We are extremely grateful to Mirza Jamal saahab for providing us with this rare and awesome video of Begum Akhtar reciting the Ghazal.
aaye kuchh abr kuch sharaab aaye
us ke baad aaye jo azaab aaye
(abr : a cloud; azaab : punishment,difficulty)
baam-e-miinaa se maahtaab utre
dast-e-saaqii meN aaftaab aaye
(baam-e-miinaa : heaven’s terrace; maahtaab : moonlight; dast-e-saaqii : hands of the cup bearer; aaftaab : sun-shine)
har rag-e-KhuuN meN phir charaaGhaaN ho
saamne phir wo be-naqaab aaye
(rag-e-KhuuN : arteries and veins; charaaGhaaN : lighting; be-naqaab : unveiled)
kar rahaa thaa Gham-e-jahaaN kaa hisaab
aaj tum yaad be-hisaab aaye
(Gham-e-jahaaN : mundane sufferings; hisaab : calculations; be-hisaab : incalculable)
na ga’ii tere Gham kii sardaarii
dil meN yuuN roz inqilaab aaye
(sardaarii : tyranny; inqilaab : revolution)
is tarah apnii Khamoshii guuNjii
goyaa har simt se javaab aaye
(Khamoshii : silence; guuNjii : reverberate; goyaa : as if; simt : direction; javaab : answers)
“Faiz” thii raah sar-ba-sar manzil
ham jahaaN pahuNche kaamyaab aaye

Faiz Sahab ka ek aur `Shahkar`bandish, Mehdi Hassan ki awaz ka kamal.Faiz Sahab ki fitrat hi ruumani hai–`us shokh ke ahista se khulte hue oth;hai us jism ke kambakht dilavez khtuut—-`
I can describe his compositions as `Lilting Lyrics`
Dear Doctor Sahib …!
I would rather say that Faiz Sahib is using metaphores here as I personally think that Faiz sahib was a true revolutionary . I like to quote one of his master pieces “Mujh say pehli si mohabat meray mehboob na maang” which clearly depicts that Faiz Sahib uses these metaphores to describe the Class Differences.
what a beautiful way of letting some one know that some one is really missing you today the most…..
kar raha tha ghame jahaan ka hisaab
aaj tum yad be hisaab aaye………
Reply to Dr Srivastav Sahab: I agree with Mohsin. Read the rest of “Aaj tak .. Inhi surkho-siyah sadiyon ke saaye ke tale, aadam-o-Hauvva ki aulad pe kya guzri hai… Maut aur zeest ki rozana saf-aaraai … : for the revolutionary message which has been beautified with elegant Urdu idiom, to help propagate Faiz’s message. Another one “Do Ishq” “Chaha hai isi rang mein Laila-e-vatan ko….”
The site is very informative. How can I download some the famous gazals of Mehdi Hassen from your web site

Yoon bhi ker daikha hai k
Jab rahoon main dais perdais ki bai meher guzergahoon main
Kaaflai kamoto ruhsaro lubo gaiso k….
faiz sahib experienced and expressed all the shades of human feelings in its entirety. Now when I am thousands of miles from my country..this poem seems to be a part of my whole emotional being.
What a beautiful description of imaginations
iss video meN, Begum Akhtar saahibaa ik aur bhi she`r sunaa rahii thii, jo maiN ne pehli baar sunaa!
She`r hai,
“jal uThay bazm-e-Ghair ke dar-o-baam

Bam-e-miinaa, i believe means “the edge of the wine glass”, not heaven’s terrace.
this is like most
is tarah apnii Khamoshii guuNjii
goyaa har simt se javaab aaye
wah saray sher is sher ki waja say hain
Bas itna kehna chahuga
“subhan allah”
