahi hun...

The tearful eye and the distressed soul are not enough
The accusation of hidden love is not enough
Today let's walk through the market with shacked feet

Let's go with hands waving and mood drunk with joy
Let's go with dust on our heads and blood on our sleeves
The city of our beloved awaits us

They wait for us: The ruler and the ruled
The unhappy morning, the purposeless day
The arrow of accusation and the stones of infamy

Who is their friend apart from us?
Who is the one still trustworthy in my beloved's city?
Who is still safe from murderer's hand?

Summon your heartbeats and let's go O heartbroken ones
Let's get killed once more, mates. Let's go!

********************************************

is nazm ko Pakistan ki singer Nayyara Noorji ne bahot hi khoobsoorti se gaya hai... aap bhi suniye... aur apni pratikriya deejiye...

रिश्ते बस रिश्ते होते हैं

ek baar phir gulzar sa'ab ki hi ek nazm pesh kar rahi hun... jis khoobsoorti se gulzar sa'ab duniya ke tamaam rishton ko shabdon me jeete hain shayad hi koi aur shayar ji paaya hai... phir chaahe wo pyaar ka rishta ho ya dard ka rishta, apni humsafar ke saath unka rishta ho ya phir apni beti "Boski" ke saath... zindagi aur sachchaai ke itne kareeb ki padh kar lagta hai "haan aisa hi to hota hai humare saath bhi..."

रिश्ते बस रिश्ते होते हैं
कुछ एक पल के
कुछ दो पल के

कुछ परों से हलके होते हैं
बरसों के तले चलते चलते
भारी भरकम हो जाते हैं

कुछ भरी भरकम बर्फ़ के से
बरसों के तले गलते गलते
हलके फुल्के हो जाते हैं

नाम होते हैं रिश्तों के
कुछ रिश्ते नाम के होते हैं
रिश्ता अगर वह मर भी जाये
बस नाम से जीना होता है

बस नाम से जीना होता है
रिश्ते बस रिश्ते होते हैं

amaltas ke phool, bachpan se hi humen apni oor aakarshit karte hain... ghar ke saamne hi amaltas ka ek ped hai, garmiyon ki subah uth kar jab bahar baraamde me jaa kar dekhte hain to peele peele phoolon ki ek badi si chaadar ped ke neeche bichhi rehti hai aur uski bheeni bheeni khushbu subah ko aur bhi taro taaza kar deti hai, shaam ki lalima me amaltas ke peele phool aur bhi adbhut dikhte hain... maano ped ko kise ne dher saare soone ke zewar pehna diye hain...

abhi haal hi me amaltas par likhi hui gulzar sa'ab ki ek nazm padhi aur bas man hua use aap sab ke saath share karne ka... par itni khoobsurat nazm aur itne khoobsurat mauzuu ko sadharan tareeke se kaise pesh karte... bas andar ka artist jaag gaya ... umeed hai peshkash pasand aayegi... aur pasand aaye to tareef me do shabd zaroor kahiyega :-)
