My Favourite Poet - Asadullah

Hazaaron Khawahishen Aisi

Today is the 143rd death anniversary of my favorite poet till date i.e. Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib. This post is just a tribute to Mirza Ghalib, Mirza Ghalib - Serial starring Naseeruddin Shah. The serial introduced the beautiful poetry of Ghalib to me which i rejoiced a lot. I think this is about 2-3 years ago. I am posting one of my favorite Ghazal by him in Gurumukhi.

ਰਹੀਯੇ ਅਬ ਐਸੀ ਜਗਹ ਚਲਕਰ, ਜਹਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ

ਹਮ-ਸੁਖਨ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ ਔਰ ਹਮ ਜੁਬਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ

ਬੇਦਰੋ-ਦੀਵਾਰ ਸਾ ਇਕ ਘਰ ਬਨਾਯਾ ਚਾਹੀਯੇ

ਕੋਈ ਹਮਸਾਯਾ ਨ ਹੋ ਔਰ ਪਾਸਬਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ

ਪੜੀਯੇ ਗਰ ਬੀਮਾਰ, ਤੋ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ ਤੀਮਾਰਦਾਰ

ਔਰ ਅਗਰ ਮਰ ਜਾਈਯੇ, ਤੋ ਨੌਹਾ ਖ਼ਵਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ

(ਹਮਸਾਯਾ=ਗਵਾਂਢੀ, ਪਾਸਬਾਂ=ਪਹਿਰੇਦਾਰ, ਰਾਖਾ, ਤੀਮਾਰਦਾਰ=ਇਲਾਜ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ)

In Roman

Rahiye Ab Aisi Jagah Chalkar Jahaan Koi Na Ho

Hamsukhan Koi Na Ho Hamzubaan Koi Na Ho

Be-Dar-o-Deewar Sa Ik Ghar Banaya Chahiye

Koi Hamsaya Na Ho Aur Pasbaan Koi Na Ho

Padiye Gar Bimar, To Koi Na Ho Teemardar

Aur Agar Mar Jaiye, to Nauhan Khwaan Koi Na Ho

Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi

Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi Ki Har Khwaish Pe Dam Nikle
Bahut Nikle Mere Arman Lekin Phir Bhi Kam Nikle

Nikalna Khuld Se Adam Ka Sunte Aaye Hain Lekin
Bahut Beaabru Hokar Tere Kuche Se Ham Nikle

Mohabbat Mein Nahi Hai Fark Jene Aur Marne Ka
Mohabbat Mein Nahi Hai Fark Jene Aur Marne Ka
Usi Ko Dekh Kar Jete Hain Jis Kafir Pe Dam Nikle
Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi Ki Har Khwaish Pe Dam Nikle
Bahut Nikle Mere Arman Lekin Phir Bhi Kam Nikle

Khuda Ke Vaste Parda Na Kaabe Se Utha Zalim
Khuda Ke Vaste Parda Na Kaabe Se Utha Zalim
Kahin Aisa Na Ho Yaan Bhi Wohi Kafir Sanam Nikle

Kahan Mainkhane Ka Darwaza Ghalib Aur Kahan Vaiz
Kahan Mainkhane Ka Darwaza Ghalib Aur Kahan Vaiz
Par Itna Jante Hain Kal Vo Jata Tha Ke Ham Nikle
Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi Ki Har Khwaish Pe Dam Nikle
Bahut Nikle Mere Arman Lekin Phir Bhi Kam Nikle
