اک بانکپن سے جینا اک بانکپن سے مرنا

ہر دم دعائیں دینا ہر لحظہ آہیں بھرنا
ان کا بھی کام کرنا اپنا بھی کام کرنا

ہاں کس کو ہے میسر یہ کام کر گزرنا
اک بانکپن سے جینا اک بانکپن سے مرنا

جو زیست کو نہ سمجھیں جو موت کو نہ جانیں
جینا انہیں کا جینا مرنا انہیں کا مرنا

تیری عنایتوں سے مجھ کو بھی آ چلا ہے
تیری حمایتوں میں ہر ہر قدم گزرنا

ساحل کے لب سے پوچھو دریا کے دل سے پوچھو
اک موج تہ نشیں کا مدت کے بعد ابھرنا

اے شوق تیرے صدقے پہنچا دیا کہاں تک
اے عشق تیرے قرباں جینا ہے اب نہ مرنا

ہر ذرہ آہ جس کا لبریز تشنگی ہے
اس خاک کی بھی جانب اے ابر تر گزرنا

دریا کی زندگی پر صدقے ہزار جانیں
مجھ کو نہیں گوارا ساحل کی موت مرنا

رنگینیاں نہیں تو رعنائیاں بھی کیسی
شبنم سی نازنیں کو آتا نہیں سنورنا

اشکوں کو بھی یہ جرأت اللہ ری تیری قدرت
آنکھوں تک آتے آتے پھر دل میں جا ٹھہرنا

اے جان ناز آ جا آنکھوں کی راہ دل میں
ان خشک ندیوں سے مشکل ہو کیا گزرنا

ہم بے خودان غم سے یہ راز کوئی سیکھے
جینا مگر نہ جینا مرنا مگر نہ مرنا

کچھ آ چلی ہے آہٹ اس پائے ناز کی سی
تجھ پر خدا کی رحمت اے دل ذرا ٹھہرنا

خون جگر کا حاصل اک شعر تر کی صورت
اپنا ہی عکس جس میں اپنا ہے رنگ بھرنا

Saaqi-Nama


Here's a joint!

Two different poets; Two singers. 
The point of commonality is the spirit of the words: Ruthless. Killing.
Aren't these the kind of words that take your heart away? 

These are. These not only take it away; these words tear it down, chop it up, smash it, squeeze it ... 

... and draw the elixir out. 








Drew the elixir out!

But kia karain kay 'nasha baqadr-e hosla-e badakhuar tha!'

... Magar Hosh Nahin

As I let the sleep fairy engulf me into her soft embrace, lemme share here something that kept me a real charming company tonight ...

Warning: Its gonna cling to you! People not ready for such cling ons, listen at your own risk. :p


And yes, there are two versions ... the other version can be accessed through the link at the bottom of the post.






PS:

And I've just discovered that this verse was actually performed in a play by the Prithvi Theater. The theatrical version can be found here:


Enjoy! :)

Abida - The Delight To Senses


I was venturing out on youtube looking for something from Abida Parveen, something that could be used as a potion, when the catalyst was amiss. 
Listening to her usually does that ... acts as a potion, a catalyst; a reflective mirror to glance into the nooks hitherto invisible. A solace. A knowing companion.

Strangely enough Abida Parveen hadn't always been there in my idols of melody. Infact there were times I hardly thought I could ever listen to her. Not my cup of tea, thank you!  

But, then things dont remain the same always, do they?

Main nara e mastana was the song from where I joined the bandwagon of this phenomenon they call Abida!
Later, learning the art of listening to her, like one masters the strokes while diving into the sea,  was something I fell into without realizing; Perhaps, because I loved one so strong and since Abida seemed to make the part of the package of the whole that I loved. The intoxication didnt permit the realization bit, it just happened, as if on its own.  There was no looking back then.

And like any other gift of love, I am so glad it happened.


There are a few tracks of her that have already been shared at this blog. Today I was looking for something new, some unheard piece of hers, and I found quite a few lovely tracks. The mood is almost the same in almost all the tracks, so is the feeling, and yet the way each track varies in intensity with the subtlety of her expression is simply amazing.

I have been enjoying a gala this morning.








Okay, this last one wasn't unheard of before, yet since it made such a tasteful part of today's menu, I wont miss this one out...
