TAJMAHAL
Haal hii mein puraanii film Leader dekh rahaa thaa to uss mein Shakeel Badayuni Saheb kaa likhaa hua giit thaa "Ik Shahanshah ne banwaa ke hasiin Tajmahal duniayaan waalon ko mahabbat kii nishaanii dii hai". Sahir Saheb kaa muriid hone kii wajah se mujhe bessakhtaa Sahir Saheb kii nazam "Tajmahal" yaad aa gayii. Main yeh nahin kehtaa ki Shakeel Saheb ke giit mein koyii kamii hai lekin yeh toh maanna paRhegaa ki unhon nein giit likhaa film kii zaroorat ke mutaabiq jab ki Sahir Saheb kii nazam bayaan kartii hai haqiqat-e-haaziraa ko.
Chalo, Sahir Saheb kii nazam paRh kar khud hii faislaa kar lijiye :-
TAJMAHAL
taaj tere liye ik mazahar-e-ulfat hii sahii
tum ko is vaadii-e-rangii.n se aqiidat hii sahii
mere mahabuub kahii.n aur milaa kar mujh se!
bazm-e-shaahii me.n Gariibo.n kaa guzar kyaa maanii
sabt jis raah pe ho.n satavat-e-shaahii ke nishaa.N
us pe ulfat bharii ruuho.n kaa safar kyaa maanii
merii mahabuub pas-e-pardaa-e-tashhiir-e-vafaa
tuu ne satavat ke nishaano.n ko to dekhaa hotaa
murdaa shaaho.n ke maqaabir se bahalevaalii
apane taariik makaano.n ko to dekhaa hotaa
anaginat logo.n ne duniyaa me.n muhabbat kii hai
kaun kahataa hai ki saadiq na the jazbe un ke
lekin un ke liye tashhiir kaa saamaan nahii.n
kyuu.N ke vo log bhii apanii hii tarah mufalis the
ye imaaraat-o-maqaabir ye fasiile.n, ye hisaar
mutal-qulhukm shahanashaaho.n kii azamat ke sutuu.N
daaman-e-dahar pe us rang kii gulakaarii hai
jis me.n shaamil hai tere aur mere ajadaad kaa Khuu.N
merii mahabuub! u.nhe.n bhii to muhabbat hogii
jinakii sannaa_ii ne baKhshii hai ise shakl-e-jamiil
un ke pyaaro.n ke maqaabir rahe benaam-o-namuud
aaj tak un pe jalaa_ii na kisii ne qa.ndiil
ye chamanazaar ye jamunaa kaa kinaaraa ye mahal
ye munaqqash dar-o-diivaar, ye maharaab ye taaq
ik shahanashaah ne daulat kaa sahaaraa le kar
ham Gariibo.n kii muhabbat kaa u.Daayaa hai mazaak
mere mahabuub kahii.n aur milaa kar mujhase!

DEKHAA HAI ZINDAGII KO KUCHH ITNAA KARIIB SE
Here is a beautiful nazam written by Sahir Saheb :-
DEKHAA HAI ZINDAGII KO KUCHH ITNAA KARIIB SE
Dekhaa hai zindagii ko kuchh itnaa qariib se
Chehare tamaam lagane lage hain ajiib se
Iss rengatii hayaat kaa kab tak uThaayein baar
Biimaar abb ulajhane lage hain tabiib se
[rengatii = crawling; baar = weight; tabiib = healers]
Har gaam par hai majamaa-e-ushshaaq muntazir
Maqtal kii raah milatii hai kuu-e-habiib se
[gaam = step; majamaa = crowd; ushshaaq = lovers (plural of aashiq)]
[maqtal = place where peopel are executed; kuu-e-habiib = friend's street]
Iss tarah zindagii ne diyaa hai hamaaraa saath
Jaise koyii nibaah rahaa ho raqiib se
[raqiib = rival]
ai ruuh-e-asar jaag kahaa.N so rahii hai tuu
aavaaz de rahe hai.n payambar saliib se

BAABUL KII DUAAYEIN LETII JAA
If you have never wept on seeing or hearing a movie song, have a look at this and try your self control. It is such a soulful song that Sahir Saheb put his soul in the song while writing it, Rafi Saheb put his soul in it while singing it and Balraj Sahni jii and Waheeda Rahman jii put their souls in it while enacting the scenes of the song. It is said that during the period this movie was released, Rafi Saheb actually sang this song on his daughter's marriage :-

SAHIR WAS AN INSTITUTION
SAHIR WAS AN INSTITUTION
and
above all, he was a rationalist.
See what he wrote for the movie Gumraah, as from a man who was the first love of a lady who is inclined to continue her relationship with him even after her marriage. Simply beautiful and equally well sung by Mahendra Kapoor.
Chalo ek baar phir se, ajnabi ban jaye ham dono
Na main tumse koi ummeed rakhoon dilnavaazi ki
Na tum meri taraf dekho galat andaaz nazaron se
Na mere dil ki dhadkan ladkhadaaye meri baaton mein
Na zaahir ho tumhaari kashm-kash ka raaz nazaron se
Chalo ek baar phir se..
Tumhen bhi koi uljhan rokti hai peshkadmi se
Mujhe bhi log kehte hain, ki yeh jalve paraaye hain
Mere hamraah bhi rusvaaiyaan hain mere maajhi ki
Tumhaare saath bhi guzri hui raaton ke saaye hain
Chalo ek baar phir se..
Taarruf rog ho jaaye to usko bhoolnaa behtar
Taalluk bojh ban jaaye to usko todnaa achchha
Voh afsaana jise anjaam tak laana na ho mumkin
Use ek khoobsoorat mod dekar chhodna achchha
Chalo ek baar phir se..

तलख़ियाँ - कभी कभी
Sahir's Talkhiyaan is a collection of Sahir's Ghazals, one of his foremost works. Kabhii Kabhii is one amongst them.

तलख़ियाँ - कभी कभी
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ख़याल आता है
कि ज़िंदगी तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों की नर्म छाओं में
गुज़रने पाती तो शादाब हो भी सकती थी
यह तीरगी जो मेरे ज़ीस्त का मुकद्दर है
तेरी नज़र की शुआँओं में खो भी सकती थी
अजब न था कि मैं बेगाना-ए-अलम रह कर
तेरे जमाल की रानाइयों में खो रहता
तेरा गुद्दाज़ बदन, तेरी नीमबाज़ आँखें
इन्हीं हसीन फ़सानो में महव हो रहता
पुकारतीं मुझे जब तलख़ियाँ ज़माने की
तेरे लबों से हलावत के घूँट पी लेता
हयात चीखती फिरती बरेहना-सर और मैं
घनेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों की छाओं में छुप के जी लेता
मगर ये हो न सका
मगर ये हो न सका और अब ये आलम है
कि तू नहीं, तेरा ग़म, तेरी जुस्तुज़ू भी नहीं
गुज़र रही है कुछ इस तरह ज़िंदगी जैसे
इसे किसी के सहारे की आरज़ू भी नहीं
ज़माने भर के दुखों को लगा चुका हूँ गले
गुज़र रहा हूँ कुछ अनजानी रहगुज़ारों से
मुहीब साये मेरी सिमट बढ़ते आते हैं
हयात-औ-मौत के पुर-हौल खार-ज़ारों से
न कोई जादा, न मंज़िल, न रोशनी का सुराग
भटक रही है ख़लाओं में ज़िंदगी मेरी
इन्हीं ख़लाओं में रह जाऊँगा कभी खो कर
मैं जानता हूँ मेरे हम-नफ़स, मगर यूँ हीं
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ख़याल आता है

परछाइयाँ
परछाइयाँ
जवान रात के सीने पे दूधिया आँचल
मचल रहा है किसी ख्वाबे-मरमरीं की तरह
हसीन फूल, हसीं पत्तियाँ, हसीं शाखें
लचक रही हैं किसी जिस्मे-नाज़नीं की तरह
फ़िज़ा में घुल से गए हैं उफ़क के नर्म खुतूत
ज़मीं हसीन है, ख्वाबों की सरज़मीं की तरह
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरतीं हैं
कभी गुमान की सूरत कभी यकीं की तरह
वे पेड़ जिन के तले हम पनाह लेते थे
खड़े हैं आज भी साकित किसी अमीं की तरह
इन्हीं के साए में फिर आज दो धड़कते दिल
खामोश होठों से कुछ कहने-सुनने आए हैं
न जाने कितनी कशाकश से कितनी काविश से
ये सोते-जागते लमहे चुराके लाए हैं
यही फ़िज़ा थी, यही रुत, यही ज़माना था
यहीं से हमने मुहब्बत की इब्तिदा की थी
धड़कते दिल से लरज़ती हुई निगाहों से
हुजूरे-ग़ैब में नन्हीं सी इल्तिजा की थी
कि आरज़ू के कंवल खिल के फूल हो जायें
दिलो-नज़र की दुआयें कबूल हो जायें
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
तुम आ रही हो ज़माने की आँख से बचकर
नज़र झुकाये हुए और बदन चुराए हुए
खुद अपने कदमों की आहट से, झेंपती, डरती,
खुद अपने साये की जुंबिश से खौफ खाए हुए
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
रवाँ है छोटी-सी कश्ती हवाओं के रुख पर
नदी के साज़ पे मल्लाह गीत गाता है
तुम्हारा जिस्म हर इक लहर के झकोले से
मेरी खुली हुई बाहों में झूल जाता है
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
मैं फूल टाँक रहा हूँ तुम्हारे जूड़े में
तुम्हारी आँख मुसर्रत से झुकती जाती है
न जाने आज मैं क्या बात कहने वाला हूँ
ज़बान खुश्क है आवाज़ रुकती जाती है
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
मेरे गले में तुम्हारी गुदाज़ बाहें हैं
तुम्हारे होठों पे मेरे लबों के साये हैं
मुझे यकीं है कि हम अब कभी न बिछड़ेंगे
तुम्हें गुमान है कि हम मिलके भी पराये हैं।
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
मेरे पलंग पे बिखरी हुई किताबों को,
अदाए-अज्ज़ो-करम से उठ रही हो तुम
सुहाग-रात जो ढोलक पे गाये जाते हैं,
दबे सुरों में वही गीत गा रही हो तुम
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
वे लमहे कितने दिलकश थे वे घड़ियाँ कितनी प्यारी थीं,
वे सहरे कितने नाज़ुक थे वे लड़ियाँ कितनी प्यारी थीं
बस्ती को हर-एक शादाब गली, रुवाबों का जज़ीरा थी गोया
हर मौजे-नफ़स, हर मौजे सबा, नग़्मों का ज़खीरा थी गोया
नागाह लहकते खेतों से टापों की सदायें आने लगीं
बारूद की बोझल बू लेकर पच्छम से हवायें आने लगीं
तामीर के रोशन चेहरे पर तखरीब का बादल फैल गया
हर गाँव में वहशत नाच उठी, हर शहर में जंगल फैल गया
मग़रिब के मुहज़्ज़ब मुल्कों से कुछ खाकी वर्दी-पोश आये
इठलाते हुए मग़रूर आये, लहराते हुए मदहोश आये
खामोश ज़मीं के सीने में, खैमों की तनाबें गड़ने लगीं
मक्खन-सी मुलायम राहों पर बूटों की खराशें पड़ने लगीं
फौजों के भयानक बैंड तले चर्खों की सदायें डूब गईं
जीपों की सुलगती धूल तले फूलों की क़बायें डूब गईं
इनसान की कीमत गिरने लगी, अजनास के भाओ चढ़ने लगे
चौपाल की रौनक घटने लगी, भरती के दफ़ातर बढ़ने लगे
बस्ती के सजीले शोख जवाँ, बन-बन के सिपाही जाने लगे
जिस राह से कम ही लौट सके उस राह पे राही जाने लगे
इन जाने वाले दस्तों में ग़ैरत भी गई, बरनाई भी
माओं के जवां बेटे भी गये बहनों के चहेते भाई भी
बस्ती पे उदासी छाने लगी, मेलों की बहारें ख़त्म हुई
आमों की लचकती शाखों से झूलों की कतारें ख़त्म हुई
धूल उड़ने लगी बाज़ारों में, भूख उगने लगी खलियानों में
हर चीज़ दुकानों से उठकर, रूपोश हुई तहखानों में
बदहाल घरों की बदहाली, बढ़ते-बढ़ते जंजाल बनी
महँगाई बढ़कर काल बनी, सारी बस्ती कंगाल बनी
चरवाहियाँ रस्ता भूल गईं, पनहारियाँ पनघट छोड़ गईं
कितनी ही कंवारी अबलायें, माँ-बाप की चौखट छोड़ गईं
इफ़लास-ज़दा दहकानों के हल-बैल बिके, खलियान बिके
जीने की तमन्ना के हाथों, जीने ही के सब सामान बिके
कुछ भी न रहा जब बिकने को जिस्मों की तिजारत होने लगी
ख़लवत में भी जो ममनूअ थी वह जलवत में जसारत होने लगी
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
तुम आ रही हो सरे-आम बाल बिखराये हुये
हज़ार गोना मलामत का बार उठाये हुए
हवस-परस्त निगाहों की चीरा-दस्ती से
बदन की झेंपती उरियानियाँ छिपाए हुए
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
मैं शहर जाके हर इक दर में झाँक आया हूँ
किसी जगह मेरी मेहनत का मोल मिल न सका
सितमगरों के सियासी क़मारखाने में
अलम-नसीब फ़िरासत का मोल मिल न सका
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
तुम्हारे घर में क़यामत का शोर बर्पा है
महाज़े-जंग से हरकारा तार लाया है
कि जिसका ज़िक्र तुम्हें ज़िन्दगी से प्यारा था
वह भाई 'नर्ग़ा-ए-दुश्मन' में काम आया है
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
हर एक गाम पे बदनामियों का जमघट है
हर एक मोड़ पे रुसवाइयों के मेले हैं
न दोस्ती, न तकल्लुफ, न दिलबरी, न ख़ुलूस
किसी का कोई नहीं आज सब अकेले हैं
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
वह रहगुज़र जो मेरे दिल की तरह सूनी है
न जाने तुमको कहाँ ले के जाने वाली है
तुम्हें खरीद रहे हैं ज़मीर के कातिल
उफ़क पे खूने-तमन्नाए-दिल की लाली है
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
सूरज के लहू में लिथड़ी हुई वह शाम है अब तक याद मुझे
चाहत के सुनहरे ख़्वाबों का अंजाम है अब तक याद मुझे
उस शाम मुझे मालूम हुआ खेतों की तरह इस दुनियाँ में
सहमी हुई दोशीज़ाओं की मुसकान भी बेची जाती है
उस शाम मुझे मालूम हुआ, इस कारगहे-ज़रदारी में
दो भोली-भाली रूहों की पहचान भी बेची जाती है
उस शाम मुझे मालूम हुआ जब बाप की खेती छिन जाये
ममता के सुनहरे ख्वाबों की अनमोल निशानी बिकती है
उस शाम मुझे मालूम हुआ, जब भाई जंग में काम आये
सरमाए के कहबाख़ाने में बहनों की जवानी बिकती है
सूरज के लहू में लिथड़ी हुई वह शाम है अब तक याद मुझे
चाहत के सुनहरे ख्वाबों का अंजाम है अब तक याद मुझे
तुम आज ह्ज़ारों मील यहाँ से दूर कहीं तनहाई में
या बज़्मे-तरब आराई में
मेरे सपने बुनती होगी बैठी आग़ोश पराई में।
और मैं सीने में ग़म लेकर दिन-रात मशक्कत करता हूँ,
जीने की खातिर मरता हूँ,
अपने फ़न को रुसवा करके अग़ियार का दामन भरता हूँ।
मजबूर हूँ मैं, मजबूर हो तुम, मजबूर यह दुनिया सारी है,
तन का दुख मन पर भारी है,
इस दौरे में जीने की कीमत या दारो-रसन या ख्वारी है।
मैं दारो-रसन तक जा न सका, तुम जहद की हद तक आ न सकीं
चाहा तो मगर अपना न सकीं
हम तुम दो ऐसी रूहें हैं जो मंज़िले-तस्कीं पा न सकीं।
जीने को जिये जाते हैं मगर, साँसों में चितायें जलती हैं,
खामोश वफ़ायें जलती हैं,
संगीन हक़ायक़-ज़ारों में, ख्वाबों की रिदाएँ जलती हैं।
और आज इन पेड़ों के नीचे फिर दो साये लहराये हैं,
फिर दो दिल मिलने आए हैं,
फिर मौत की आंधी उट्ठी है, फिर जंग के बादल छाये हैं,
मैं सोच रहा हूँ इनका भी अपनी ही तरह अंजाम न हो,
इनका भी जुनू बदनाम न हो,
इनके भी मुकद्दर में लिखी इक खून में लिथड़ी शाम न हो॥
सूरज के लहू में लिथड़ी हुई वह शाम है अब तक याद मुझे
चाहत के सुनहरे ख्वाबों का अंजाम है अब तक याद मुझे॥
हमारा प्यार हवादिस की ताब ला न सका,
मगर इन्हें तो मुरादों की रात मिल जाये।
हमें तो कश्मकशे-मर्गे-बेअमा ही मिली,
इन्हें तो झूमती गाती हयात मिल जाये॥
बहुत दिनों से है यह मश्ग़ला सियासत का,
कि जब जवान हों बच्चे तो क़त्ल हो जायें।
बहुत दिनों से है यह ख़ब्त हुक्मरानों का,
कि दूर-दूर के मुल्कों में क़हत बो जायें॥
बहुत दिनों से जवानी के ख्वाब वीराँ हैं,
बहुत दिनों से मुहब्बत पनाह ढूँढती है।
बहुत दिनों में सितम-दीद शाहराहों में,
निगारे-ज़ीस्त की इस्मत पनाह ढूँढ़ती है॥
चलो कि आज सभी पायमाल रूहों से,
कहें कि अपने हर-इक ज़ख्म को जवाँ कर लें।
हमारा राज़, हमारा नहीं सभी का है,
चलो कि सारे ज़माने को राज़दाँ कर लें॥
चलो कि चल के सियासी मुकामिरों से कहें,
कि हम को जंगो-जदल के चलन से नफ़रत है।
जिसे लहू के सिवा कोई रंग रास न आये,
हमें हयात के उस पैरहन से नफ़रत है॥
कहो कि अब कोई कातिल अगर इधर आया,
तो हर कदम पे ज़मीं तंग होती जायेगी।
हर एक मौजे हवा रुख बदल के झपटेगी,
हर एक शाख रगे-संग होती जायेगी॥
उठो कि आज हर इक जंगजू से कह दें,
कि हमको काम की खातिर कलों की हाजत है।
हमें किसी की ज़मीं छीनने का शौक नहीं,
हमें तो अपनी ज़मीं पर हलों की हाजत है॥
कहो कि अब कोई ताजिर इधर का रुख न करे,
अब इस जा कोई कंवारी न बेची जाएगी।
ये खेत जाग पड़े, उठ खड़ी हुई फ़सलें,
अब इस जगह कोई क्यारी न बेची जायेगी॥
यह सर ज़मीन है गौतम की और नानक की,
इस अर्ज़े-पाक पे वहशी न चल सकेंगे कभी।
हमारा खून अमानत है नस्ले-नौ के लिए,
हमारे खून पे लश्कर न पल सकेंगे कभी॥
कहो कि आज भी हम सब अगर खामोश रहे,
तो इस दमकते हुए खाकदाँ की खैर नहीं।
जुनूँ की ढाली हुई ऐटमी बलाओं से,
ज़मीं की खैर नहीं आसमाँ की खैर नहीं॥
गुज़श्ता जंग में घर ही जले मगर इस बार,
अजब नहीं कि ये तनहाइयाँ भी जल जायें।
गुज़श्ता जंग में पैकर जले मगर इस बार,
अजब नहीं कि ये परछाइयाँ भी जल जायें॥

बस्ती के सजीले शोख जवाँ, बन-बन के सिपाही जाने लगे
जिस राह से कम ही लौट सके उस राह पे राही जाने लगे
इन जाने वाले दस्तों में ग़ैरत भी गई, बरनाई भी
माओं के जवां बेटे भी गये बहनों के चहेते भाई भी
बस्ती पे उदासी छाने लगी, मेलों की बहारें ख़त्म हुई
आमों की लचकती शाखों से झूलों की कतारें ख़त्म हुई
धूल उड़ने लगी बाज़ारों में, भूख उगने लगी खलियानों में
हर चीज़ दुकानों से उठकर, रूपोश हुई तहखानों में
बदहाल घरों की बदहाली, बढ़ते-बढ़ते जंजाल बनी
महँगाई बढ़कर काल बनी, सारी बस्ती कंगाल बनी
चरवाहियाँ रस्ता भूल गईं, पनहारियाँ पनघट छोड़ गईं
कितनी ही कंवारी अबलायें, माँ-बाप की चौखट छोड़ गईं
इफ़लास-ज़दा दहकानों के हल-बैल बिके, खलियान बिके
जीने की तमन्ना के हाथों, जीने ही के सब सामान बिके
कुछ भी न रहा जब बिकने को जिस्मों की तिजारत होने लगी
ख़लवत में भी जो ममनूअ थी वह जलवत में जसारत होने लगी
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
तुम आ रही हो सरे-आम बाल बिखराये हुये
हज़ार गोना मलामत का बार उठाये हुए
हवस-परस्त निगाहों की चीरा-दस्ती से
बदन की झेंपती उरियानियाँ छिपाए हुए
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
मैं शहर जाके हर इक दर में झाँक आया हूँ
किसी जगह मेरी मेहनत का मोल मिल न सका
सितमगरों के सियासी क़मारखाने में
अलम-नसीब फ़िरासत का मोल मिल न सका
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
तुम्हारे घर में क़यामत का शोर बर्पा है
महाज़े-जंग से हरकारा तार लाया है
कि जिसका ज़िक्र तुम्हें ज़िन्दगी से प्यारा था
वह भाई 'नर्ग़ा-ए-दुश्मन' में काम आया है
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
हर एक गाम पे बदनामियों का जमघट है
हर एक मोड़ पे रुसवाइयों के मेले हैं
न दोस्ती, न तकल्लुफ, न दिलबरी, न ख़ुलूस
किसी का कोई नहीं आज सब अकेले हैं
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
वह रहगुज़र जो मेरे दिल की तरह सूनी है
न जाने तुमको कहाँ ले के जाने वाली है
तुम्हें खरीद रहे हैं ज़मीर के कातिल
उफ़क पे खूने-तमन्नाए-दिल की लाली है
तसव्वुरात की परछाइयाँ उभरती हैं
सूरज के लहू में लिथड़ी हुई वह शाम है अब तक याद मुझे
चाहत के सुनहरे ख़्वाबों का अंजाम है अब तक याद मुझे
उस शाम मुझे मालूम हुआ खेतों की तरह इस दुनियाँ में
सहमी हुई दोशीज़ाओं की मुसकान भी बेची जाती है
उस शाम मुझे मालूम हुआ, इस कारगहे-ज़रदारी में
दो भोली-भाली रूहों की पहचान भी बेची जाती है
उस शाम मुझे मालूम हुआ जब बाप की खेती छिन जाये
ममता के सुनहरे ख्वाबों की अनमोल निशानी बिकती है
उस शाम मुझे मालूम हुआ, जब भाई जंग में काम आये
सरमाए के कहबाख़ाने में बहनों की जवानी बिकती है
सूरज के लहू में लिथड़ी हुई वह शाम है अब तक याद मुझे
चाहत के सुनहरे ख्वाबों का अंजाम है अब तक याद मुझे
तुम आज ह्ज़ारों मील यहाँ से दूर कहीं तनहाई में
या बज़्मे-तरब आराई में
मेरे सपने बुनती होगी बैठी आग़ोश पराई में।
और मैं सीने में ग़म लेकर दिन-रात मशक्कत करता हूँ,
जीने की खातिर मरता हूँ,
अपने फ़न को रुसवा करके अग़ियार का दामन भरता हूँ।
मजबूर हूँ मैं, मजबूर हो तुम, मजबूर यह दुनिया सारी है,
तन का दुख मन पर भारी है,
इस दौरे में जीने की कीमत या दारो-रसन या ख्वारी है।
मैं दारो-रसन तक जा न सका, तुम जहद की हद तक आ न सकीं
चाहा तो मगर अपना न सकीं
हम तुम दो ऐसी रूहें हैं जो मंज़िले-तस्कीं पा न सकीं।
जीने को जिये जाते हैं मगर, साँसों में चितायें जलती हैं,
खामोश वफ़ायें जलती हैं,
संगीन हक़ायक़-ज़ारों में, ख्वाबों की रिदाएँ जलती हैं।
और आज इन पेड़ों के नीचे फिर दो साये लहराये हैं,
फिर दो दिल मिलने आए हैं,
फिर मौत की आंधी उट्ठी है, फिर जंग के बादल छाये हैं,
मैं सोच रहा हूँ इनका भी अपनी ही तरह अंजाम न हो,
इनका भी जुनू बदनाम न हो,
इनके भी मुकद्दर में लिखी इक खून में लिथड़ी शाम न हो॥
सूरज के लहू में लिथड़ी हुई वह शाम है अब तक याद मुझे
चाहत के सुनहरे ख्वाबों का अंजाम है अब तक याद मुझे॥
हमारा प्यार हवादिस की ताब ला न सका,
मगर इन्हें तो मुरादों की रात मिल जाये।
हमें तो कश्मकशे-मर्गे-बेअमा ही मिली,
इन्हें तो झूमती गाती हयात मिल जाये॥
बहुत दिनों से है यह मश्ग़ला सियासत का,
कि जब जवान हों बच्चे तो क़त्ल हो जायें।
बहुत दिनों से है यह ख़ब्त हुक्मरानों का,
कि दूर-दूर के मुल्कों में क़हत बो जायें॥
बहुत दिनों से जवानी के ख्वाब वीराँ हैं,
बहुत दिनों से मुहब्बत पनाह ढूँढती है।
बहुत दिनों में सितम-दीद शाहराहों में,
निगारे-ज़ीस्त की इस्मत पनाह ढूँढ़ती है॥
चलो कि आज सभी पायमाल रूहों से,
कहें कि अपने हर-इक ज़ख्म को जवाँ कर लें।
हमारा राज़, हमारा नहीं सभी का है,
चलो कि सारे ज़माने को राज़दाँ कर लें॥
चलो कि चल के सियासी मुकामिरों से कहें,
कि हम को जंगो-जदल के चलन से नफ़रत है।
जिसे लहू के सिवा कोई रंग रास न आये,
हमें हयात के उस पैरहन से नफ़रत है॥
कहो कि अब कोई कातिल अगर इधर आया,
तो हर कदम पे ज़मीं तंग होती जायेगी।
हर एक मौजे हवा रुख बदल के झपटेगी,
हर एक शाख रगे-संग होती जायेगी॥
उठो कि आज हर इक जंगजू से कह दें,
कि हमको काम की खातिर कलों की हाजत है।
हमें किसी की ज़मीं छीनने का शौक नहीं,
हमें तो अपनी ज़मीं पर हलों की हाजत है॥
कहो कि अब कोई ताजिर इधर का रुख न करे,
अब इस जा कोई कंवारी न बेची जाएगी।
ये खेत जाग पड़े, उठ खड़ी हुई फ़सलें,
अब इस जगह कोई क्यारी न बेची जायेगी॥
यह सर ज़मीन है गौतम की और नानक की,
इस अर्ज़े-पाक पे वहशी न चल सकेंगे कभी।
हमारा खून अमानत है नस्ले-नौ के लिए,
हमारे खून पे लश्कर न पल सकेंगे कभी॥
कहो कि आज भी हम सब अगर खामोश रहे,
तो इस दमकते हुए खाकदाँ की खैर नहीं।
जुनूँ की ढाली हुई ऐटमी बलाओं से,
ज़मीं की खैर नहीं आसमाँ की खैर नहीं॥
गुज़श्ता जंग में घर ही जले मगर इस बार,
अजब नहीं कि ये तनहाइयाँ भी जल जायें।
गुज़श्ता जंग में पैकर जले मगर इस बार,
अजब नहीं कि ये परछाइयाँ भी जल जायें॥

MAIN ZINDAGII KAA SAATH NIBHAATAA CHALAA GAYAA
Sahir Saheb ke khazaane kaa ek anmol moti :-
Song : MAIN ZINDAGII KAA SAATH NIBHAATAA CHALAA GAYAA
Movie : Hum Dono
Singer : Mohammad Rafi
Music Director : Jaidev
Lyricist : Sahir Ludhianvi
Main zindagii kaa saath nibhaataa chalaa gayaa
Har fikr ko dhunein mein uRhaataa chalaa gayaa
Barabaadiyon kaa sog manaanaa fizuul thaa
Barabaadiyon kaa jashn manaataa chalaa gayaa
Main zindagii kaa saath nibhaataa chalaa gayaa
Har fikr ko dhunein mein uRhaataa chalaa gayaa
Jo mil gayaa usii ko muqaddar samajh liyaa
Jo kho gayaa main usko bhulaataa chalaa gayaa
Main zindagii kaa saath nibhaataa chalaa gayaa
Har fikr ko dhunein mein uRhaataa chalaa gayaa
Gam aur khushii mein fark na mahasuus ho jahaan
Maiin dil ko us muqaam pe laataa chalaa gayaa
Main zindagii kaa saath nibhaataa chalaa gayaa
Har fikr ko dhunein mein uRhaataa chalaa gayaa
In a forum a question was raised as to what Sahir Saheb wants to convey in this particular couplet :-
Gam aur khushii mein fark na mahasuus ho jahaan
Maiin dil ko us muqaam pe laataa chalaa gayaa
Subject, of course, to what Sahir Saheb really had in his mind and what he actually wanted to convey, I offerred my point of view like this :-
I will like to say that what I can understand of this couplet is that in this couplet Sahir Saheb attempts to convey something spritual. He wants to say that our mental setup should not be affected by either of these two states of mind i.e. happiness and sorrows because both of these states of mind reflect momentary phases (I think kshanbhangur is the right word in Hindi). We should attain such higher intellectual levels and be over and above a normal human being so that our ego levels do not get inflated on getting small small happinesses and do not get deflated on confronting small small sorrows.
I am not sure but I do hope that I have been able to make some justice with what Sahir Saheb wanted to convey through this couplet.

GURU DUTT'S (OR SAHIR'S) PYAASA (1957)
GURU DUTT'S (OR SAHIR'S) PYAASA (1957)
COURTESY : http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/ducksoup/26/Films.htm#Pyaasa
Although Pyaasa is Guru Dutt's real masterpiece but it is, in fact, if one person is the soul of Pyaasa it is lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi on whose poems the lyrics were based. Sahir's words seem to articulate Guru Dutt's own view of the world and experience of tragedy. Pyaasa sees some of Sahir's best work. 'Yeh mehlon, yeh thakhton', 'Jaane woh kaise log the jinke' and 'Jinhe naaz hai Hind par woh kahaan hai' - the last looking at the disillusionment that had set in a decade after the giddy euphoria of Indian Independence. It was taken from his poem Chakle(Brothels). A fine example of political comment combined with humanitarian compassion.
It tells of the thirst for love, for recognition, for spiritual fulfilment. There is a strong parallel between the hero, a poet, the outsider trying to make a place for himself in the society he inhabits and the director, the outsider trying to leave his independent stamp in a world of formulaic cinema. It is in Pyaasa where we really see transcend way above the ordinary and succeed in totality. Many individual shots and scenes become impressionistic images telling of his lyricism. An example which immediately comes to mind is the song'Aaj sajan mohe ang lagalo.' It is a kirtan- a Bengali devotional song telling of longing and desire. Though we see baul singers perform the song, it in fact voices the prostitute's passion for the poet. She follows the poet up the stairs to the terrace where he stands his back to her. She moves towards him but cannot bring herself to touch him and she runs away. The earthly love she feels is uplifted and given a spiritual dimension through the words. And this is further reinforced by the amazing rendering of the song by Geeta Dutt. In the last scene of the film an instrumental version of the song is played as the prostitute overcome with joy at seeing the poet at her doorway runs down the steps of her house into his arms. They are one. What is most interesting to note in their relationship is that the prostitute shares with the poet a greater attraction for spiritual fulfilment rather than materialistic fulfilment.
In many of Guru Dutt's films we see him caught between two women - Baazi, Aar Paar, Kaagaz ke Phool and Sahib Bibi aur Ghulam. In Pyaasa too there is another woman , his ex-girlfriend from college who leaves him and marries for security. Her priority is clearly materialistic fulfilment. In fact though having negative shades to it, this is actually the more difficult and challenging role in the film as against the standard prostitute with a heart of gold. The role has its shades of grey and counts as one of actress Mala Sinha's better performances, otherwise a rather mechanical and melodramatic performer. Talking of the acting, Waheeda Rehman is outstanding in the role of the prostitute and Guru Dutt himself is fine in the role of the poet. Perhaps the parallels between him and the character help him in coming out with his best everscreen performance.
Interestingly, Pyaasa has that rare element in a Guru Dutt film. A song treated like a fantasy. An idyllic daydream of the hero. The song 'Hum aapki aankhon mein' is picturised amongst clouds as the heroine descends from the moon. It sticks out when viewed against the whole film. Perhaps Guru Dut picturised it in such a manner just to get back at the distributors who felt that an 'item' was needed! So he provided them with one!
The music by S.D. Burman is extraordinary as is the rendering of the songs. The background music helps to create the necessary atmosphere for a number of individual scenes. The Mala Sinha character has her own signature tune - a simple yet haunting melody played on the harmonica. Whenever the poet sees her, the tune is repeated representing for him the love he has lost.
To sum it up simply, a classic! Need one say more?!

RAMESH SEHGAL'S (OR SAHIR'S) PHIR SUBAH HOGI
RAMESH SEHGAL'S (OR SAHIR'S) PHIR SUBAH HOGI
Here is a brief write-up on the film “Phir Subah Hogi”. It is, in fact, a compendium of poetry written by Sahir Ludhianvi. The write-up also includes the title song of the Film “Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi”.
It is a must see for everybody to make a true assessment of “Meraa Bhaarat Mahaan”.
PHIR SUBAH HOGI
"Phir Subah Hogi (1958)" – a film by Ramesh Saigal - is basically a film version of Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment (1866)". From the point of view of Indian scenario, it is an emotional piece of work to inculcate a culture of social justice in tune with the human compassions. The film concentrates on the various malevolent aspects of city life like exploitation, crime, unpleasantness & slums and the struggle of the downtrodden even for their basic needs for their day-to-day living.
The film successfully brings out, in an extremely convincing manner, both the external and the internal conflicts of its characters. It is more or less a
philosophical dealing of the guilt and mental mayhem which go through the mind of the hero who accidentally murders someone. Raj Kapoor, in fact, gave one of his life best performances in this film. The character played by Raj Kapoor was, virtually, internalized by him and rendered mind blowing performance and in a perfectly befitting manner. His performance depicting a man fighting with himself and his guilt was par excellence.
Mala Sinha was in the female lead in the film and this film was amongst the better performances of her career.
Among the supporting cast, Rehman appearing as hero’s munificent friend who tries to help him out as much as he can and makes the most of it creating a character who though cannot be of much help but walk along as a true friend. Mubarak reflects strong screen presence in playing the role of the police officer trying to exploit the hero’s mental turbulence and ultimately to make him confess to the murder.
The film had excellent musical score by Khayyam and self-illuminating lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi.
Some extremely beautiful songs, written by Sahir Ludhianvi with Music by Khayyam were sung by Mukesh and Asha Bhonsle, the most glaring of which were :-
- Aasamaan pe hai khudaa aur zamiin pe ham
- Chiin-o-arab hamaaraa, hindostaan hamaaraa
- Phir naa kije merii gustaakh nigaahii kaa gilaa
- Woh subah kabhii to aayegii, Woh subah kabhii to aayegii
The best part for the song “Woh subah kabhii to aayegii”, of course was the modification from “Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi” to “Woh Subah Hum Hii Toh Laayeinge” at the end of the film which depicts Sahir's leaning towards a system of collective change.
Though released way back in 1958, the film still has relevance in the present times. In fact, the problems of poverty, homelessness, exploitation of the poor and corruption have multiplied manifold and even 60 years after of the Independence, we pray Woh Subah Kabhi to Aayegi…
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii,
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii
In kaalii sadiyon ke sar se, jab raat kaa aanchal Dhalakegaa
Jab dukh ke baadal pighaleinge, jab sukh kaa saagar chhalkegaa
Jab ambar jhoom ke naachegaa, jab dhartii naGame gaaegii
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii,
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii
Jis subah kii khaatir jug-jug se, ham sab mar-mar ke jiite hain
Jis subah ke amrit kii boond mein, ham zahar ke pyaale piite hain
Inn bhuukhii pyaasii ruuhon par, ek din to karam farmaayegii
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii,
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii
Maanaa ke abhii tere mere armaanon kii, kiimat kuchh bhii nahiin
miTTii kaa bhii hai kuchh mol magar, insaanon kii kiimat kuchh bhii nahiin
Insaanon kii izzat jab jhooThe sikkon mein naa tolii jaayegii
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii,
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii
Daulat ke liye jab aurat kii, ismat ko naa bechaa jaayegaa
Chaahat ko naa kuchalaa jaayegaa, gairat ko naa bechaa jaayegaa
Apnii kaalii kartooton par, jab ye duniyaa sharmaayegii
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii,
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii
Biiteinge kabhii to din aakhir, ye bhookh aur bekaarii ke
TuuTeinge kabhii to but aakhir, daulat kii ijaaredaarii ke
Jab ek anokhii duniyaa kii, buniyaad uThaaii jaayegii
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii,
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii
Majboor buRhaapaa jab soonii raahon mein dhool naa phaankegaa
Maasuum laRhakpan jab gandii galiyon mein bhiikh naa maangegaa
hak maangne vaalon ko, jis din soolii na dikhaaii jaayegii
Woh subah kabhii to aayegii,
Woh subah hum hii to laayeinge

Here is a brief write-up on the film “Phir Subah Hogi”. It is, in fact, a compendium of poetry written by Sahir Ludhianvi. The write-up also includes the title song of the Film “Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi”.
It is a must see for everybody to make a true assessment of “Meraa Bhaarat Mahaan”.
PHIR SUBAH HOGI
"Phir Subah Hogi (1958)" – a film by Ramesh Saigal - is basically a film version of Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment (1866)". From the point of view of Indian scenario, it is an emotional piece of work to inculcate a culture of social justice in tune with the human compassions. The film concentrates on the various malevolent aspects of city life like exploitation, crime, unpleasantness & slums and the struggle of the downtrodden even for their basic needs for their day-to-day living.
The film successfully brings out, in an extremely convincing manner, both the external and the internal conflicts of its characters. It is more or less a
philosophical dealing of the guilt and mental mayhem which go through the mind of the hero who accidentally murders someone. Raj Kapoor, in fact, gave one of his life best performances in this film. The character played by Raj Kapoor was, virtually, internalized by him and rendered mind blowing performance and in a perfectly befitting manner. His performance depicting a man fighting with himself and his guilt was par excellence.
Mala Sinha was in the female lead in the film and this film was amongst the better performances of her career.
Among the supporting cast, Rehman appearing as hero’s munificent friend who tries to help him out as much as he can and makes the most of it creating a character who though cannot be of much help but walk along as a true friend. Mubarak reflects strong screen presence in playing the role of the police officer trying to exploit the hero’s mental turbulence and ultimately to make him confess to the murder.

P y a a s a ( 1957 )
COURTESY : http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/ducksoup/26/Films.htm#Pyaasa
Pyaasa is real masterpiece of Guru Dutt (original name - Vasanth Kumar Shivashankar Padukone). The movie tells of the thirst for love, for recognition, for spiritual fulfilment. There is a strong parallel between the hero, a poet, the outsider trying to make a place for himself in the society he inhabits and the director, the outsider trying to leave his independent stamp in a world of formulaic cinema. It is in Pyaasa where we really see transcend way above the ordinary and succeed in totality. Many individual shots and scenes become impressionistic images telling of his lyricism. An example which immediately comes to mind is the song'Aaj sajan mohe ang lagalo.' It is a kirtan- a Bengali devotional song telling of longing and desire. Though we see baul singers perform the song, it in fact voices the prostitute's passion for the poet. She follows the poet up the stairs to the terrace where he stands his back to her. She moves towards him but cannot bring herself to touch him and she runs away. The earthly love she feels is uplifted and given a spiritual dimension through the words. And this is further reinforced by the amazing rendering of the song by Geeta Dutt. In the last scene of the film an instrumental version of the song is played as the prostitute overcome with joy at seeing the poet at her doorway runs down the steps of her house into his arms. They are one. What is most interesting to note in their relationship is that the prostitute shares with the poet a greater attraction for spiritual fulfilment rather than materialistic fulfilment.
In many of Guru Dutt's films we see him caught between two women - Baazi, Aar Paar, Kaagaz ke Phool and Sahib Bibi aur Ghulam. In Pyaasa too there is another woman , his ex-girlfriend from college who leaves him and marries for security. Her priority is clearly materialistic fulfilment. In fact though having negative shades to it, this is actually the more difficult and challenging role in the film as against the standard prostitute with a heart of gold. The role has its shades of grey and counts as one of actress Mala Sinha's better performances, otherwise a rather mechanical and melodramatic performer. Talking of the acting, Waheeda Rehman is outstanding in the role of the prostitute and Guru Dutt himself is fine in the role of the poet. Perhaps the parallels between him and the character help him in coming out with his best everscreen performance.
Interestingly, Pyaasa has that rare element in a Guru Dutt film. A song treated like a fantasy. An idyllic daydream of the hero. The song 'Hum aapki aankhon mein' is picturised amongst clouds as the heroine descends from the moon. It sticks out when viewed against the whole film. Perhaps Guru Dut picturised it in such a manner just to get back at the distributors who felt that an 'item' was needed! So he provided them with one!
The music by S.D. Burman is extraordinary as is the rendering of the songs. The background music helps to create the necessary atmosphere for a number of individual scenes. The Mala Sinha character has her own signature tune - a simple yet haunting melody played on the harmonica. Whenever the poet sees her, the tune is repeated representing for him the love he has lost.
But if one person is the soul of Pyaasa it is lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi on whose poems the lyrics were based. Sahir's words seem to articulate Guru Dutt's own view of the world and experience of tragedy. Pyaasa sees some of Sahir's best work. 'Yeh mehlon, yeh thakhton', 'Jaane woh kaise log the jinke' and 'Jinhe naaz hai Hind par woh kahaan hai' - the last looking at the disillusionment that had set in a decade after the giddy euphoria of Indian Independence. It was taken from his poem Chakle( Brothels ). A fine example of political comment combined with humanitarian compassion.
To sum it up simply, a classic! Need one say more?!

CHIIN-O-ARAB HAMAARAA, HINDUSTAAN HAMAARAA
Here is another beautiful number from "Phir Subah Hogi" :-
CHIIN-O-ARAB HAMAARAA, HINDUSTAAN HAMAARAA
Chiin-o-arab hamaaraa, hindostaan hamaaraa
Rahane ko ghar nahii hai, saaraa jahaan hamaaraa
Chiin-o-arab hamaaraa ...
Kholii bhii chhin gayii hai, benchein bhii chhin gayii hain
SaRhakon pe ghuumataa hai ye kaaravaan hamaaraa
Jebein hain apanii khaalii, kyuun detaa varanaa gaalii
Woh santarii hamaaraa, vo paasabaan hamaaraa
Chiin-o-arab hamaaraa ...
Jitanii bhii bildingein thiin, seThon ne baaNT lii hain
FuTapaath Bambayii ke hain aashiyaan hamaaraa
Sone ko ham kalandar, aate hain borii bandar
Har ek kholii yahaan hai raazadaan hamaaraa
Chiin-o-arab hamaaraa ...
Taaliim hai adhuurii, milatii nahii majuurii
Maaluum kyaa kisiiko, dard-e-nihaa.n hamaaraa
Chiin-o-arab hamaaraa ...
Patlaa hai haal-e-apnaa, lekin lahuu hai gaaRhhaa
Phaulaad se banaa hai, har naujavaan hamaaraa
Mil-julke is vatan ko, aisaa sajaayeinge ham
Hairat se munh thakegaa saaraa jahaan hamaaraa
Chiin-o-arab hamaaraa ...
