Poet: Ahmed Faraz

Today's ghazal has been selected from Music Today's album 
titled Gulistan Volume 7 which feature ghazals sung by 
Tahira Syed, daughter of Mallika Pukhraj. Volume 8 in the 
same series features Geets and Folk songs by Tahir Syed.

It is a nice collection of ghazals sung well by Tahir Syed, 
whose voice may take some getting used to. However, if I 
wanted to buy just one album of her ghazals, this would be 
it. The album is fairly easily available. The inlay card is 
well done except that the name of the poets is missing - an 
unpardonable yet all too common error in a ghazal album.

This is the first ghazal on Side B of the tape. I will post 
some more ghazals from this album. For now, let's enjoy Ahmed 
Faraz's poetry.
 

ye aalam shauq kaa dekhaa na jaaye 
vo but hai yaa Khudaa dekhaa na jaaye 

[aalam = condition; but = idol]


ye kin nazaro.n se tum ne aaj dekhaa 
ke teraa dekhanaa dekha naa jaaye 


hameshaa ke liye mujh se bichha.D jaa 
ye ma.nzar baarahaa dekhaa na jaaye 

[manzar = scene; baarahaa = often]


Galat hai jo sunaa, par aazamaa kar 
tujhe ai baa-vafaa dekhaa na jaae 


ye maharuumii nahii.n, paas-e-vafaa hai 
ko_ii tere sivaa dekhaa na jaaye 

[maharuumii = wanting/lacking; sivaa = other than]
[paas-e-vafaa = regard/respect for love]


"Faraz" apane sivaa hai kaun teraa 
tujhe tujh se judaa dekhaa na jaaye
