Main Lafzon Mein Kuch Bhi Izhar Nahi Karta.....

Here are a few lines I read recently..


Main Lafzon Mein Kuch Bhi Izhar Nahi Karta
Iska Matlab Ye Nahi Ki Main unse Pyar Nahi Karta
Chahta Ho on Main use Aaj Bhi Par
uski Soch Mein Apna Waqt Bekar Nahi Karta
Tamasha Naa Ban Jaaye Kahi Mohabbat Meri
Isi Liye Apne Dard Ko Mamoodaar Nahi Karta
Jo Kuch Mila Hai Usi Mein Khush Hoon Main
Uske Liye Khuda Se Taqraar Nahi Karta
Par Kuch Tau Baat Hai uski Fitrat Mein
Warna Main use Chahne Ki Khata Baar Baar Nahi Karta



Got it as a forward. Don’t know why but it seems to have tugged in my heart. It’s not as if it is the greatest piece of poetry I have read. Still it has kind of stayed with since the time I first read it, which was about a week back. I am not the sort of person who reads poetry, ghazals, & the likes. I love reading though. I read things and if I like them, well & good. Else just ignore maadi ;-).


Coming back to the original topic.. I did some brain storming on why these lines keep popping up in my head. Had a long discussion with my roomies & friends on this.. everyone had there take on it. Since I’ve never been in love (not the Romeo - Juliet kind anyways..), couldn’t blame it on that Ruled out in the first go itself.. :-).. Sighhhh..… :-(. Here are a few of the reasons which we could think of:

1. Great lines! – Yeah it is. At least I believe so. Since that’s not entirely the case it was ruled out.

2. Most romantic one- Nope. Not even that. PB Shelley’s poems would do more justice here.

3. Essence of the poem – True. The feelings conveyed in the lines are really quite touching. Maybe coz there’s that dash of sorrow into it. And as they say nothing touches people more than tragedy.

4. Even after making the earlier disclaimer, per my friend Ashwani, that’s coz I am in love… ;-) But since I know I am not and thank god I am not, this also gets ruled out.

5. The one which hit the closest was the observation made by my friend Rachna. She told it reminds of my major crush.. Mr.B… sigh.. can’t even write his name without letting out a sigh.. FYI, he is my ex-colleague & that’s all. There begins & ends my story. So I am not sure whether it reminded me of him from the beginning but yes after her observation it does remind me of him. :-)
It’s true. You like a poem more when you are able to associate yourself with it in some way. Even if it is only through a foolish crush. You look back at those moments and have a good laugh. Brings a smile into your face. You don’t regret it but as they say an “If…" is always there.. ;-) And it’s our tendency to remember only the good times.

6. Can you think of anything else?

Whatever the reason, I have really enjoyed the above poetry (or ghazal or whatever it is called.. as u can see my knowledge on these things is negative). Hopefully u’ll like it too. Have fun!!
