Adaab! Here is a beautiful nazm of Sahir’s which I found on the WWW. I am quoting the whole article…
wah :)Sahir bahut acchay shaayar thay–abhi abhi hi unke kalaam ka mazzah lenay ka mawqah mila hai 
WAH, kya baat hy, thory sy lafzoN meiN Sahir sahab ny kisi ki poori zindagi ko bayan kar diya hy, yaa phir agar tanhaai ki aek raat ka hi tazkira kiya gaya hy to wo aek raat bhi to poori zindagi aesi taweel rahi ho gi na. GREAT!!!
Hai Hai Mar na jain to kia karain.......yaar yeh shair log humaray dil ki baat kaisay kar laytay hain..... :) :)
Asif,
Thanks for posting this nazm by Sahir - I hadn't come accross this one before. :)
I don't think there is any shair whose nazms even come close to Sahir's.
Aaslam-o-alaikum
Nazm khob he ....lekin Sahir ki jo sab sy khobsorat nazm mujee lagti he woh yeh he ....
Gar chaho keh aada kar sako tum qimat-e-dil
To tasawur ky garaaNqadar aainooN mein basi
Ik khamoosh si beloos ibarat parh loo
Jis ka mafhoom agar samjhoo to behad sada he
Har tahayyul ki bulandi par he mehwe parwaaz
Dil ki qeemat nah kabhi saim-o-jawahir mein mili
Nah hi yeh bandish-e-khalat-e-zamanah mein mili
Kiss ny dekha he kissi phool ki khushboo ko kabhi
koon chhoo sakta he parbat ki sadaooN ko kabhi
Kiya kissi aankh sy ly sakty ho tum aansoo ko kabhi
Kiya chura sakty ho tarooN sy us ki kirnooN ko kabhi
Phir bhi chahoo keh adaa kar sakoo tum qeemat-e-dil
Pyar ki aanch mein jal gaye lamhe la do
Tumhari yaad mein chhalkty hain jo aansoo la do
[Sahir Ludyanvi]
Rameesha,
Great nazm :)
My personal favorite is Maazi/Faraar (i've seen two different titles for it.
ApNe maazi ke tasavvur se hiraasaa hu mein
Apne guzare huye ayyaam se nafarat hai mujhe
ApNe bekaar tamannaOn pe sharmida hu mein
ApNe besud ummeedOn pe nidaamat hai mujhe
Mere maazii ko andheRai me dabah rehne do
Mera maazii mere zillat ke sivah kuchh bhi nahin
Meri ummeedOn ka haasil meri kaavish kaa silah
Ek benaam azeeYat ke sivaa kuchh bhi nahin
Kith ni bekaar ummiidOn ka sahara lekar
Mein ne aiwaan sajaiye they kisi ki khaatir
Kith ne beraBt tamannaOn ke maabham Khaake
ApNe KhwaabOn mein basaaiye the kissi ki khaatir
Mujh se ab meri mohabbat ke fasaaNe na puchho
Mujh ko kehNe do ke mein ne unHai chaahaa hi nahin
Aur vo mast nigahAin jo mujhe bhuul gaihIn
Mein ne un mast nigahOn ko saraahaa hi nahin
Mujh ko kehne do ki mein aaj bhii ji suk tha hu
Ishq naakaam sahin zindagi naakaam nahin
Unko apnAh ne ki khVaahish unHai paaNe ki talab
Shauq bekaar sahii sai-Gam anjaam nahin
Vahi gesuu vahi nazar vahi aarid vahi jism
Mein jo chaahUn ki mujhe aur bhii mil suk thi hain
Vo kaNval jin ko kabhi ooNi ke liye khil na tha
Un ki nazarOn se bahut door bhi khil suk the hain
-Sahir Ludhianvi
this is really fantastic being able to read this great poetry, but dudes, we should stick to urdu script lot easier on the eyes
Nice postings ! Rameesha woh nazm bhi khoobsurat thi :)KhurramS--Sahir bahut acchay hain lekin i dont agree ke he is the BEST nazm writer! Akhir allamah sahib jo hain...aur Faiz...haan unki 'Kabhi Kabhi' (not the filmi version) bahut hi azeem hai :)
