Mehfile Shier-o-Adab محفل شعر و ادب (Poetry Sharing Point)

Oey Banda bun! Tell some 'mature' thoughts. I love poetry and my spontaneous poetry in Punjabi can never been published like famous Punjabi poet "IMAM-DEEN" who also belonged to Lahore. Ask 'wadaich' to share what we had already shared. Problem is your 007 type character. Why you are hiding behind an "IRON" curtain? I can not scan and post my valued collections otherwise, you must have taken an earliest possible direct flight to Lahore. Believe me, Bhatti & Lohari gates and the ancient culture is still the same. Nothing better than discussing "USTAD DAMIN" who recited his famous poem "Ke Karee Jaanda.n - Ke Karee Jaanda.n" at "Oriential College" Students Union, swearing ceremony in "Saint-Hall" Punjab University Lahore when Ghulam Mustafa Khar was Governor Punjab and Chancellor of Punjab University in 1972-73.

I wrote this while indulging in a captivating matter
One that makes you think so much your life begins to shatter
While indulging in the midst of the 'pomp' & the 'glitter'
Imagine tasting life’s only certainty..

For The Almighty says 'Every soul shall have the taste of death'
Only He knows the origin of my last breath
From my flashing moments of tears and laughs, just one second..
For my whole world to become blackened.

From my first heartbeat right to my last
And everything in between - the present; the past
My joys & my sufferings, it was all pre-planned
Everything 'till the day I leave this temporary land

But until then I've been given a choice
Whether in this life, I'll repent or rejoice
To act upon Al-Haqq, it's down to me
But the Final Verdict is only from He.

And I once heard a believer lives life as a stranger
With a one-way ticket, just like a passenger
So I have to choose the path that none can intercede
And my faiths gotta’ be so solid, not even Satan can mislead.

If only my Imaan could just be that strong
To alternate away from the ways of the wrong
With the Mercy of Allah, I'd surely cross that path
Yes the final obstacle; the one & only Seerat

But first I've got to stand my ground & ignore all those desires
And know that Satan’s whispers will only feed the Fires
But yet the sins I commit & the mistakes I make
I pray, 'Ya Ilaahi, I beg you to forsake!'

So now as I finish, am I still breathing?
'Cos there will come a time when my heart stops beating.
Until then, the clock is still ticking, up 'till my death hour will chime..

With no turning back,
My last breath escapes,
& that's when I know; It's my time.

Kaleeji chor kar chanpoon ki aarzoo karte
churri thi hath mien kia khud ko surkhuru karte

woh aik purana banyan sath dey na sakaa
hazar hole thaey kis kis jagah rafu kartey

woh nazneen jo samjhti hai sirf angrezi
zuban e ghair se kia sharh e aarzu kartey

humari handi mien pakta tou tere murgh se hum
tere hee piyar ke lehje mien guftugoo karte

jo baat baat pe deta ho qatal ki dahmki
tumhare abu se kia khul key guftagu kartey

bas aik shart pe tum sey hai dosti pakki
paseena behta mera paish tuum lahoo kartey

jab aik hee ney hamien khak kar dia Aasi
tou aik aor ki hum khak aarzu karte

Abhi Kuch Dair Baqee Hai ..... Abhi Soty Raho Bhai.....!!!!!

Think about it Folks ..... Where we stand now ........!!!!!

 

[Muhammad Tauseef A. Bajwa]

Life always has its challenges,

Sometimes the world appears
To be spinning out of control.
Sometimes there seems to be no end
To the distressing news.

Sometimes it feels like troubles
Are being piled on top of troubles.
Sometimes it can look as if there
Could never be a way forward.

And yet, that way forward is always
As close as your next thought.
For no matter how difficult and discouraging
Life may have become, with each dawning moment,
A new world of positive possibilities opens up
to you.

From the darkest depths of despair,
Hope does indeed grow and take flight.
Out of difficult situations, new strategies emerge
For creating real value and spreading life's goodness.

Remember that the future does not have to be
An extension of the past.
For you can act right now to create
That future out of the abundance of positive possibilities.

Life always has its challenges,
And those challenges are what enable you
To bring real value to life.
Whatever the circumstance,
Step boldly forward and
Choose to move the world positively ahead.

Pathar ka wo sheher bhi kia tha,
sheher k neechay sheher basa tha,

pairr bhi pathar phool bhi pathar
patta patta pathar ka tha

chand bhi pathar jheel bhi pathar,
pani bhi pathar lagta tha

log bhi saray pathar k thay
rang un ka pathar jesa tha

pathar ka aik saanp sunehra
kaalay pathar se lipta tha

pathar ki andhi galiyon mein
mein tujhe sath liye phirta tha

goongi waadi goonj uthti thi
jab koi pathar girta tha

Alif Allah chambay di booti
Mere man vich murshad laai… hoo…
Nafi asbat da pani milya
Har ragay har jaai… hoo…
Andar booti mushak machaya
Jaan phulaan te aai… hoo…
Jeevay murshad kamil bahu
Jain ae booti laai… hoo…

الف اللہ چمبے دی بوٹی

ميرے من وچ مرشد لائی ہو

نفی اثبات دا پانی مليا
ہر رگے ہر جائی ہو

اندر بوٹی مشک مچايا
جاں پھلاں تے آئی ہو

جيوے مرشد کامل باھو
جيں اے بوٹی لائی ہو​

Eh tan meraa chashmaan hove,
Murshid wekh na rajjaan hoo.

Loon loon de mudh lakh lakh chashmaan,
Ik kholaan ik kajjaan hoo.

Itniaan dithiaan sabar naa aave,
Hor kite val bhajjaan hoo.

Murshid daa deedaar hai Baahoo,
Lakh karorhaan hajjaan hoo.

-

Translation:

Were my whole body festooned with eyes,
I would gaze at my Master with untiring zeal.

O, how I wish that every pore of my body Would turn into a million eyes –
Then, as some closed to blink, others would open to see!

But even then my thirst to see him,
Might remain unquesnched. What else am I to do?

To me, O Bahu, a glimpse of my Master,
Is worth millions of pilgrimages to the holy Ka’ba!

Re: Dasht-e-Ghurbat Mein Qaza... A Heart Touching...

Well this is what Allah wants us to unite and fight against. Ignorance, Oppression, suppression, cruelty, poverty and disease. However, we are busy trying to create more divisions instead. What a shame!
