Poetry you love to listen

Share poetry (Ghazal, Nazm, Geet) which you always like to listen.

Why do you like that poetry? Is it the poetry itself, the way it is sung, music, etc.

Also share your most favorite shair / line of that poetry.

I like to listen this ghazal:

I can relate to the poetry and its beautifully composed and sung.

My favorite line:

Chalo zamane ki khatir ye jabr bhi seh len
ke ab kabhi jo milen toot kar nahin milna

Re: Poetry you love to listen

I prefer nazm...in voice without music.At times the backgroudn music in ghazals / songs / nazms annoys me cuz it hurts my ear :(

Re: Poetry you love to listen

It is probably the finest ghazal written by Ahmed Faraz, such depth in each shair. Tke poet has expressed the feelings of someone who is pinning for his/her loved one to return and presents so many reason/excuses for him/her to return.

To add beauty to this wonderful ghazal the best ghazal singer ever, Mehdi Hassan, made it everlasting by the beautiful way he sang it.

My favourite shairs in this ghazal are:

kis kis ko batayenge judayee kaa sabab ham
tu mujhase kafa hai toh jamane ke liye aa

*abb tak dile khush faham ko tujh se hain ummiden
yeh aakharee shamme bhee bhujane ke liye aa ------ This one is magic.
*

jaise tujhe aate hain naa aane ke bahane
aise hee kisee roj naa jane ke liye aa
