Subject: A ghazal by Ganesh Bihari 'Tarz'!
Hi folks
Another Ganesh Bihari 'Tarz' (takkallus
- tarz) ghazal, from the album
'Tarz', for you ghazalers. Enjoy!
1. ik zara dil ke qareeb aao tho kuch chain
pade
jaam ko jaam se takrao tho kuch chain pade
[if you once come close to my heart, then I
will feel comforted
when you clink drink with drink(as in saying cheers), I will feel
comforted]
2. baithe baithe tho har mauj se dil dehlega
badke toofan se takraao tho kuch chain pade
[if one sits (on the sea-shore), then one will
obviously feel uneasy with every wave
only if one goes forward and confronts the storm, will one feel
comforted]
3. jee ulajh tha haiN nagma-e-rangeen sunkar
geet ek dard bhara gaao tho kuch chain pade
[one feels at unease when listening to very
flashy/colorful/loud songs
only if one sings a sentimental song does one feel comforted]
4. 'daagh' ke sher jawaani meiN bhale lagthe
haiN
'mir' ki koi ghazal gaao tho kuch chain pade
['daagh's' poetry, one may feel, is good when
one is young
only if you sing some 'mir's' ghazal will one feel comforted]
5. yaad-e-ayaa mein guzishtan se ijaazat
lekar
'tarz' kuch der ko so jaao tho kuch chain pade
[after taking permission from the thoughts of
your past
'tarz' if you could sleep for some time, i will feel comforted]
