Poetry
Some of my favorite couplets..
Urdu comes first!
Tere vaade par jiye ham to ye jaan jhuuth jaanaa
ke khushii se mar na jaate agar aitabaar hotaa
Ghalib
Hindi: It was nightmarish to write Hindi script!!
Mere prabhu,
Mujhe itni unchain kabhi mat dena,
Gairo ko gale lagan a saku,
Itni rukhai Kabhi mat dena
AB Vajpeyee
English will be the next one!
Though leaves are many, the root is one;
Through all the lying days of my youth
I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun;
Now I may wither into the truth.
W. B. Yeats
Farsi: I hardly understand the language. But Dual Language (Farsi + Hindustani) poetry by Ameer Khusro tops the list.
shabaan-e-hijran daraaz chun zulf wa roz-e waslat cho umr kotah,
sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun to kaise kaatun andheri ratiyan
Ameer Khusro
Currently Listening to..
huzur is kadar bhi na itra ke chaliye,
khule-aam zulfe na bikhra ke chaliye.
