Haseen Chaand

A double treat for my readers - since I was inactive for long, I thought of putting up two pieces at the same time. Heavy dose for you guys?? :P

Phool khilte hain baharon mein gar jo aate ho tum
Jo na bhi aawo toh mitte rahe ye gul phir bhi,

Saansein meri ruk-ruk ke chalti hain jo na ho tum
Aur jo ho bhi tum to rukti nahi kambhakt phir bhi,

Zinda hua raat ki chaa gaya taaron ka jaal
Saba ki yaad mein rota hai ye dil phir bhi,

Aayi hai maut bankar abki saba ki khusboo
Na bhoolega dil sab me uge haseen chaand ko phir bhi.

Zabardast janaab! "Saansein meri ruk-ruk ke chalti hain jo na ho tum
Aur jo ho bhi tum to rukti nahi kambhakt phir bhi", ye to ghazab hi tha :)

The doomed diva

The doomed diva Har ek mod pe bas do hi naam milte hain Maut keh lo – jo muhabbat na kehne paao (There are only two names on each pathways (of life) Call it death, if you can’t call it love) I am sorry for even trying my hands at translating these beautiful verses portraying intense suffering, tragedy and clamour of an individual. Are there any guesses who penned these lines? I am sure very few of us would rightfully identify this poetess-in-oblivion who wrote many such verses and couplets as a personal way of registering, recording and dealing with her grief-stricken short life of forty odd years. She was born on 1st August 1932 in Mumbai to Ali Baksh and Iqbal Begum (renamed from Prabhawati Devi). Her father was an actor in Parsi theatre and also dabbled in Urdu poetry and occasionally gave music direction in Hindi movies. This girl, Mahjabeen Bano, was the youngest of her siblings and in the family mired in financial hardships she was literally forced to work in films. Her career st...

e - Exhibition

While cleaning my old stuff, I surprisingly found my once-lost sketch book, which is almost 12-13 years old. The moths have started preying on the book. The pages are torn too from the sideways. I thought it better to take the pictures of my "childhood skill" (pun intended) and put it here and share them with you guys. If you find that I was inclined to sketch female faces more than anything else, blame it on my "growing-up" phase. :D Enjoy:
