Mehfil-e-Ghazal - 22nd December, 2012

aaNdhii chalii to naqsh-e-kaf-e-paa nahiiN milaa - Mustafa Zaidi

aaNdhii chalii to naqsh-e-kaf-e-paa nahiiN milaa
dil jis se mil gayaa wo dubaara nahiiN milaa

[naqsh-e-kaf-e-paa = footprints]

ham anjuman meN sabakii taraf dekhate rahe
apanii tarah se ko_ii akelaa nahiiN milaa

aawaaz ko to kaun samajhataa ki door door
KhaamoshiyoN kaa dard_shanaasaa nahiiN milaa

[dard_shanaasaa = someone knowledgeable about pain]

kachche ghaRe ne jeet lii nadii chaRhii hu_ii
mazaboot kashtiyoN ko kinaaraa nahiiN milaa

Enjoy Abida Parveen's rendition of this lovely ghazal...
