Uns Ke Kuchh Lafz.

I keep scribbling couplets in Urdu. I have been toying with the idea of publishing it for others to read and give me pointers, and after gathering up my courage here I am with four of the most recent ones. Hope you like it, your inputs are most welcome.

Jinnke dareechon se rehna tha door,

Unhike khwabgaah mein hum tashreef le gaye.

*****

Abr mein dhoonda karte the jinhe
Woh aaj haal-e-dil suna gaye.


*****
Samah sufiyana hogaya unke aane se
Warna toh hum khiza mein jiya karte the.

*****
Jo shaamein sirf kaaghaz pe likha karte the
Abb aap pe kharch karne lage hain.

    2. Wow! Thanks Namrota...
      Everything makes much more sense now and I can safely tell you that they all are very beautiful lines.
      The first one is highly commendable, I'd say.

    1. Thank you Thank you Jack... Ghaalib toh definitely not... ekhono sheekchhi...and as per my Urdu... I am still learning; courtesy: old hindi film songs and dialogues and my Muslim friends, one of them is a poet himself. So, there you go, my secret is out :o :P :D

  6. i really liked the last one..its very romantic and effectively conveys how the entry of one speacial person makes the life so beautiful and full of life.
    great effort Namrota. I personally love urdu language a lot. Urdu words are very beautiful with high poetic richness. and while I say this...i am reminded of the song "Yaar mera khusboo ki tarah, jiski zuban Urdu ki tarah” from the song “Chhaiya Chhaiya”. Its a beautiful language to express love and romance.

    All the best Namrota with your efforts. Looking forward to more shayaris from you in future.

    1. I am so glad you liked it, Jigyasa.., I love Urdu Language as well...and I couldn't have expressed it better than how you did.."Urdu words are very beautiful with high poetic richness."

      I am still learning .. both the Lingo and to weave them in poetry. so, thank you very much for the encouragement, I will share more shayaries, as and when I compose them. :)

    2. Being from Lucknow..i just know few beautiful Urdu words..that comes naturally to people who belong there. but yes m glad you are wanting to learn urdu words...believe me..once you begin using even some of those beautiful words in your daily dialect..people simply go awestruck..thats the power and magic of Urdu.

  13. I am not a romantic and I suck at writing romance too but, I fell in love with this lines:
    "Samah sufiyana hogaya unke aane se
    Warna toh hum khiza mein jiya karte the."
    I just texted that to my hubby. It is my life story in two lines :D :D
    You have a very nice grip of Urdu words, not overdoing it and keeping its purity and feelings balanced too.
