aablaapaa ko’ii is dasht meN aayaa hogaa
varnaa aaNdhii meN diyaa kis ne jalaayaa hogaa
(aablaapaa : blisters in foot, frenzied; dasht : ruins)
zarre zarre pe jaRe hoNge kuNvaare sajde
ek ek but ko Khudaa us ne banaayaa hogaa
(zarre : dust particles; sajde : prostations)
pyaas jalte hu’e kaaNToN kii bujhaa’ii hogii
riste paanii ko hathelii pe sajaayaa hogaa
(kaaNTe : thorns; hathelii : palm)
mil gayaa hogaa agar ko’ii suneharii patthar
apnaa TuuTaa hu’aa dil yaad to aayaa hogaa
(suneharii : golden)

Mohib,
Bahut khoob….beautiful.
Could you explain the meaning of the following lines?
”zarre zarre pe jaRe hoNge kuNvaare sajde
ek ek but ko Khudaa us ne banaayaa hogaa ”
What do the words KuNvaare sajde allude to?
Thanks. Sorry, I am a little dumb.
Oh meenaa tum….
ek adaakaaraa,
ek fanqaaraa,
husn kaa sitaraa thee,
yaa ajoobaa koee
yaa ek nakkaahi si
khoobsurat tasweer thi koee
naa janaey ilmoN ke kitney
naginey they tum-mey,
kitney ahsaas,
kitney andaz ,
kitney alfaaz,
chhipey they tum mey.
yooN hee nahiN inko,
lafzon kaa jaamaa
pehnaayaa hogaa.
jab jab zamaaney ki
sard hawaaon ney tumhey
sirhraayaa hogaa,
shaayad wahi andaaz
kabhi ghazal ,kabhi sher,
to kabhi adaa ban kar
pardey per ootar ayaa hoga.
tum naa sahi ,
tumhaari yaad hi sahi
tum naa sahi,
tumhaaraa khyaal hi sahi
tum naa sahi ,
tumharey jazbaat hi sahi,
inhoney kitno ko,
kyaa kyaa yaad dilaayaa hoga.
MEENAA KUMARI, we miss you a lot.

it is good site especially i like renu’s poetry
i didn’y like this ghazal very much at all but i just love listening to Meena Kumari’s voice. There is so much pain and emotion in her voice.
[...] I first read Renu Ahuja when she posted an eulogy to Meena Kumari at one of her poems. She is one of the few (but gradually increasing) Indian bloggers who write in vernacular languages, in this case Hindi in Devanagari script. Her poems are simple and touching. [...]
Rajneesh ji aapkaa shukriyaa,
hamarey lafzon ko pasand kiyaa,
Meenaa ji, thee hi wo jaltaa diyaa,
oonki shaksiyat yaad rahegi sadaa…!!!

Mujhe manzilo ki fikr nahin,
mujhe raston se pyar hai,
Jo mere sath sath chal sake,

I like Meena kumaris. gazals.
mind blowing
Great to have some nice urdu poetry in English, so can b read by people like us who can’t read the language but adore the language .
Meena Kumari was a great actress and her poems too are soultouching just like her acting.They reflect the pain and suffering as perfectly as she used to portray on celluloid.
Would love to read more poems and verses by great urdu poets as well.
Meena Kumari was a very good actress…she had her own style statement…..she worked in so many movies and each one was one of its own kind….may God rest her in peace ……
She had a very natural beauty. Her acting suited in every kind of role whether it is Pakeeza or Dil apna or Preet Paraya. As saying goes on: “Good people never live longer”.
well.
Jo tum chale saath to raste bhi surkhroo ho gai,
Manzilein hum ko pukarti thi, magar haum khud hi bhatak gai,
Iqbal khan Iqbal, Rampuri,
Aa jao mil ke saath chale, Na manzilo ki fikr ho na raston ki,
Hum safar ka bus khayal rahe, Na dilon ki fikr ho na jaano ki,
Ye barishein,Yeh ghataein,Yeh Phool, Yeh Chaman,
Tere shabab-e-hazir ki sab parcha-e-yan hi to hain,
Na jao is tarah mooh morh ke hum se, Kuch to is dil ka khayal karo,
Chale jana zara thehro, Bus thora sa to qayamat ka intezar karo,
Wahi nazar , Wahi Ada , Wahi sitam ka tareeqa,
Aap mano to mano, Hum to na manege zaman badal gaya,
Wahi wafa hai, Wahi jafa hai,Aur Wahi zulfo ke pesho kham,
Aap mano to mano, Hum to na manege zaman badal gaya
Meena Kumari ne kiya is dil ko shaad, Apne shayri se,
Hum bhi usko na bhulayenge , Apni is fani zindgi se,
meena kumari was always best actor in this world as well as singer
she is a god gifted girl and god gifted voice,acting all things
i saw her all best movies like baiju bawara ,pyarr ka sagar,dil apna preet parai, and i like pakzeeha of meena kumari so much
i always remember her in my life because i think she is every thing for me my friend, my girl friend, every thing .i like all the gazal of meena kumari all the movies of meene kumari
meena kumari ji i love you so much……….
i love you so much
