My friends,
Every once in a while, we come across a face so pretty, eyes so mesmerising, lips so lovely that it leaves an indelible mark on our heart and soul! I present here one of my favourite ghazals sung by Pakistani singer Ghulam Ali and written by Poet Bashar… dedicated to those lovely eyes and lips! Hope you enjoy it. Not only is the poetry beautiful, but if you were to listen to this lovely composition, you would surely become a Ghulam Ali fan!
Hont saagar hain, aankh paimaana
Husn tera hai - rushk-e-maikhana…
Hont saagar hain, aankh paimaana.
Unse bichhde to hum ne ye jaana
Kitna mushkil hai, dil ko behlaana…
Hont saagar hain, aankh paimaana.
So gaya chaand, chhup gaye taare
kaun sunta hai, gham ka afsaana…
Hont saagar hain, aankh paimaana.
Apni barbaadiyon pe kya royen
Shama ki zindagi hai jal jaana…
Hont saagar hain, aankh paimaana.
Ye bhi ab to Bashar ko yaad nahin
Ban gaya koi kaise begaana….
Hont saagar hain, aankh paimaana.
Hont saagar hain, aankh paimaana
Husn tera hai - rushk-e-maikhana.
Hont saagar hain, aankh paimaana…
(I am no expert on Urdu, but will try to give a few meanings here to make it easier for those that need help. Anybody with a better knowledge of Urdu is welcome to correct any mistakes!)
Saagar, paimaana - goblets of wine
Rushk-e-maikhaana - envy of the wine parlour
