Itna sa yad rakhna

Itna sa yaad rakh mujhe,

Jaisey kisi kitaab mein,

Beety dino k dost ka,

Ek khat para huwa milay.

Lafz mitey mitey sey houn,

Rang ura ura sa ho,

Lekin woh ajnabi na ho,

Bhooley huway tamaam dukh,

Guzray huway tamaam sukh,

Beety dino ka sab kuch,

Tujh sey kahey aur ro pary,

Bas itna sa yaad rakh mujhe,

K jab kabhi baat-be-baat

yaad humari aa jaye

tou thora sa muskura lena,

aur dil ko yeh samjha lena,

nadaan sa tha per acha tha.

Have you ever wondered if you have occasionally crossed the mind of someone special from your past who is not longer in your present...if there was something that brought you to their mind...in the warmest of ways?

It's a lovely poem. I wish I had a good grasp of Urdu poetry but my vocabulary alone is so limited. Thanks for sharing, OP.

Exactly this was the reason I posted this poem. I wonder what made you interpret it the way you did?

Good one Seedha Saada Ji!

reminds me of a Punjabi Poem:

**yaadan vichray sajjan diyan aaiyaan

aakhian cho meenh vasda**

:teary3:

Beautifully sweet and melancholic. Bas ik botal ki kami hai

*Gaye dino ki baat haii
bhalii sii ik shakal thii,
bhalii sii us ki dostii...

ab us kii yaad raat din,
nahi, mgR kabhii kabhii... *

:)

Awesome poem SS, Thanks for sharing :)

na aashiqi junoon ki ke zindagi azaab ho,
na is qadar kathor?pan ke dosti kharab ho,

so ek roz kya huwa, wafa pe behes chidd gayi,
mai ishq ko amar kahun, wo meri zidd se chidd gayi,

wo ishq ka aseer tha, wo ishq ko kafas kahe,
ke tamam umar k saath ko, bad?tar azhawis kahe,

This is also a wonderful poem HH. It inspired sighs and invoked a kind of melancholy one would rather like to have :wink:
