सवेरा - The Morning



I humbly request Grammy Winner Ricky Kej to compose music for :


Penned By Narayan-Chandra Rauf - Alias B D Narayankar

शायर: नारायण-चंद्र रऊफ - उर्फ़ बी डी नारायंकर 

हर एक सवेरे का अँधेरा है, हर एक अँधेरे का सवेरा है 
इस बात को समझो तो लगे, हर पल सवेरा ही सवेरा है 

मुस्कुराओ गमों के दायीरे में तुम हर सू

 इन्ही मुस्कुराहटों में ही मेरा बसेरा हैं

आगे आगे चलो तुम मशाल वालों

रास्ता टेढा बादल घनेरा हैं

लगी हैं हर कुछ पाने की होड़ यहाँ

यहाँ ना कुछ मेरा है ना तेरा है 

लौट आते हैं दुनिया में हम सभी

राख राख खाक खाक यही बसेरा हैं

Reason for the song

Saw her on the television ... company results it was ... mike in her hand ... that glamour ... naa that smile was missing from her famous cheeks ... wanted to know the reason ... though my first hunch was ... you guessed right if one is wise 

Pause

Texted her an enquiry message, knowing well she would not make me sad by opening up her incendiary emotions billowing through her heart heavy ...  A ditto like me ... I want to see everyone around happy ...

Heard from some quarters, but I believe words coming from the horse's mouth ... 

Oblivious still I am ... the loss of the smile, if I happen to see ... I get lost ...

Ruminating over the smile-lessness, I penned thus




Penned By B D Narayankar

Har ek savere ka andhera hain
har ek andhere ka savera hain
is baat ko samjho toh lage
har pal savera hi savera hain

Muskuraao gamo ke dayire mein tum har su
inn muskurahaton mein hi mera basera hain

aage aage chalo tum mashal walon
rasta teda baadal ghanera hain

lagi hain har kuch pane ki hod yahan
yahan na kuch mera hain na tera hain

lautne hi duniya mein aate hain sabhi
rakh rakh khak khak yehi basera hain

राज़-ए-माहताब - The Mysterious Moon


I humbly request Grammy Winner Ricky Kej to compose music for:

शायर: बी डी नारायंकर

आज भी जब चस्मे निगाह गिरती हैं शानो पर
चलते चलते रुक जाता हूँ काजल की दुकानो पर

सस्ते दामो खरीद ही लेते मगर जी था भर आया
जो उसका नाम गुँथा था काग़ज़ के गुल-दानो पर

और भी नज़रे झुकने लगती और सीना कसने लगता
जब भी दिल फिसलने लगता इश्क़ के ढलवानो पर

दिल बेचैन सा हो जाता हैं आपकी गैर हाज़री पर
इंतज़ार में गड़ी  रहती फिर निगाह रोशन-दानो पर

उसका अंदाज़ क्या कहू उस के राज़ क्या बताऊँ  
इकरार भी करना चाहे, हाथ भी रखे ज़बानो पर


Reason behind this song

It was Novopay event ... brought us close ... savoring I was the proximity ... whispers and husky voice delighted our ears

Pause

Eyes ... those dove eyes ... divine, inspirational  ... delicate ... rosy ... tender ... silken ... slippery ... and yet indescribable ... Filled life in me whenever those fell on my shoulders, turning back ...

I wouldn't say much - she is a poet's delight ... a poet's imagination ... she is the Mysterious Moon


Penned By B D Narayankar

Aaj bhi jab chasme nigah girti hain shano par
chalte chalte ruk jaata hoon kajal ki dukano par

Saste damo kharid hi lete magar jee tha bhar aayaa
jo uska naam guntha tha kagaz ke gul-dano par

aur bhi nazare jhukne lagti aur seena kasne lagta
jab bhi dil fisalne lagta ishq ke dhalwano par

uss ka andaaz kya bataaon uss ke raaz kya kahoo
ikrar bhi karna chahe haath bhi rakhe, zabano par

Dil bechain sa ho jaata hain aapki gair hazari par
intizaar mein gadi rehti hain nigah roshan-dano par

ज़िंदगी बहता पानी हैं - Life Is Fluid - Impermanent - Changing


I humbly request Grammy Winner Ricky Kej to compose music for:

Penned By Narayan-Chandra Rauf

शायर: नारायण-चन्द्र रऊफ  

ज़िंदगी ठोस नहीं बहता पानी हैं
हुस्न हालात शबाब सभी फानी हैं

मिट जाएँगे दिक्कते सारे के सारे अभी
यह लंबी नहीं पल दो पल की कहानी हैं

चट्टाने खड़ी क्यों न हो ठोस राहो में
नेस्तानाबूद करता उनको गीला पानी हैं

(Incomplete)

Reason behind this song

Came to know of the "tightrope-difficulty" of handling family and office of someone special ... Difficulties are opportunities ... life is transient ... so are difficulties ... they die and appear again ... it's a cyclic process ... goes on and on and on ... never stops ... what is constant is the change ... life is not solid ... its liquid ... it changes ... so do difficulties and everything else ... difficulties are fountains of inspiration ... taste it ... embrace it ... work on it ... even if your efforts do not change things ... it is bound to change on its own ... that's the nature of Nature ... change is constant ... but can permanency be constant? ... yes, Paramatma - the Supreme Lord - Lord Krishna for some ... is constant ... yogis and seers realise that ....

Pause

Know this - you are happy

I dedicate this song to her - she is as gorgeous as the Moon


Penned By B D Narayankar


Zindagi thos nahin behta paani hain
shabab husn haalaat sab faani hain

Dikkate sare mitt jayenge aapke saare sabhi 
yeh lambi nahin pal do pal ki kahani hain

kitni bhi thos chattane khadi ho raaho mein magar
nestanaabood karta unko geela paani hain

बस आप का एक सहारा - The Helping Moon



I humbly request Grammy Winner Ricky Kej to compose music for:

शायर: बी डी नारायंकर

अगर मैं पैदा न  होता
आप का यूँ चर्चा न होता

मर-मिट जाते कब के हम
गर आप का सहारा न होता

मुझे देख आँखे न झुकती
तो राज़ ए उल्फत ज़ाहिर न होता

आपको मुझ से प्यार न होता
तो मुझे करार न होता

A Piece To Share ... I Thought Fit

Sorry .... otherwise I would have come up with yet another ghazal ... couldn't for last four days ... bit too much late ... for I have one plucked from the verdant thoughts ... not less than two days ... sometimes I would have one in my kitty but would not have posted

I assumed the charge as Mahatma (Gandhi) did the best ... tending ... yes tending for three days ... my son had been admitted for Dengue ... nothing to worry though ... first two days were crucial though ... but I had strong belief ... a aa  ... I had vishwas on my family tree - The Narayankars ... for last four generations ... not a single person succumbed to any disease

My child is fine ... kicking alive ... by tomorrow evening he should be discharged

All these days, sitting in one corner of the hospital room ... looking at my son moaning out of pain, I only prayed no mother should undergo the pain which I bore

Amidst all this, one face always came before me ... gave me hope ... gave me life ... strengthened my vishwas ... she is as wonderful ... as resplendent ... as faithful as the MOON is to the sun

She inspires, will inspire till last drop of my blood does not smoulder to its end in the pyre ....

My pen stroked these verses thus in her memory ....

अगर मैं पैदा न  होता
आप का यूँ चर्चा  न होता

मर-मिट जाते कब के हम
गर आप का सहारा न होता

Goodshepards Musings - शयातीन ख़यालात - Devilish Thoughts

Image result for flying hair on girls women
I humbly request  Grammy Award Winner Ricky Kej to compose music -

शायर: बी डी नारायंकर

बालों में उगलियाँ चलती हैं तो यह दिल दिल रंगीन हैं मचलता
लाख कोशिशों के बावजूद यह दिल दिल नहीं संभलता

बिखरे पड़े हैं पुर-कैफ़ राह में आतिशी खुशबुओं का मंज़र
तेरे इस तपिश के आड़  में अब दिन रात ये दिल संगीन पिघलता

यूही आती जाती हैं शाम-ए-विसाल शब-ए-रुखसत के रात और दिन
बिना देखे तुझे एक दिन बहलाने से भी यह दिल नहीं बेहलता

इब्लीस ख़यालात उभरते हैं तेरे हुस्न ओ जमाल को देखता हूँ तब
रोक लो मुझे निगाह-ए-पाक से वरना यह दिल शयातीन मचलता

Penned By B D Narayankar

Balon mein ugaliyan chalti hain toh yeh dil dil rangeen hain machalta 
Lakh koshihon ke bawjood yeh dil mera dil nahin hain sambhalta

bikhare pade hain pur-kaif rah mein aatishi khusbooyon ka manzar
tere iss tapish ke aadh mein ab din raat ye dil sangeen hain pighalta

yuhi aati jaati hain shaam-e-visaal shab-e-rukhsat ke raat aur din
bina dekhe tuje ek din behlaane se bhi yeh dil nahin hain behalta

iblees khayalat ubharte hain tere husn o jamaal ko dekhta hoon tab
rok lo mujhe nigah-e-paak se varna yeh dil shayatiin hain machalta


The reason behind this song


Woke up in the morning .... desperate was I as always in the mornings ... My mind always in the hunt of a situation to quench my thirst for poetry ... Browsing through the whatsapp profiles, I saw an updated profile pic of that Bharatnatyam dancer of a friend of mine ... saw her fingers foreplay her hair ... That was enough ... My mind sailed back to the Goodshephard's event, nearly 16 or so months back, when I melted seeing HERS (my love) braid falling apart caressing her cheeks amidst the whiff of mirthful breeze ... Even now that spectacle is etched somewhere in a corner of my memories ... cannot forget ... I live it every moment ... cherish it every second ... that spectacle I burn to see it again ... at least, before I have gone ... God ...

I thank the dancer-friend who smiled at the very first couplet I texted her .... Thanks

तन्हा चाँद - The Lonely Moon!


I humbly request Grammy Award Winner Ricky Kej to compose music for:  

शायर: बी डी नारायंकर 

बे-अंदेशा सेहरा में उंघने लगतें हैं
रातें सोती हैं तो उड़ने  लगतें हैं
सौंधे से माहौल में गजरे बहते हैं
मज़े खुशबूओं के बदन पे घुलने लगतें हैं

छिले पडे हैं खाक के ठेले 
तपती रात का सपना आए
नींद की आबाद गली में
घूम के चाँद तन्हा आए
नींद में हल्की खुशबूओं सी घुलने लगती हैं
पानी जैसी आँखें, सपने डुबोने लगती हैं

साहिल तलक आना, रौ में बहना
मौजो का कोई छोर नहीं
तेरे तो आँखों में होंगे सपने
मेरे पतंग का कोई डोर नहीं
निकाहतों के दयार में आतिशी गुल पिरोने लगती हैं
ओढ़ के फ़िज़ा ज़मीं पे दाग-ए-जिस्त धोने लगती हैं



Penned By B D Narayankar

Be-andesha sahara mein unghane lagti hain
raatein soti hain toh udhane lagti hain
saundhe se maahaul mein gajre behte hain
majhe khusbuyon ke badan pe ghulne lagti hain

chili padi hain khak ke tele
tapti raat ka sapna aaye
neend ki abaad gali mein
ghum ke chaand tanha aaye
neend mein halki khusbuyen si ghulne lagti hain
paani jaisi aankhen, sapne dubone lagti hain


Saahil talak aanaa, rau mein behnaa
maujo ka koyi chcahor nahin
tere toh aankhon mein honge sapne
mere patang ka koyi dor nahin
Nikahaton ke dayaar mein aatishi gul pirone lagti hain
odh ke fiza zamee pe daag-e-jist dhone lagti hain
