I could not sleep yesterday night .. was feeling some heaviness inside me .. like something breaking .. in the morning at around 5 ' o ' clock i picked up a collection of Md Alvi's poem and started reading them to myself .. i recorded this poem in my phone . The picture which I've used is of Rock beach , Pondy . It is the same place where the iconic song Aawarapan Banjarapan was shot . The song to...

25th March 2023 ko raat 2 baje main in dono ghazals ko record kar raha hun .. ajeeb sannata kaano mein baj raha hai .. meri aawaaz mein bujhi bujhi si ek udaasi mehek rahi hogi .. main in ashaaron ki ungli pakad kar zindagi ke qareeb jaana chaahta hun ..

Tu mujhe itne pyaar se mat dekh .. ye nazm pehli martaba class 11th mein padhi thi .. Ali sardar jafri ki ek kitaab MERA SAFAR mein .. is nazm ke saffe par kaaghaz ki ek nanhi parchi daba kar rakh li thi .. us ek parchi par us ladki ka email ID likha tha jo umra mein mujhse saat baras badi thi ..school ke waqt ka pyaar mera .. main hamesha ye nazm usey padh kar sunana chaahta tha .. par aisa kabhi...

Hum ab us umra mein aa pohoche hain ki hum bhi yun hi .. dil se mil aate hain bus rasm nibhaane ke liye .. faiz ki ye poem ek friend se discuss karte hue realise hua ki in do lines se behatar toh kam hi lines hui hain Urdu poetry mein .. ye waada kiya tha ki faiz ki ye poem record karenge .. dus-baarah koshishon ke baad finally .. shukriya .. happy listening .. soz .

This is a signature gulzar poem .. it was a random thought to recite and record this today morning .. if I talk about this one poem i can go on talking for hours .. the crux is .. THIS IS THE STORY OF EVERY POET .. OR EVERY ARTIST .. ONE HAS TO DIE EVERYTIME ONE CREATES SOME STUFF .. A POEM OR A PAINTING PERHAPS .. The picture is so apt .. it was shared by an azeez dost .. who clicked it in rishik...

This poem is written by Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar ( who is a blessed multi-talented artist .. an amazing writer , director and sometimes even an actor ) . The rhythm is attractive . The words and thoughts are so blunt and that is what I find outstanding ( and this is the only reason I've recited this poem and included it in my podcast ) . The image used was shared by a beloved friend . Just see how a...

Poet : Qateel Shifaai . This one poem depicts the frustration of a poet . What is to be published and not to be published is decided by the publisher ( who are idiots with no poetic sense ) . In this poem the poet feels sorry for his beloved ( or the thoughts/pain of his beloved ) . These poems are actually the token of his beloved's thoughts/pain which will never get published and will ultimately...

Shaayad kisi ke hijr mein .. yaa kisi ke intezaar mein shaayad .. ek cigarette liye balcony mein baitha hun .. shaam qatra qatra tapak rahi hai .. chaand ki athanni door ufaq par dikhaai pad rahi hai .. Nasir Kazmi ka sher yaad aa raha hai : Humaari ghar ki deewaaron pe naasir .. udaasi baal khole so rahi hai ! Needless to mention .. faiz's poem .

Kaifi Azmi ki ye nazm .. aap iska recitation sunte sunte ye imagine kar sakte hain ki koi naya naya aashiq apne kamre mein raat letkar chhat ko takk raha hai .. chhat ke slate par ye saare lafz dheere dheere ubhar rahe hain .. inhe kal subah woh ek safed kaaghaz par likh kar apni class mein padhne waali us ek ladki ko dene waala jo usko behadd haseen lagti hai ~ Abhishek :) Send a voice message to...

Qateel Shifaai ki ek khoobsurat nazm .. Diwali ki raat shaayad likh rhe honge .. sabka hijr ek saa .. tamaam dard ek se .. main aksar sochta hun ki duniya mein har ek shakhs ke guzaare intezaar ko jodkar kitna bada waqt ka tukda banaaya jaa sakta hai .. jo khala mein saans lete kisi black hole se zyaada bohot zyaada bada hoga .

Kabul ke guzre waqt .. puraane dino'n ke naam ye ek nazm .. waqt guzar kar shaayad jama hota rehta hai kahi'n .. koi ek surang hai jo kabhi nahi'n bharti .. ye nazm usi ki parchhaai hai .. meri hi nazm hai ye .. jo photo istemaal ki hai woh tanyushenka.tumblr.com se li hai .

It's my birthday today 25th Aug .. I'm uploading this nazm of gulzar .. ye ek nazm bohot ummeed hai jisme .. main jab nahin rahunga tab shaayad phir kisi ek din se koi shakhs utthega .. ye lau jo bujh nahin sakti .. jalti rahegi .

Shaharyar ne ye nazm apni biwi najma ke liye likkhi thi .. kitni sundar nazm hai ye .. ek forties ya fifties ki umra ka koi shauhar kitni lazzat se apni family ko dekh raha hai aur ye nazm keh raha hai .. bachpan mein kisi akhbaar se kaat kar ye nazm maine kamre mein chipkaai thi :) Send a voice message to my podcast, Lafz: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lafz--soz/message

Khushiyon ki manzil dhundi toh gham ki gard mili .. chaahat ke naghme chaahe toh aahein sard mili .. bohot log in ashaaron ke saath connect kar paayenge yakeen hai mujhe .. duniya ke har ek shakhs ki us mohabbat ke naam jo kabhi mukammal nahin hui : ) Send a voice message to my podcast, Lafz: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lafz--soz/message

Maine ye ek khat 2019 mein likh kar hawaaon mein uda diya tha .. uske lafz hain jo aaj bhi mere andar goonj rahe hain .. pichhli shab isey padha aur record kiya .. ik roz yun hoga ki likhte likhte tumko thakk jaaunga .. mujhe ab usi ek din ka intezaar hai : ) The cover pic which I've used is of sunset point kasauli .. koi din tha woh bhi !
