AB SE...
NOW ON...

Main ab se koi ghazal nahi padhoongi

Nahi uljhoongee main in fazool lafzon main

Nahi bhatkoongi siiyaahee ke anddheron mein

 

Ghazalon mein kya rakha hai ranjh aur gham ke siva?

Nakaamyaab muhobatoon ke qissay

Taraptay dilon kee thandee ahein

 

Kyon padoon main in lafzon ke jhamele mein?

Kyon inko seene se lagakar ro-oon akele mein?

Kyon giraftaar ho jaoon kitaabon ke pannon mein?

 

Kyon na khol doon main mann ke darwaaze

Kyon na mehsoos karoon thandee sehlaatee hawaon ko?

Phir se kyon na hansoon khul ke…khil khila ke

 

Wohh din bhi kya din thai…. jab main ghazlein nahi pardtee thee

Nahi…main ab se koi ghazal nahi padhoongee

Zindagee sirf gham nahi hai…Kkhushee bhi hai…Kkhushee

No I won’t read any more ghazals

I won't be trapped in this maze of words

I wont be lost in the whirlpools of ink

 

What do ghazals offer except sorrow and pain?

Stories of doomed love

Sighs from tortured hearts

 

Why should I get caught up in this game of words?

Why should I hold them close and cry in my loneliness?

Why should I be imprisoned by letters in a book?

 

Why don’t I open the doors of my mind?

Why don’t I let in the cool calming breeze?

Why don’t I laugh again…happily …unselfconsciously?

 

Oh for those days when I didn’t read ghazals

No…I wont read ghazals anymore

Life isn’t just sorrow…it is also joy…happiness

 

~Kkhushee~
