Jagjit, Bhades-ism and Saturday evening

Its really after a very long time that I am relaxing on a saturday evening, alone, with Jagjit's ghazal playing in background.......

Gaanth Agar lag jaaye to phir, rishte ho ya dor
Laakh karein koshish khulane mein waqt to lagta hai

Don't be surprised, I am in office..... but no body else is. The last man left around an hour ago. My home is hardly 10 minutes from here, and no body is there waiting. So, I give a hoot to where I am. Its an amazing feeling to listen and relive best days of my life (rings: hotel california.....)

Gulshan ki faqat phoolon se nahin kaanton se jeenat hoti hai
Jeene ke liye is duniya mein gham ki bhi zarurat hoti hai

Ai waiz-e-nadaan karta hai tu ek kayamat ka charcha
Yahan roz nigahein milti hain yahan roz kamayat hoti hai

Rajan se shaam ko baat ho rahi thi. Wo bhi acche mood mein tha. Humne apni bhojpuri-vajjika ke shabd-saamrtya ko tatola aur flying colours se pass hue. Some examples:

Anthiyana (ignore), bitta (measure of finger-length), dhanmanana (unstable walking), kankanaana (shiver), chharapana (to climb over a wall), chhardewali (boundary-wall), ballu-ballu (you know), belchatta (bald), dharkna (to flow, to come down), bila jana (to get lost), dhahat-dhimlhat (getting ok, somehow), tagharna (when drops come one by one) ....... chalo, baaki ke kabhi alag se post karunga.....

Abhi ke liye itna hi. Meri pasandida gazal aa rahi. Don't want disturbance.

Koi dost hai na rakeeb hai
Tera shaher kitna ajeeb hai

Main kise kahoon mere saath chal
Yahan sabke sar pe saleeb hai

Yahan kiska chehara padha karun
Yahan kaun itna kareeb hai......

Meaning in English:

No friend for me, no enemy
Your city is stranger to me

Whom to ask to walk along
everybody's head Cross is on

faces tell no story, or writing is so fine
I can't read, they are so alien
