पत्ता-पत्ता, बूटा-बूटा हाल हमारा जाने है

Lyrics: Meer Taqi Meer
Singer: Mehdi Hasan

पत्ता-पत्ता, बूटा-बूटा हाल हमारा जाने है
जाने-ना-जाने गुल ही ना जाने, बाग तो सारा जाने है।

चारागरी बीमारी-ए-दिल की रस्म-ए-शहर-ए-हुस्न नहीं
वरना दिलबर नादाँ भी इस दर्द का चारा जाने है।

महर-ओ-वफ़ा-ओ-लुत्फ़-ओ-इनायत एक से वाक़िफ़ इनमें नहीं
और तो सब कुछ तन्ज़-ओ-किनाया रम्ज़-ओ-इशारा जाने है।

महर = Affection
चारागरी = Healing of Wounds and Pain
तन्ज़ = Jest, Laugh, Quirk, Satire, Sarcasm
किनाया = Riddle
रम्ज़ = Secret, Mysterious

    महर = affection
    वफ़ा kaa matalab to aapako pataa hii hogaa
    किनाया = riddle
    तन्ज़ kaa matalab ’sarcasm’ ke zyaadaa kariib hai.

    aur haa.N, yahaa.N रंज (ra.nj) nahii.n balki ‘ramz’ hai, jisakaa matalab hai gupt-, matalab bharaa, rahasyamayii-ishaaraa yaa innuendo.

  7. Rajan Says:

    Kunal Goel said ” somtimes he thinks that Meer is better than Ghalib”
    FYI..Ghalib himself has admitted the greatness of Meer in his shayeri as thus:
    “Rekhta ke tumhi ustaad nahiN ho Ghalib
    Kahatay hain aglay zamaane koi Meer bhi tha”
    This sher is from Ghalib’s ghazal ” huyi der to kuchh baa’iisay taakheer bhi tha”

  8. Kunal Goel Says:

    hey Rajan, I didn’t know about this ghazal. thanks!

  9. rajan Says:

    Well Kunal;…….. Here is another one of Ghalib written in the praise of Meer…..

    Meer ke sheron ka ahwaal kahoon kya “Ghalib”
    Jiska deevaan kum-az-ghulshanay Kashmeer nahin.

    Means “What can I say about the beauty of Meer’s poetry
    which is no less than the beautiful valley of Kashmir

  10. Jaya Says:

    Thanks Zaamin. Have corrected it.
