Kismet main likhi thi aapse Mulaqaat is tarah. Badi Khushi hui aapse milke Snehaji.

Vaise likhne ka shauq hum bhi rakhte hain, Jab kabhi mood hota hai to 2-4 lines hum bhi likh dete hain. Now coming back to your second post. I love this song. Sahir Ludhyanvi is one of my favorite poet, the people's poet. And Rafi Sahib ke awaaz ne kamaal kar diya tha is song main...

Sahir Sahib come to my mind when I heard that our Sahir is also a shayar. Also the story of Sahir's parents might be similar to Ludhyanvi Sahib's parents story.

Another favorite is,

mai pal do pal ka shayar hu pal do pal meri kahani hai
pal do pal meri hasti hai pal do pal meri jawani hai
mai pal do pal ka shayar hu pal do pal meri kahani hai
pal do pal meri hasti hai pal do pal meri jawani hai
mai pal do pal ka shayar hu
mujhse pahale kitne shayar aaye aur aakar chale gaye
kuch aahe bhar kar lot gaye kuch nagame gakar chale gaye
wo bhi ek pal ka kisa the mai bhi ek pal ka kisa hu
kal tumse juda ho jaunga wo aaj tumhara hisa hu
mai pal do pal ka shayar hu pal do pal meri kahani hai
pal do pal meri hasti hai pal do pal meri jawani hai
mai pal do pal ka shayar hu
kal aur aayege nagamo ki khilati kaliya chunne wale
mujhse behatar kahne wale tumse behatar sunne wale
kal koi mujhko yaad kare kyu koi mujhko yaad kare
masaruf zamana mere liye kyu waqt apna barabad kare
mai pal do pal ka shayar hu pal do pal meri kahani hai
pal do pal meri hasti hai pal do pal meri jawani hai
mai pal do pal ka shayar hu pal do pal meri kahani hai
pal do pal meri hasti hai pal do pal meri jawani hai

Khushnaseebi humari ke hum aapse mile

Aise hi hotein hai shuru dosti ke silsile

About the similarities in both Sahirs... the tragedy and all... I feel it has the same depth.

And Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon... thats my fav song of sahir ji..

Though I love the whole song... my fav lines are:

"kal aur aayege nagamo ki khilati kaliya chunne wale
mujhse behatar kahne wale tumse behatar sunne wale
kal koi mujhko yaad kare kyu koi mujhko yaad kare
masaruf zamana mere liye kyu waqt apna barabad kare "

Kind of rips the heart with sadness that one day we all dissolve into oblivion... no matter what.

Foreword:

I have been in mellow mood for the past few days and the same holds true as I write this...You may find the thoughts here to be broken or without sync...Sorry for the same.

A Blink Of The Eye

avi credit :-Faiza-

A blink of an eye... a semi-autonomous action of the eyelids... is that all that can be said about the rapid eye action.

For me it goes beyond... as I have always been fascinated by eyes... for they are the very windows to our souls and a blink of the eyes goes far beyond its biological definition.

It's an act which goes unnoticed... how many of us do really ponder over the blink of an eye?

Yet we do time and again use the idiom... "in a blink of the eye"...or as they say in Hindi "palakh jhapakte hi"... many a time just to give the impetus that we need to make our point heard.

When I came across this avi... It kind of tugged me ... maybe it was the eyes... the way they blinked... the way it was aesthetically captured or maybe it was more so because I really had a brush with the phenomena of "A blink of the eye" recently.

This write up is more of a soul searching and healing for me than anything else. I lost someone very dear recently... I lost my little heartbeat at my feet... I lost my Pet... Guess I'm out here more to pour out what a few blinks of an eye with my pet meant to me... for we had been Humsafars for quite some time until recently.

I'm afraid I'm hardly making any sense out here...What has a dog to do with this forum you may ask... Guess that's something I will never be able to explain...or maybe I'll give it a try... More because there is something common between him, me and you...yes the show Humsafars.

'Muffin' as I lovingly called him, knew so well about my fondness for Harshad Chopda's shows that he would pull me out to the drawing room literally if I was busy with something else when the show was being aired... and that wouldn't end there. He would cozily lie near my feet and watch the show religiously. At times when I would miss the episode he knew I would squeeze in some time to catch up with the uploaded episodes late at night... even during those late hours he would accompany me. He was as much an ardent viewer of Humsafars as me. There have been times when after writing a write up, I would read it out to him... and he being a perfect gentleman would hear me out... sometimes wag his tail as if giving his approval. Suddenly in a blink off the eye I realize...he's gone. No more tugs at me to watch the show if I get busy... no more tail wag approvals... no more warmth at my feet... no more heartbeats at my feet.

I know that I cannot turn this post into an irrelevant one for the forum... So I bring in these couplets, which basically touch upon the fact that despite being just a blink ... a very short time frame as the time that it takes for a heartbeat... these very blinks engulf in them much more than these very eyes can meet. A blink is more of a transition, a change that sometimes leaves you spellbound either with awe or robs you off your words with certain remorse; or sometimes flickers the hope that may be this isn't the end...

Isn't that the very essence of life itself?

You may relate to this as far as Humsafars are concerned minus the mention of the fuzzy paws in the following couplets...

All I say is This one's for you Muffin...My four pawed Humsafar... Miss U...

A Blink Of The Eye

A blink of the eye... and you were here,

I knew no pain, no worries, no fear;

A blink of the eye... I had found a friend,

Who my wounded heart did mend;

A blink of the eye... and you meant more to me,

You filled my life with mirth and glee;

A blink of the eye... we fought the world,

Our lives on the happy notes had twirled;

A blink of the eye... and you taught me so much,

Those fuzzy paws my heart did touch.

***

A blink of the eye... and all was lost,

The moment froze in the icy frost;

A blink of the eye... that's all it took,

With your dying breath my whole world shook;

A blink of the eye... and it sealed our fate,

To meet you now is an eternal wait;

A blink of the eye...I guess you knew,

The time had come for a journey new;

A blink of the eye... with your sails set high,

Why do we ever have to say - Goodbye?

***

Memories are all that now I live by,

Goodbye oh beloved... In a blink of the eye;

Even as a star you brighten the gloomy sky,

The twinkle of my life lost... In a blink of the eye;

Lying on your warm rug as I whimper and cry,

A fuzzy pawed hope tugs ... In a blink of the eye;

You taught me to love and so I give it try,

To befriend another fuzzy paw ... In a blink of the eye;

Would you feel replaced I take a deep sigh,

It's your doing I realize... In a blink of the eye;

I send in my deep thoughts with the angels that fly,

We'll be together soon my friend... In a blink of the eye;

From a teary Goodbye to smiling Hi,

Life and love you taught me... In a blink of the eye.

***

This and much more is what a blink of the eye means to me...

with regards to Muffin...and Humsafars..

everything depends on a blink of the eye

I wonder as I read this write up aloud.. this time alone...

Is Muffin still out there wagging his fuzzy tail?

Does he approve?

Guess something we will never know.

Thanks for being patient and letting me write my heart out.
