In October, 2010, the Bilz & Kashif released a video for the song “Tera Nasha” from their latest album “Breaking Barriers” available on iTunes. The songs lyrics (the Hindi part) written by me is presented here in this post. The English parts were written by Kashif himself and they are included here as well. Enjoy [...]
The Bilz & Kashif recently released the video for Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na, another song for which the hindi lyrics were written by yours truly. The English lyrics, as usual, are written by Kashif himself. Enjoy the video along with the lyrics: Lyrics VERSE 1 Kabhi haan kabhi na karti hai Bol zara ye chakkar [...]
Here are the lyrics from the song Suno, sung by MasterD of Bilzmusic, part of their album Breaking Barriers (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/breaking-barriers/id364930732) also written by me. Suno suno meri sadaa, mahkii huii, hai pyaar ki sargam suno kahtii hai kyaa, bheegii hawaa, zara sun to lo sanam saahiloN pe haiN nazaare ye haseeN…naachne lagin hain maujein bhi [...]
Now that Bilzmusic have released their album “Breaking Barriers” {link to itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/breaking-barriers/id364930732} I figured I’d post some of the lyrics of the songs that I have written Here’s one: Tanhaii haaye sulagati tanhaai betaabiyaaN javaaN afsurda afsurda aaNkheiN DhooNDheiN tere nishaaN meri muhabbat, meri ibaadat meri vafaa zaKhm bane dil ke armaaN raNg yahaaN [...]
There’s this feeling, that one can get, every now and then, of something nagging. It doesn’t necessarily have to do with anything.. anything in particular, but something.. perhaps, someone, perhaps not. I think in this new nazm, I tried to capture it, though I might have failed miserably, but heck, it ended up being a [...]
One of the last nazm(s) I wrote, this one is entitled “Sorry”. Though using an english word in a Urdu poem might be considered not such great practices, I feel that with english being a big part of our daily communications, it is ok from a modern point of view to use such vocabulary. I [...]
Here’s another Ghazal that came about last year as well. I have always liked the word “jaanaaN” used as a radeef in Ghazals and have always wanted to write a Ghazal with the same. And hence the following Ghazal was penned: mujh ko ik baar to seene se lagaa lo jaanaaN mujh ko is gardish-e-dauraaN [...]
Here’s a small quatrain (qi’ta) that I wrote last year as well. A simple thought expressed in a simple manner: maiN ne kab tumse koii shikva kiyaa? maiN ne kab bevafaa kahaa tumko? mujhko apne pe hi yaqeen na thaa maiN ne ilzaam kab diyaa tumko? 09/17/06
Here’s my second nazm… which I totally love! No no, I’m so not “tooting” my own horn.. it really ended up being a nice nazm. Iztiraab (which means “bechaini”) is the title of this nazm: iztiraab ======= aaj phir raat tirii yaad se bojhal guzri aaj phir chaaNd mire haal pe ghamgeen rahaa aaj phir [...]
My first nazm ever…. oh it was so much easier writing nazm than writing a Ghazal, it seems that the idea flows far better (at least in my case, that’s what happened) and the nazm just “happened” quickly, while I take my own sweet time when I write Ghazals. Regardless, here’s my first nazm entitled: [...]
