JANA THA HUMSE DOOR.....IMMORTAL GHAZALS - Page 2

Another one from Mausam

ruke ruke se kadam, ruk ke baar baar chale
karaar leke tere, dar se bekaraar chale

subah naa aayee, kayee baar neend se jaage
thee ek raat kee ye zindagee, guzaar chale

uthhaye firate the ehsaan dil kaa seene par
le tere kadmon mein ye karz bhee utaar chale

Are the above ones technically ghazals Salil ji?

I love listening to Ghazals any time , always sets a different mood. Only problem being following each and every word of Ghazal, it being most of the times in Urdu.
I am sure I can come up with a long list but here is one from film Sunny.

Aur Kyaa Ehad\-E\-Vafaa Hote Hai.N
Log Milate Hai.N Judaa Hote Hai.N

Kab Bichha.D Jaaye Hamasafar Hii To Hai
Kab Badal Jaaye Ik Nazar Hii To Hai
Jaan\-O\-Dil Jisape Fidaa Hote Hai.N
Aur Kyaa Ehad\-E\-Vafaa Hote Hai.N ...

Baat Nikalii Thii Is Zamaane Kii
Jisako Aadat Hai Bhuul Jaane Kii
Aap Kyo.N Hamase Khafaa Hote Hai.N
Aur Kyaa Ehad\-E\-Vafaa Hote Hai.N ...

Jab Rulaa Lete Hai.N Jii Bhar Ke Hame.N
Jab Sataa Lete Hai.N Jii Bhar Ke Hame.N
Tab Kahii.N Khush Vo Zaraa Hote Hai.N
Aur Kyaa Ehad\-E\-Vafaa Hote Hai.N ...


more to follow.. 😊

only ruke ruke se is a ghazal. The rules are

Ghazal is a ----
-- collection of 2-line independent poems (shers)
-- of the same length (meter -- 'beher')
-- with same words at the end of both lines of first sher and second lines of all shers (radif)
-- with rhyming words before all the radifs (kaafiyaa)
-- with the first sher following the radif and kaafiyaa rules for both lines (matla)

ruke ruke se kadam, ruk ke baar baar chale
karaar leke tere, dar se bekaraar chale

subah naa aayee, kayee baar neend se jaage
thee ek raat kee ye zindagee, guzaar chale

uthhaye firate the ehsaan dil kaa seene par
le tere kadmon mein ye karz bhee utaar chale

oops sorry Salil bhaiyya 😊 . I think Umrao Jaan songs may fit in, but they are the most popular ones..so I'm trying to think of other ones. This one should fit in.

Milti Hai Zindagi Mein Mohabbat Kabhi-Kabhi
Hotii Hai Dilbaron Ki Inaayat Kabhi-Kabhi

Sharmaa Ke Munh Na Pher Nazar Ke Savaal Par
Laati Hai Aise Mod Par Qismat Kabhi-Kabhi

Khulate Nahin Hain Roz Dariche Bahaar Ke
Aatii Hai Jaan-E-Man Ye Qayaamat Kabhi-Kabhi

Tanahaa Na Kat Sakenge Javaanii Ke Raaste
Pesh Aaegi Kisiikii Zaruurat Kabhi-Kabhi

Phir Kho Na Jaaen Hum Kahin Duniyaa Kii Bheed Mein
Milatii Hai Paas Aane Ki Muhalat Kabhi-Kabhi

Hotii Hai Dilbaron Ki Inaayat Kabhi-Kabhi
Milatii Hai Zindagi Mein Mohabbat Kabhi Kabhi ...

Seema, aur kya ehde wafaa is a beautiful one...and it is 'technically' adhering to the rules too.

one misconception that many people have is that Ghazals are only Urdu poetry. Ghazal is just form of poetry and there are Ghazals in many languages -- In Marathi, many poets have written quite a few Ghazals -- in fact one Marathi poet Suresh Bhat is known for his Ghazals. And the Ghazal above -- ruke ruke se, penned by Gulzar, is mostly in Hindi -- few Urdu words in that are used in it are mostly commonly used in Hindi too -- so they can be considered as Hindi words.

This one is from Ankhe, penned by Sahir Ludhiyanvi and composed by Ravi. I like is very much. I listed this as one of the Ghazals of Ravi in my post on page 2 -- check the list -- all great Ghazals by Ravi.
