Random Ramblings,Yet Again....

-

 I started writing this post in the night. For some, what I say or do is just a play/drama/tantrum. But I am sure, some must be wondering too that why just so many posts? Don't I have any real work to do? Well, yeah, I don't have. And I have nothing else to do right now, I can't go out thanks to this pandemic and I couldn't sleep(it was 2AM) either so what is it that I can do except sitting and writing? I used to do a lot of writing. But after 2011, a lot of change did come in me. May be will mention some of it some other time but yeah, it did happen for sure. That's the reason I stopped or I did write here and there but it didn't continue. I am trying now that I stay put. 

So I am having a cup of coffee right now and finally thought to finish this post, with a hot pad on the foot. It seems that I have twisted it while cleaning the verandah. It was raining and I wanted to wipe it when the rain stopped. Left hand was already messed up and now foot has joined too. Bloody brilliant. Let's see now what the doc say about it. And even though I hate it, I believe it's required. 

I was reading a beautiful poem from Lal Singh Dil. Here it is in Punjabi first, 

ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕਿਸੇ ਗ਼ੈਰ ਵਿਦਰੋਹੀ
ਨਜ਼ਮ ਦੀ ਤਲਾਸ਼ ਹੈ
ਤਾਂ ਕਿ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕੋਈ ਦੋਸਤ
ਮਿਲ ਸਕੇ
ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਸੋਚ ਦੇ ਨਹੁੰ
ਕੱਟਣੇ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ
ਤਾਂ ਕਿ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕੋਈ
ਦੋਸਤ ਮਿਲ ਸਕੇ
ਮੈਂ ਤੇ ਉਹ
ਸਦਾ ਲਈ ਘੁਲ ਮਿਲ ਜਾਈਏ.
ਪਰ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਸ਼ਾ
ਗ਼ੈਰ ਵਿਦਰੋਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਦਾ
ਤਾਂ ਕਿ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕੋਈ
ਦੋਸਤ ਮਿਲ ਸਕੇ

Here is it written in English,

Mainu kise gair-vidrohi nazam di talash hai,

Tan ki mainu koi dost mil sake!

Main apni soch de nonh kattane chahunda haan,

Tan ki mainu koi dost mil sake!

Main te oh sada ghul mil jaiye, 

Par koi visha gair vidrohi nai milda,

Tan ki mainu koi dost mil sake!


And it's translation in English,

I am searching for a non-rebellious poem,

So that I can have a friend!

I want to cut the nails of my thoughts,

So that I can have a friend!

He and I would get gelled together,

But I can't find any such  subject non-rebellious,

So that I can have a friend!

Let's  make another cup of coffee, shall we?

A Poetic MasterPiece By Faraz.....

-
I am a big fan of good poetry. I am not a poet myself  but where ever I do find anything good written, I try to collect and share it. Surely enough, my first preference would always be Punjabi poetry. But there is no such thing that I wont read from any where else. Whatever is good, I try to make sure that I don't miss it! There are some poets which have created history with their writings. Late Ahmed Faraz is among those handful which wrote timeless pieces from his pen. Saying anything about him would like showing torch to the sun. So without wasting any more time, I would like to share a poetic masterpiece from him which I read today only and instantly fell in love with it. This is in Hindi and I shall translate it English in a while. Please note, this does has lots of words from Urdu as well.I shall put the meanings of those words in the end of both Hindi and English versions. First, in Hindi, Dost ban kar bhi nahin saath nibhane wala, Wohi andaaz hai jaalim ka jamane...

Feelings Revealed Truly & Musically....

In music, out of the most pure forms of it, one is Qawalli . This is that form of music which is sung by the people who are not mere singers but devotees of God. This form of music was not a part of commercial music industry some time ago but due to its magic, its now very common to hear this in almost every where. Despite its used now in the commercial music industry, still the original form of it with minimum music instruments and claps of the singers while singing is the most popular one and remains untouchable. There are many singers who sing this form of music but some have made it a household name due to their singing. Late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan   is among those very few who singers who are known as the masters of this devine music form. Out of millions of Qawalli songs available, there are some which hit straight in the heart. There is one that I am listening from some time and thought to share with you all. This one was specially recommended to me by my friend Sumit who hi...

Shiv Kumar Batalvi, A Legend....

-
There are so many writers in this world and there is just an ocean of literature. But despite the fact that all the writers are good and the entire literature of the world is nice, I still love Punjabi literature and its writers the most. You may call it whatever you want but this is what I really love and it has reasons. And out of all, the foremost reason is that no culture is as rich in its wealth as Punjabi culture and I have yet to read some thing which is as romantic or as painful or as joyful as Punjabi writer's writing are. There is no disrespect to anyone else or any other language but this is what my choice is! There are a lot of writers but few only have power to become immortals with their work. Only some chosen ones have a power to write fire with their words. Out of those few, Shiv Kumar Batalvi  stands apart. It wont ever happen that anyone would be able to touch even the heights where he is with his writing. Its a pity that Shiv had to leave this world so early b...
