(1) DUNIYA KISSISE PYAR MEIN:

Duniya kisi ke pyaar mein jannat se kam nahin
The world is nothing less than heaven if one is in love
Ik dilruba hai dil mein jo hooron se kam nahi
The one who resides in my heart is not any less than *hoors
(*hoors/=beautiful virgins available in heaven)

(Tum baadshaah-e-husn ho husn-e-jahaan ho)2
You are the most beautiful one in the world
Jaane wafa ho aur mohaabat ki shaan ho
You are my life and faith and pride of love
Jalwe tumhare husn ke taaron se kam nahin
The splendor of your beauty is not any less than the stars

Duniya kisi ke pyaar mein jannat se kam nahin
The world is nothing less than heaven if one is in love

(Bhoole se mushkurao to moti baras pade)2
Your ocassional smile is like rain of pearls
Palke utha ke dekho to, kaliyaan bhi has pade
Lifing your eyes and look, even the beauty of the flower
buds cannot compare
Khusboo tumhaari zulf ki phoolon se kam nahin
The fragrance of your hair is nothing less than that of a flower

Duniya kisi ke pyaar mein jannat se kam nahin
The world is nothing less than heaven if one is in love
Ik dilruba hai dil mein jo hooron se kam nahi
The one who resides in my heart is not any less than *hoors
(*hoors/=beautiful virgins available in heaven)

Duniya kisi ke pyaar mein jannat se kam nahin
The world is nothing less than heaven if one is in love

GHAZALS: GULON MAIN RANG BHARAY

SINGER: MEHNDI HASSAN

POET : FAIZ AHMAD FAIZ

(2) GULOAN MEIN RANG BHARE

(Gulon main rang bharay, baad-e-naubahaar chalay)2
Filled with colourful flowers, the early spring is on its way
Chalay bhi aao keh gulshan ka karobaar chalay
Oh please grace us with our presence, so that the early Spring can finish decorating the gardens
Gulon main rang bharay, baad-e-naubahaar chalay
Filled with colourful flowers, the early Spring is on its way

(Qaffas udaas hai yaro, saba say kuch to kaho)2
I am sad in my imprisonment (of love) come on breeze do something!!
Kaheen to behr-e-Khuda aaj zikr-e-yaar chalay
My lover's name is being uttered somewhere on god's earth, please bring it to me

Chalay bhi aao keh gulshan ka karobaar chalay
Oh please grace us with our presence, so that the early Spring can finish decorating the gardens
Gulon main rang bharay, baad-e-naubahaar chalay
Filled with colourful flowers, the early Spring is on its way

(Jo hum pay guzri so guzri magar shab-e-hijraan)2
Irrespective of my suffering due to our separation, my life was thrown into darkenss
Humaray ashk teri aaqibat sanwaar chalay
I hope that my tears will enhance your future

Chalay bhi aao keh gulshan ka karobaar chalay
Oh please grace us with our presence, so that the early Spring can finish decorating the gardens
Gulon main rang bharay, baad-e-naubahaar chalay
Filled with colourful flowers, the early Spring is on its way

(Maqaam 'Faiz' koi raah main jacha hee nahin)2
On my journey of love, Faiz, no rest stop appealed to me
Jo koo-e-yaar say niklay to soo-e-daar chalay
Because when I leave the street of my Beloved it will be towards death

Chalay bhi aao keh gulshan ka karobaar chalay
Oh please grace us with our presence, so that the early Spring can finish decorating the gardens
Gulon main rang bharay, baad-e-naubahaar chalay
Filled with colourful flowers, the early Spring is on its way

Kabhi to subh teray kunj-e-lab say ho aaghaaz
I hope that someday my morning will begin with the sound of your voice
Kabhi to shab sar-e-kaakul say mushkbaar chalay
And the night is scented with your beautiful curly hair

Baraa hai dard ka rishta, yeh dil ghareeb sahee
My heart recognises that this relationship of love is indeed painful
Tumhaaray naam pay aaen gay Ghamgusaar chalay
The pain given by you, will earn me a visit from the sympathizers

Hooa jo teer-e-nazar neemkash to kya hasil
There is no point in loving someone the half hearted way
Maza to jab hai keh seenay kay aar paar chalay
Fun is when the arrow pierces the heart all the way

Chalay bhi aao keh gulshan ka karobaar chalay
Oh please grace us with our presence, so that the early Spring can finish decorating the gardens
Gulon main rang bharay, baad-e-naubahaar chalay
Filled with colourful flowers, the early Spring is on its way

Huzoor-e-yaar hui daftar-e-junooN ka talab
My beloved presence made the desires grow into an obsession
Giraah main lay kay garaybaan ka taar taar chalay
All that is left, my clothes (tatters) heart (broken and painful) that I take with me

Chalay bhi aao keh gulshan ka karobaar chalay
Oh please grace us with our presence, so that the early Spring can finish decorating the gardens
Gulon main rang bharay, baad-e-naubahaar chalay
Filled with colourful flowers, the early Spring is on its way

sometimes more verses: but we are very lucky to have all the verses by the
Poet: Faiz Ahmad Faiz

The language of (Urdu) is very difficult to translate, especially when the word is sometimes never heard of, I am smiling with Ranjana for doing a superb job, never mind I have had to comeback to this the umpthteen times to get it right, all in order to produce a fine product:

GHAZAL: KHUDA KARE KE MOHABAT

SINGER: MEHNDI HASSAN

POET : TASLEEM FAZLI

(3) KHUDA KARE KE MOHABAT: MP :

(Khudaa kare ki muhabbat mein ye mukaam aaye)2
With God's blessing, may my love attain such height that
Kisii kaa naam luun lab pe tumhaaraa naam aaye
Whenever a name comes to my lips, it will be yours
Khudaa kare ki muhabbat mein ye mukaam aaye
With God's blessing, may my love attain such height

Kuchh is tarah se jiiye zindagii basar na hu_ii
I have lived in such a way that life has become intolerable
Tumhaare baad kisii raat kii sahar na hu_ii
After you my nights never turned into a dawn
Sahar nazar se mile zulf leke shaam aaye
My morning is lit by your eyes and your dark beautiful hair brings the evening to me

Kisii kaa naam luun lab pe tumhaaraa naam aaye
Whenever a name comes to my lips, it will be yours
Khudaa kare ki muhabbat mein ye mukaam aaye
With God's blessing, may my love attain such height

Khud apane ghar mein vo mehamaan ban ke aayen hain
She has entered her own house (my house) as a guest
Sitam to dekhi ye hai anjaan ban ke aayen hain
Look at her cruelty, She has come as a stranger (and will not belong to me)
Hamaare dil kii tadap aaj kuchh to kaam aaye
Today I will utilize all sorrows and pain my heart has experienced

Kisii kaa naam luun lab pe tumhaaraa naam aaye
Whenever a name comes to my lips, it will be yours
Khudaa kare ki muhabbat mein ye mukaam aaye
With God's blessing, may my love attain such height

Wohii hai saaz, wohii giit hai wohii manzar
The instrument is the same, as the song, the destination is the same
Har ek chiiz wohii hai nahiin ho tum wo magar
Everything is the same, only you are missing
Isii tarah se nigaahen woothi salaam aaye
Somehow let your eyes say salaam and come to me

Kisii kaa naam luun lab pe tumhaaraa naam aaye
Whenever a name comes to my lips, it will be yours
Khudaa kare ki muhabbat mein ye mukaam aaye
With God's blessing, may my love attain such height

Please do not come near me, it is very dark in here

Please call her as it is too dark in here

Abhii to sub'h ke maathe kaa rang kaalaa hai
Abhii fareb na khaao, baraa andheraa hai

(Pyaar bhare do sharmile nain)2
Those shy eyes are brimming with love
Jinse mila mere dil ko chain
The ones that restores my heart's peace
koi jaane na kyoon mujh se sharmaaye
No one knows why they are so shy of me
Kaise mujhe tadpaaye
and make me restless(for a lack of better word)

Pyaar bhare do sharmile nain
Those shy eyes are brimming with love

Dil ye kahe geet main tere gaaoon
My heart tells me to only sing for you
Tu hi sune aur main gaata jaaoon
You are my only audience and I keep on singing
Tu jo rahe saath mere
If you remain with me always
Duniya ko thuk raaoon tera dil behlaaoon
I will ignore the world and concentrate only on keeping you happy

Pyaar bhare do sharmile nain
Those shy are eyes brimming with love

Dar hai mujhe tujh se bichar na jaaoon
I am scared that I may be seperated from you
Kho ke tujhe milne ki raah na paaoon
What if I lose you and unable to find my way back to you?
Aisa na ho jab bhi tera naam labon par laaoon
Oh, I hope it does not happen that whenever your name comes to my lips
main aansoo ban jaaoon
It results into tears

Jinse mila mere dil ko chain
The one that restores my heart's peace
koi jaane na kyoon mujh se sharmaaye
No one knows why she is so shy of me
Kaise mujhe tadpaaye
and make me restless(for a lack of better word)

Tuu milaa hai to ye ehsaas hu'aa hai mujhko

Even that last breath, I have devoted to you
Tujh pe ho jaauungaa qurbaan tujhe chaahuungaa

Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar kiyaa karte hain
In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

Apne jazbaat mein naghmaat rachaane ke liye
To express my emotions in my songs
Main ne dharkan kii tarah dil mein basaayaa hai tujhe
I have kept you in my heart like a heartbeat
Main tasavvur bhii judaa'ii kaa bhalaa kaise karuun
How can I imagine, to be separated from you
Main ne qismat kii lakiiron se churaayaa hai tujhe
I have stole you for myself from the fate
Pyaar kaa ban ke nigehbaan tujhe chaahuungaa
I will be the caretaker for your love, so much I love you

Main tau mar kar bhii merii jaan tujhe chaahuungaa
I will love you even when I am dead
Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar kiyaa karte hain
In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

Terii har chaap se jalte hain khayaalon mein chiraag
The sounds of your footsteps light up my thoughts
Jab bhii tuu aaye jagaataa hu'aa jaaduu aaye
Whenever you appear, it is like live magic
Tujhko chhuu luun to phir ai jaan-e-tamannaa mujhko
If I touch you, my love
Der tak apne badan se terii Khushbuu aaye
Your fragrance eminates from my body for a long time
Tuu bahaaron kaa hai unvaan tujhe chaahuungaa
You are the one that tha Spring talks about, so much I love you

Main tau mar kar bhii merii jaan tujhe chaahuungaa
I will love you even when I am dead
Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar kiyaa karte hain
In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

GHAZAL: BAAT KARNI MUJHAY MUSHKIL:

SINGER: MEHNDI HASSAN

POET : BAHADUR SHAH ZAFAR:

(10) BAAT KARNE MUJHE MUSHKILL:MP 3:

(Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi)2
It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now
Jaisi ab hai, teri mehfil, kabhi aisi to na thi
Your gathering has never before been, like it is now
Baat karni

(Le gayaa cheen ke kaun aaj teraa sabr-o-qaraar?)2
Who has taken away your peace of mind and patience
Beqaraari tujhe, ae dil! kabhi aisi to na thi
My heart, you were never as uneasy like you are now

Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi
It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now
Baat karni

(Un ki aankhon ne, Khudaa jaane, kiyaa kyaa jaadoo)2
God only knows, what magic her eyes have weaved
Yeh tabeeyat meri maa'il(attracted) kabhi aisi to na thi
My feelings for her was never as attractive as it is now

Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi
It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now
Baat karni mujhe

Chashme qatil mere dushman ki hamesha lekin
Jaise ab hogaee qatil kabhi aisee to na thi
Your gathering has never before been, like it is now

(Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi)2
It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now
Baat karni

Kyaa sabab tu jo bigar taa hai 'zafar' se har baar?
What is the reason, you get offended at 'zafar' all the time
Khoo teri hoor-e-shimaa'il kabhi aisi to na thi
You, the best angel, never had a habit, like you have now

(Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi)2
It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now
Jaisi ab hai, teri mehfil, kabhi aisi to na thi
Your gathering has never before been, like it is now
Baat karni

POET : TASLEEM FAZLI

(11) RAFTA RAFTA WOH MERI: MP 3:

(Rafta rafta woh meri hasti ka saamaan ho gayey)2
Slowly and steadily, she became the part of my identity,
(Pehlay jaan, phir jaan-e-jaan,)2 phir jaan-e-jaana ho gayey
First love, then life and then she became the reason of my life
Rafta rafta woh meri hasti ka saamaan ho gayey
Slowly and steadily, she became the part of my identity

Pehlay jaan, phir jaan-e-jaan, phir jaan-e-jaana ho gayey
First love, then life and then she became the reason of my life
Rafta rafta woh meri hasti ka saamaan ho gayey
Slowly and steadily, she became the part of my identity,

(Din-b-din badnay gayi us husn ki raana iyaan,)2
As each day passed, her beauty was crossing all the limits,
(Pehlay Gul, phir gul-badan,)2 phir gul-badamaan ho gayey
First she was like a rose bud, then a very delicate rose and
then she became like a fully blossomed garden

Rafta rafta woh meri hasti ka saamaan ho gayey
Slowly and steadily, she became the part of my identity,
(Pehlay jaan, phir jaan-e-jaan,)2 phir jaan-e-jaana ho gayey
First love, then life and then she became the reason of my life
Rafta rafta woh meri hasti ka saamaan ho gayey
Slowly and steadily, she became the part of my identity,

(Aap to nazdeek say nazdeek-tar aatay gayey,)4
You came close and then started getting closer,
(Pehlay dil, phir dilruba,)2 phir dil kay mehmaan ho gayey
First part of my heart then my heart's desire then came a beloved guest
and finally you became part of me

Rafta rafta woh meri hasti ka saamaan ho gayey,
Slowly and steadily, she became the part of my identity

(Pyar jab hadd se barha)2 saare Taqaloof mith gayey,)2
When the love grew beyond the limits, all inhibitions were abandoned
**(Aap se phir tum huay)2 phir tu ka Khunwaan hogayey
The formalities were no longer observed until you bacame a part of me

Rafta rafta woh meri hasti ka saamaan ho gayey,
Slowly and steadily, she became the part of my identity
(Pehlay jaan, phir jaan-e-jaan,)2 phir jaanayjaana ho gayey
First love, then life and then she became the reason of my life
Rafta rafta woh meri hasti ka saamaan ho gayey,
Slowly and steadily, she became the part of my identity

**THIS IS TRICKY TO TRANSLATE AAP, TUM AND TU, ARE THE WAY ONE ADDRESSES

AAP= FORMAL YOU,
TUM=YOU FOR A FRIEND,
TU=YOU FOR VERY CLOSE

(Tujh ko aate hii nahiin chhupane ke andaaz abhii)2
You do not know the art of hiding (emotions) yet
Mere siine mein hain larzaan terii aavaaz abhii
My heart is still throbbing with the sound of your voice
(Tujh ko aate hii nahiin chhupane ke andaaz abhii)2
You do not know the art of hiding (emotions) yet

He has not seen the beginning of pain (that love causes)
Ishq ko apanii tamannaaon pe hai naaz abhii
He is still proud of the love and its desires

Mere siine mein hain larzaan terii aavaaz abhii
My heart is still throbbing with the sound of your voice
(Tujh ko aate hii nahiin chhupane ke andaaz abhii)2
You do not know the art of hiding (emotions) yet

(Tujh ko manzil pe pahunchane kaa hai daavaa ham dam)2
I am committed to get you to your destination my love
Mujh ko anjaam nazar aataa hai aagaaz abhii
I have already seen the end, but we have just started,

Mere siine mein hain larzaan terii aavaaz abhii
My heart is still throbbing with the sound of your voice
(Tujh ko aate hii nahiin chhupane ke andaaz abhii)2
You do not know the art of hiding (emotions) yet

(Kis qadar gosh-bar-aavaaz hai Khaamoshii-e-shab)2
The sound of silence is resounding in my ears
Koii naalaa ki hai fariyaad kaa kaa dar baaz koii
Why this wailing, has someone given you a cause to complain?

Mere siine mein hain larzaan terii aavaaz abhii
My heart is still throbbing with the sound of your voice
(Tujh ko aate hii nahiin chhupane ke andaaz abhii)2
You do not know the art of hiding (emotions) yet

(Mere chehare kii hansii rang-e-shikastaa meraa)2
My laughter is hiding my sadness and failure
Tere ashkon mein 'Tabassum' kaa hai andaaz abhii
Your tears, Tabassum, still have the art of flowing

Mere siine mein hain larzaan terii aavaaz abhii
My heart is still throbbing with the sound of your voice
(Tujh ko aate hii nahiin chhupane ke andaaz abhii)2
You do not know the art of hiding (emotions) yet

GHAZAL:YUN ZINDAGI KI RAH MEIN

MEHNDI HASSAN:

POET:QATEEL SHAFAAI

(14) YUN ZINDAGI KI RAH MEIN: MP 3:

Yun zindagi ki raah mein takra gya koi
I ran into someone on the road of life
Ik roshni andhroun mein bikhra gya koi
Someone brought light into the darkness surrounding me

Woh haadsa woh pehli mulaakat kya kahoon
What can I tell you about this incident,
when I met her for the first time
Kitni ajab soorat e haalaat kya kahoon
I cannot tell you how strange those circumstances were
Woh kehar woh ghazab woh jafa mujh ko yaad hai
That terrible and strange day, her deceit, I remember it all
Woh uski be-rukhi ki adaa mujh ko yaad hai
I also remembered her pretended unfriendly behaviour
Mit-ta nahi hai zehn pay yun chhaa gya koi
Such a lasting impression I am unable to remove from my conscious mind

Yun zindagi ki raah mein takra gya koi
I ran into someone on the road of life

Pehlay mujhay woh dekh kay barham si ho gayee
At first when she saw me, she got upset
Phir apnay he haseen khyaaloun mein kho gayee
And then she was lost in her own thoughts
Bechaargi pe meri usay reham aagya
But she felt pity for my sad condition
Shayed meray tarapnay ka andaaz bhaa gya
Perhaps she liked the way I was pining for her
Saansoun se bhi kareeb mere aa gya koi
Someone has become closer than my breath is to me

Yun zindagi ki raah mein.....
I ran into someone on the road of life

Yun usnay pyar say meri baanhoun ko chhoo liya
The way she touched my arm with love
Manzil nay jaisay shauk ki raahoun ko chhoo liya
It was like the destination reached out and touched the road
Ik pal mein dil pe kaisi qayamat guzar gayee
In that one moment, my heart dies a thousand deaths
Rag rag mein uskE HUSAUN KI khushbu bikhar gayee
I was overwhelmed by her beauty which surrounded me like fragrances
Zulfoun ko mere shaanay pe lehra gya koi
Someone let their hair lay on my shoulders

Yun zindagi ki raah mein takra gya koi
I ran into someone on the road of life

Ab is dil-e-tabaah ki haalat na poochiye
Now do not ask the condition of my heart
Be-naam aarzu'oun ki lizzat na poochiye
Do not ask me about the joys of desires (unmentionable)
Ik ajnabi tha rooh ka armaan ban gya
This stranger became the desires of my soul
Ik haadsa tha pyar ka, unwaan ban gya
It was a co-incident but it became a Legend of Love
Manzil ka raasta mujhe dikhla gya koi
Someone showed me the road to my destination

Yun zindagi ki raah mein takra gya koi
I ran into someone on the road of life

GHAZAL:AB KE HUM BICHDE TO SHAAYAD:

MEHNDI HASSAN:

POET: AHMAD FARAAZ

(15) AB KE HUM BICHDE TO SHAAYAD:MP 3:

Ab kay hum bichday to shaayad kabhi khawabon may miley,
This time if we part, then we may meet in the dreams
Jis tarah sookhay huey phool kitabon mein miley
Like dry flowers are found in books

Tu khuda hai na mera ishq farishton jaisa,
Neither you are God nor is my love like an angel,
Dono insaan hain to kyon itnay hijaabon mein miley
If we both are human beings, then why should we meet in hiding

Ab kay hum bichday to shaayad kabhi khawabon may miley,
Now that we are parting our ways, may be we will meet in dreams,

ghum-e dunya bhi ghum-e yaar mein shamil kar lo
Why not add the sorrows of the world to the sorrows caused by my beloved
nasha bartha hain sharabein jo sharaboon main milain
After all when the drinks are mixed, the intoxication increases

Ab kay hum bichday to shaayad kabhi khawabon may miley,
Now that we are parting our ways, may be we will meet in dreams,

Ab na woh main hoon na tu hain na woh maazi hai `Faraaz',
You and I are not the same, nor do we have the same destination Faraz
Jaisay do saayey tamana kay sehraon mein miley
It is like two shadows meeting in the desert of wishes

Ab kay hum bichday to shaayad kabhi khawabon may miley,
Now that we are parting our ways, may be we will meet in dreams,
Jis tarah sookhay huey phool kitabon mein miley
Like dry flowers are found in books

MEHNDI HASSAN:

POET:MASROOR RANA:


His performances of Ghazals inscribes in listeners mind that sense of humanity that is exclusively of its own. Therefore, he holds a singular place in our hearts. The song below had evoked tears even from the strongest of Lovers:

(16) MUJHAY TUM NAZAR SAY::

Mujhe tum nazar say gira tou rahe ho
I know that I am falling, in your estimation
(My worth is going down in your eyes)
Mujhe tum kabhi bhi bhula na sakoge
You will never be able to forget me
Na jaanaye mujhe kyoun yaqeen ho chala hai
I dont know why I firmly believe that
Meray pyaar ko tum mitta na sakoge
You will not be able to anhilate my love (for you)

Mujhe tum nazar say
I know that my worth is falling

Meri yaad hogi jidhar jaoge tum
My memories will follow you whereever you go
Kabhi naghma bun kay kabhi bun kay aanso
Sometimes in forms of tears and sometime as songs
Tarapta mujhe har taruf paoge tum
Where ever you look you will find me pining for you
Shamma jo jalaee hai meri wafa naye
My devotion/love is like a lighted candle
Bhujana bhi chahoo bhuja na sakoge
Even if you wish to extinguish this candle you will not succeed

Mujhe tum nazar say
I know that my worth is falling

Kabhi naam baatoun main aya jo mera
When my name comes up in your chit-chat
Tou baychain ho ho kay dil thaam loge
You will become restless and try to calm your heart
Nighaoun main chayega ghum ka andhera
You will be blinded by Darkness of Sorrows
Kissi ne jo poocha sabub aansoun ka
When someone wants to enquire about the tears you are shedding
Batana bhi chaaho bata na sakoge
Even if you want to confide, you would not be able to

Mujhe tum nazar say gira tou rahe ho
I know that I am falling, in your estimation
My worth is going down in your eyes
Mujhe tum kabhi bhi bhula na sakoge
You will never be able to forget me

Joannie, it is nice to be back with my friends, the flashbacks will come, those of happier and sad times, but all this make up the healing process, and the blow that fate dealt us, will someday subside.

GHAZAL:TUM ZID TU KAR RAHE HO:

MEHNDI HASSAN:

POET:????????

(17) TUM ZID TO KAR RAHAY HO

Tum zid to kar rahe ho, hum kya tumhe sunaaye
You are forcing me but what should I sing for you?
nagme jo kho gaye hain, unko kahan se laayen
The songs that are lost, where should I go looking for them

Tum zid to kar rahe ho
You are forcing me

(Kuch der mere gham ko, mahsoos karke dekhen)2
For just a little while, try to feel my sorrow
ek raahe bekasi se, (koi guzar ke dekhen)2
Some one should try and walk on the road of hopelessness
saaye mein ansuoon ke, ham kaise muskuraayen
In the shadows of tears, how should I smile?

Tum zid to kar rahe ho
You are forcing me

(Haalat ke iraade, Majboor ho gaye hain)2
The circumstances have made me helpless
nazdeek aate aate, (ham door ho gaye hain)2
When I was getting so close to you, we have been driven apart
In vadeeyo se kahdo, ab hamko bhool jaye
Tell this beautiful vista, that it is best to forget me
nagme jo kho gaye hain, unko kahan se laayen
The songs that are lost, where should I go looking for them

Tum zid to kar rahe ho
You are forcing me

Thanks Sis.

Ustad Mehdi Hassan explaining the intricacies of music to Munni.

His deep husky voice respondet with pathos is one of the most moving experiences for music lovers. He has tremendous control over all the technical ragas which he renders in his ghazals with incomparable dexterity. His ever-popular ghazals include among others "Ranjish hi Sahi". "Baat karni mujhe mushkil", "Ghazab kiya tere waade pe" and "gulon mein rang bhare".

GHAZAL:MUDDAT HUI HAI YAAR KO:

MEHNDI HASSAN:

POET:MIRZA GHALIB:

(18) MUDDAT HUI HAI YAAR KO

(Muddat huee hai yaar ko mehmaan kiye hue)2
It's been a while since I called my beloved, a guest
Josh-e-qadah se bazm chiraaghaan kiye hue
A while since a gathering was heated up with the vigour of goblets
Muddat huee hai yaar ko mehmaan kiye hue
It's been a while since I called my beloved, a guest

(Jee Dhoondta hai fir wohee fursat ke raat din)2
My heart searches again, for those same old days and nights, when
Baithe rahaim tasavvur-e-jaanaan kiye hue
I used to sit just like that, imagining about my beloved

Muddat huee hai yaar ko
It's been a while since I called my beloved, a guest

ik nau_bahaar-e-naaz ko taaqe hai fir nigaah
again my eyes are looking at the inspiration of the new spring(my beloved)
chehra furoGH-e-mai se gulistaaN kiye hue
the beauty(brightness) of your face is making the flowers of the gardens intoxicated

(Muddat huee hai yaar ko mehmaan kiye hue)2
It's been a while since I called my beloved, a guest

GHalib hamein na ched ki fir josh-e-ashq se
Ghalib don't tease me with the enthusiasm of tears, for
Baithe hain ham tahayya-e-toofaan kiye hue
I sit with the determination of facing a storm
Josh-e-qadah se bazm chiraaghaan kiye hue
A while since a gathering was heated up with the vigour of goblets

Muddat huee hai yaar ko mehmaan kiye hue
It's been a while since I called my beloved, a guest

Karta hoon jama'a fir jigar-e-lakht-lakht ko
Again, I gather the scattered pieces of my heart
Arsa hua hai daawat-e-mizhgaan kiye hue
It's been a while since my eyelids have been given the treat of tears

Fir waz'a-e-'ehtiyaat se rukane laga hai dam
Again, I feel uncomfortable of observing the wordly etiquette
Barson hue hain chaak girebaan kiye hue
It's been years since I have given way to my passion of sorrows for you

Trans: Ranjana/????

This Ghazal consists of fifteen verses, only three were sung by Mehndi Hassan:

Treated as in partying. Ghalib's heart has broken into many pieces once
again, due to some sad news. It's been a while since he last cried. Now, the
news is so bad that he won't stop crying - a real treat for his eyelids.

A person who tears up his shirt is either mad, or clamours because of pitiable
state of affairs. Ghalib has, again, been hiding his actual state of
affairs of penury and sorrow, thanks to his careful behaviour. His normal
nature should have been to tear up his shirt. He is feeling ill at ease in
his mind, to such an extent that he is choking from it.

When a man cries, he either feels depressed, or consoles himself saying
'..no, this is not the way. i have to do something. crying is not the
solution'. Ghalib is in the latter frame of mind. His repeated
crying (josh-e-ashq), has steeled him and he has the determination, now, to
face a storm. So he tells himself 'Don't tease me and make me cry again. I
sit with a determination of facing a storm'.

Will get back to this one for trans for the second verse:

Lyrics: Meer Taqi Meer
Artist: mehndi hassan

Patta patta, boota boota, haal hamaaraa jaane hai,
Every leaf and every shrub here knows of my state
Jaane na jaane gul hi na jaane, baagh to saaraa jaane hai
It is the flower that is unaware, but all the bower knows

Chaaragari beemari-e-dil ki rasm-e-shahr-e-husn nahin,
It is not their way, to heal: these denizens of the city of love
Warna dilbar naadaan bhi is dard ka chaara jaane hai
Yet even the innocent ones know the cure to a sick heart

Patta patta, boota boota, haal hamaaraa jaane hai,
Every leaf and every shrub here knows of my state

Mehr-o-wafa-o-lutf-o-inaayat, ek se waaqif in mein nahin,
Not one here knows of kindness, loyalty, grace or generosity
Aur to sab kuch tanz-o-kanaya, ramz-o-ishaara jaane hai
Cruelty, sarcasm, mockery and taunts, of these they know

Patta patta, boota boota, haal hamaaraa jaane hai,
Every leaf and every shrub here knows of my state

Will put this in its right perspective later:

Aage us mutkabbar ke ham Khuda Khuda kiya karte hain,
We prostrated before the arrogant one, called him ˜Khuda'
Kab maujud Khuda ko woh maghrur khud-aara jaane hai
In the name of God, what does that insolent one know of Him

Aashiq saa to saada koi aur na hoga duniya mein,
There is no one in the world quite as naïve as a lover
Ji ke zian ko ishq mein uske apna waara jaane hai
The squandering of his heart he sees as ecstasy

Aashiq to murda hai hamesha ji uthta hai dekhe use,
He is but a corpse, the lover, but see! he lives again
Yaar ke aa jaane ko yakaayak umr do baara jaane hai
She has come of a sudden and it is another lease on life

Kya kya fitne sar par uske laata hai maashooq apnaa
What disasters our lover brings down on his own head,
Jis bedil betaab-o-tavaan ko ishq ka maaraa jaane hai
That restless, listless soul we had given up as lost

Tashna-e-khun hai, apna kitna ˜Mir' bhi naadaan, talkhi-kash,
Parched for blood he is, and ˜Mir' the simpleton
Damdaar aab-e-tegh ko uske aab-e-gawara jaane hai
Thinks the sharp edge of a blade an elixir

Will get Ranjana expertise on these verses:
Yaahi shikaar-farebi par magroor hai woh sayyad bachcha
Ta'er udte hawa men saare apni ussaara jaane hai

[Yaahi = this; shikaar = prey; farebi = deceitful; magroor = arrogant; sayyad = hunter; ussara = limitless, endless]

Rakhnon se deewaar-e-chaman ke munh ko le hai chipaa ya'ani
Un suraakhon ke tuk rahne ko sou ka nazaaraa jaane hai

[rakhna = gap; deewar-e-chaman = garden wall; suraakh = hole, aperture; sou = ?; souq?]

Lagne na de bas ho to uske gohar-e-gosh ke baale tak
Usko falak chashm-e-mai-o-khor ki teetli ka taaraa jaane hai

[gohar = pearl; gosh = ear; baale = earring; falak = sky; chashm = eye; mai = wine]

Mir at his most convoluted. An earring, a pearl, a winejar and a star in the sky - there are all these elements; and whether Mir means to see a pearl hanging from an earlobe through the spout of a winejar and perceives it as a star in the sky, or the other way round, I have no idea. I may add, after reading it a sufficient number of times, I no longer care.

Trans Ranjana

Mirza Ghalib, in his ghazal "Dil e nadaan" has spoken of love, justice, human values, mysticism etc., each in a different couplet. Couplets in a ghazal are like gems of a beautiful necklace the luster of which is timeless.

Hey, Suraiya singing Ghalib's Dil E Nadaan Tujhe with Talat Mahmood is really nostalgic.

DIL E NADAAN TUJHAY HUWA KYA HAI

The Mughuls (1526-1857 AD)

The most important, politically and culturally, dynasty of Indian muslim kings was that of Mughals. Mughal dynasty started with Babar defeating Ibrahim Lodhi in 1526 and continued till Aurangzeb's death in 1707. Minor mughal kings ruled Delhi until 1857, when Bahadur Shah Zafar was finally banished to Rangoon. These years saw the emergence of Dhrupad as the main style of music in the courts of north India. That was also the beginning of Khayal and Ghazal as styles of music which came into prominence later.

Nayak Bhakshu, an eminent Dhrupad singer and composer served in the court of Humayun the second emperor after Babar. It was during this period that Dhrupad became the court music of Mughal emperors. Later a thousand of his lyrics were collected under orders from Emeror Shah Jahan and are called Sahasras or Hazar Dhurpad.

During the reign of Akbar several prominent dhrupad artists flourished. Most prominent among them was Tansen. Tansen is credited with reshaping the entire of Dhruvapada music by the addition of new Persian ornamentations in Meend, Gamaka etc. He is also credited with the development of the Rabab (Rudra-Veena). Tansen also created many new ragas which, up till now, are regarded as the foremost ragas of Northern India. Some of these are noteworthy, e.g. Darbari Kanada, Darbari Todi, Miya ki Malhar, Miya ki Sarang. Other famous musicians in Akbar's court were Baiju Bawra, Ramdas and Tanrang. Just like Amir Khusro, with Tansen it is difficult to separate myth from reality. Stories and myths about him and his duels with Baiju Bawra abound. Almost every major Gharana of present day Hindustani trace their lineage to Tansen. Swami Haridas of Brindavan who is considered the guru of Tansen was an influential musician during that time.

Akbar's son Jahangir(1605-1627) and grandson Shah Jahan(1627-1658) were both great patrons of art and music flourished under their rule. Various disciples of Swami Haridas (and Tansen) spreadout and became court musicians in various small kingdom's in the Mughal empire like Jaipur, Punjab, Gwalior, Lucknow etc. The famous Seni Gharanas were founded by the sons of son-in-law of Tansen.

Aurangzeb (1658-1707), a religious fanatic, During the tenth year of his reign, banned music. He forbade its presence in court as well as all public performances. Court officials entered households and smashed musical instruments. Aurangzeb's dislike of music is well illustrated in a common story. It appears that during his administration a group of musicians, disheartened with their lack of patronage, took some musical instruments and wrapped them in the manner of a corpse and held a funeral procession in protest. Aurangzeb enquires about the procession and is told it is a burial to signify the death of music. Whereupon it is said that the emperor declares, "Good! bury it so deep that never a sound should be heard again". Musicians either went underground or simply took up other means of livelihood. The situation can be compared to the fate of Iranian music after the Islamic revolution of 1979.

Mughal empire broke up soon after the death of Aurangzeb. Provential governors declared independence and Mughal emperor's authority didn't reach far outside Delhi's redfort. But, music did come back to the court in Delhi. Beginning of Khayal style of Hindustani music can be traced to the court of Muhammad Shah 'Rangile' (1720-1748). Popularly called Rangile because of his patronage of arts. But repeated external attacks on the empire by Afghans, Persians and others was not conducive to it. The last emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II (1837-1857) was a great patron of music and literature. Music, esp. Ghazals, flourished in his court. With the defeat of Indian kings in the first was of independence, the emperor was exiled to Rangoon bringing an end to the Mughal empire and 650 years of Muslim rule in Delhi.

GHAZALS:

MEHNDI HASSAN:

(22) MOHABAT KARNE WALAY KAM NA HOGI:

This one is next on the list: will get to later

mohabbat karanevaale kam na honge
terii mahafil mein lekin ham na honge

mohabbat karanevaale kam na honge

zamaane bhar ke Ghum yaa ik teraa Ghum
ye Ghum hogaa to kitane Ghum na honge

terii mahafil mein lekin ham na honge
mohabbat karanevaale kam na honge

agar tuu ittafaaqan mil bhii jaaye
terii furqat ke sadamein kam na honge

terii mahafil mein lekin ham na honge
mohabbat karanevaale kam na honge

dilon ki ulajhanein baDatii raheingii
agar kuchh mashvare baaham na honge

terii mahafil mein lekin ham na honge
mohabbat karanevaale kam na honge

'Hafeez' un se main jitanaa bad_gumaaN huuN
vo mujh se is qadar barham na honge

terii mahafil mein lekin ham na honge
mohabbat karanevaale kam na honge

This one was also done by Mehndi Hassan and quite a few other artiste and believe me, it was very popular:

GHAZAL:UZR AANE MEIN BHI HAI AUR BULAATE:

MEHNDI HASSAN:

POET: DAAG DEHLAVI:

UZR AANE MEIN BHI HAI AUR BULAATE BHI NAHIN

Uzr aane mein bhi hai aur bulaate bhi nahin
You hesitate to come [here] and do not call me, either
Baa'is-e-tark-e-mulaaqaat bataate bhi nahin
You don't inform me of the reasons for terminating relations, either!

Uzr aane mein bhi hai aur bulaate bhi nahin
You hesitate to come [here] and do not call me, either

Kya kaha phir toh kaho "Hum nahin sunte teri"
What did you say? Please repeat, "I do not listen to you."
Nahin suntey toh hum aiso ko bataatey bhi nahin
If you do not listen, I also do not speak to such people, either!

Uzr aane mein bhi hai aur bulaate bhi nahin
You hesitate to come [here] and do not call me, either

Khoob parda hai ke chilaman se lage baithe hain
There is much hidden when you are sitting alongside the curtain
Saaf chupte bhi nahi saamane aate bhi nahin
You do not clearly hide and do not come forward, either!

Uzr aane mein bhi hai aur bulaate bhi nahin
You hesitate to come [here] and do not call me, either

Ho chuka qata ta'lluq toh jafaayen kyon hon
If the relation has been severed, then why continue oppressions?
Jinko matalab nahin rahataa hai woh sataate bhi nahin
Those who [truly] no longer have a reason to, do not [further] tease, either!

Uzr aane mein bhi hai aur bulaate bhi nahin
You hesitate to come [here] and do not call me, either

Zist se tang ho ae Daag toh jeetey kyon hon
If you are sick of life, O Daag, then why do you live?
Jaan pyari bhi nahin jaan se jaate bhi nahin
Life is not valuable to you and you do not leave it, either!

Uzr aane mein bhi hai aur bulaate bhi nahin
You hesitate to come [here] and do not call me, either

Translation:??????

Daag's wit is so refreshing.. he makes sentimental points in the most brilliant of ways. The things he says in this poem, had they been said by someone else might sound depressing. His choice of wordings is so cutting... but one never gets bored or down while reading/listening. Truly a remarkable poet!

There are two more Ghazals that we have it input before saying goodbye to Mehndi Hassan: Since we are awaiting the translations from our translator; we will go ahead and input the lyrics and audio, and as soon as we receive those translations we will bring to the fore:

GHAZAL:GAZAB KIYAA TERE VAADE PE AITBAAR KIYA:

MEHNDI HASSAN:

POET: DAAG DEHLVI:

(24) GAZAB KIYAA TERE VAADE PE AITBAAR KIYA:

Gazab kiyaa, tere vaade pe aitabaar kiyaa
What a blunder it was to believe in your promises
Tamaam raat qayaamat kaa intezaar kiyaa
The entire night I waited for this disaster

Hansaa hansaa ke shab-e-vasl ashk-baar kiyaa
After all the laughter, you filled out night of union with tears
Tasalliyaan mujhe de-de ke beqaraar kiyaa
After falsely consoling and comforting me you made me restless

Ham aise mahv-e-nazaaraa na the jo hosh aataa
I was so immersed in your love, I was uncogniscent of any deceit
Magar tumhaare taGaaful ne hoshiyaar kiyaa
But it was your indifference that made me aware of your deceit

Fasaana-e-shab-e-Gam un ko ek kahaanii thhii
My tale of sadness of that night was but a story for you
Kuchh aitabaar kiyaa aur kuchh naa-aitabaar kiyaa
Like a fictional story, you believe in some and disbelieve in others

Ye kisane jalvaa hamaare sar-e-mazaar kiyaa
Who has graced the head of my tomb with their presence
Ki dil se shor uThaa, haa_e! beqaraar kiyaa
My heart has cried out with pain, even in my grave you have made me restless

Tarap phir ai dil-e-naadaan, ki Gair kahate hain
The world is asking me again, to feel the pain, oh my innocent heart
Aakhir kuchh na banii, sabr ikhtiyaar kiyaa
When nothing worked then I took the path of patience

Bhulaa bhulaa ke jataayaa hai unako raaz-e-nihaan
In trying to forget, I have finally exposed the secret buried deep in my heart
Chhipaa chhipaa ke mohabbat ko aashakaar kiyaa
After ages of hiding I have finally revealed my love for you

Tumhen to vaadaa-e-diidaar ham se karanaa thaa
I thought I was special when I made a promise to make an appearance
Ye kyaa kiyaa ke jahaan ko ummiidavaar kiyaa
What have you done? now the whole world expects to see me

Ye dil ko taab kahaa.N hai ke ho maalandesh
Did this heart has the strength to doubt you and think of the consequences
Unhone vaadaa kiyaa ham ne aitabaar kiyaa
You promised and I believed you

Na puuchh dil kii haqiiqat magar ye kahate hain
Don't ask the reality of this heart, but they say
Vo beqaraar rahe jisane beqaraar kiyaa
The one who made you restless, will ramain uneasy themselves

Kuchh aage daavar-e-mahashar se hai ummiid mujhe
The only expectation I have is from God
Kuchh aap ne mere kahane kaa aitabaar kiyaa
But you did believe a bit on me

(25) NAQSH E KHAYAAL DIL SE MIITAYAA NAHIIN HANOZ:

Naqsh-e-Khayaal dil se mitaayaa nahiin hanoz
The thought of you has not been removed from my heart as yet
Bedard main ne tujhako bhulaayaa nahiin hanoz
Ohh heartless beloved, I have not forgotten you as yet

Vo sar jo terii raahaguzar mein thaa sajdaa-rez
The head that was bowed in front of you in devotion
Main ne kisii qadam pe jhukaayaa nahiiin hanoz
I have not bowed this head in front of anyone as yet

Maharaab-e-jaan mein tuu ne jalaayaa thaa Khud jise
The lamp of love that you lit in the depth of my heart
Siine kaa vo chiraag bujhaayaa nahiin hanoz
That lamp, I have not extinguished as yet

Behosh hoke jald tujhe hosh aa gayaa
You are finally coming out of the unconsciousness of love
Main badanasiib hosh mein aayaa nahiiin hanoz
I, the unfortunate have not recovered from this malady as yet

Mar kar bhii aayegii ye sadaa qabr-e-"Josh" se
Even after my death, Josh will call out to you from his grave
Medard mainn ne tujhako bhulaayaa nahiin hanoz
Ohh heartless beloved I have not forgotten you as yet

DEDICATION:

GHAZAL:MUJHAY TUM NAZAR SAY:

MEHNDI HASSAN:

POET:MASROOR RANA:


His performances of Ghazals inscribes in listeners mind that sense of humanity that is exclusively of its own. Therefore, he holds a singular place in our hearts. The song below had evoked tears even from the strongest of Lovers:

(16) MUJHAY TUM NAZAR SAY::

Mujhe tum nazar say gira tou rahe ho
I know that I am falling, in your estimation
(My worth is going down in your eyes)
Mujhe tum kabhi bhi bhula na sakoge
You will never be able to forget me
Na jaanaye mujhe kyoun yaqeen ho chala hai
I dont know why I firmly believe that
Meray pyaar ko tum mitta na sakoge
You will not be able to anhilate my love (for you)

Mujhe tum nazar say
I know that my worth is falling

Meri yaad hogi jidhar jaoge tum
My memories will follow you whereever you go
Kabhi naghma bun kay kabhi bun kay aanso
Sometimes in forms of tears and sometime as songs
Tarapta mujhe har taruf paoge tum
Where ever you look you will find me pining for you
Shamma jo jalaee hai meri wafa naye
My devotion/love is like a lighted candle
Bhujana bhi chahoo bhuja na sakoge
Even if you wish to extinguish this candle you will not succeed

Mujhe tum nazar say
I know that my worth is falling

Kabhi naam baatoun main aya jo mera
When my name comes up in your chit-chat
Tou baychain ho ho kay dil thaam loge
You will become restless and try to calm your heart
Nighaoun main chayega ghum ka andhera
You will be blinded by Darkness of Sorrows
Kissi ne jo poocha sabub aansoun ka
When someone wants to enquire about the tears you are shedding
Batana bhi chaaho bata na sakoge
Even if you want to confide, you would not be able to

Mujhe tum nazar say gira tou rahe ho
I know that I am falling, in your estimation
My worth is going down in your eyes
Mujhe tum kabhi bhi bhula na sakoge
You will never be able to forget me

ME IN MIND: "THANK YOU MASROOR ANWAR"

LOVING WIFE WHO HAS PASSED AWAY ON AUGUST 23/07:

RIP: BIBI J:

Meri yaad hogi jidhar jaoge tum
My memories will follow you whereever you go
Kabhi naghma bun kay kabhi bun kay aanso
Sometimes in forms of tears and sometime as songs
Tarapta mujhe har taruf paoge tum
Where ever you look you will find me pining for you
Shamma jo jalaee hai meri wafa naye
My devotion/love is like a lighted candle
Bhujana bhi chahoo bhuja na sakoge
