-- "Aadmi say dartaY ho?" - Noon Meem Rashid -- AQ's Voice

Few days back, a blog entry brought many memories back after listening to Noon Meem Rashid’s famous poem in the voice of Zia Mohiuddin.

So, couple of days back I recorded it in my voice too… then, ended up making a video out of it. This is my first attmept to create a video file although it only has one static image :smiley:

Last bit is actually taken from the original file :stuck_out_tongue:

Zindagi say dartay ho?

Zindagi to tum bhi ho,
zindagi to hum bhi hain
Zindagi say dartay ho…

Aadmi say dartay ho?

Aadmi to tum bhi ho,
Aadmi to hum bhi hain
Aadmi zabaaN bhi hay,
Aadmi bayaaN bhi hay,
us say tum nahi dartay…

Harf aur ma’ani kay rishta-haaye-aahan say Aadmi hai waabasta
Aadmi kay daaman say zindagi hai waabasta,
uss say tum nahi dartay…

Unkahi say dartay ho?

Jo abhi nahi aayi us ghaRi say dartay ho?
uss ghaRi ki aamad ki agahi say dartay ho?
Pahlay bhi to guzray haiN
daur naarasaai kay,
bay riya khudayi kay
Phir bhee ye samajhtay ho
Haich !!
arzumandi
ya shab-e-zabaaN bandi
hay raahay khuda wandi

Tum magar ye kiya jaano…
La’b agar nahi hiltay,
Haath jaag uThtay haiN

Haath jaag uthtay haiN
rah ka nishaaN bankar
Noor ki zabaaN bankar
Haath bol uThtay haiN
subh ki azaaN bankar

Roshni say dartay ho?

Roshni tau tum bhee ho,
Roshni tau hum bhi hain
Roshni say dartay ho…?

Shahar ki faseeloN par
daiw ka jo saaya thaa,
paak hogaya aakhir
Raat ka libaadah bhi
chaak hogayaa aakhir
Khaak hogayaa aakhir…

Azhdahaam-e-insaaN say fard ki nawa ayi
zaat ki sadaa ayi
Rah-e-shauq maiN jaisay
rah ro ka khooN lapkay
ik nayaa junooN lapkay
Aadmi chhalak uThay
Aadmi hassay dekho,
shehr phir basay dekho

Tum abhi say dartay ho?
HaaN abhi to tum bhee ho,
HaaN abhi to hum bhee haiN

Tum!!! abhi say dartay ho…

***GREAT ! and strangely I always visualised your voice as it exactly turned out. ***


The variations and tempo of the voice were okay…but may need some fine tunning going forward…an consiering that you are not exactly from show_biz where before final takes of such eliveries and recitals are backed by huge rehearsals under the directions of huge Directors etc., I thought you have done not only well but far better.


You do have a melodious voice…a serene type and you must capitalize of such renderations going forward.


BTW…I am one of the audience of Zia Moheyuddin’s original recital of Noon Meem Rashid’s classic…at Zehra Nigah and her husband Majid Ali’s Knightsbridge London apartment way back in 1979..during my visit there with my Dad. Rekha from India was there too besies Aparna Sen and Pinchoo Kapoor.


Keep it up…Anwaar!

Great Mash'Allah lol hehe

Re: -- "Aadmi say dartaY ho?" - Noon Meem Rashid -- AQ's Voice

Excellent! Loved the poem and the way you recited it.
Thanks for putting the words as well.

What's "Haich"? Is it like saying "afsoos"?

Re: – “Aadmi say dartaY ho?” - Noon Meem Rashid – AQ’s Voice

I have more to share… hopefully I will get time soon. :slight_smile:

Raju Uncle: your words meant a lot and source of encouragement. Thank you for such valuable advices. I will try my best to improve my word-delivery style… Let’s see if I succeed in my next attempt :slight_smile:

thankooo chochi

thanks kino…

Haich actually means something that is very low in quantity, quality, attributes etc.

Re: -- "Aadmi say dartaY ho?" - Noon Meem Rashid -- AQ's Voice
