Chale Jaate Hain
March 15th, 2008
I think somewhere down the line, my Urdu Poetry shifted more towards Nazm writing with an occasional Ghazal in-between. And Nazms gave way to Geets and compositions especially during my trip to India last year. Last evening, a floating sher started budding in my mind, and tonight I sat down and wandered around with it and returned with a Ghazal. I dedicate this Ghazal to my late Grandfather, Janaab Kaushik Sahab, who has always inspired and critiqued me in visions.
Comments as always are welcome. I think the language is pretty straight forward. If you don’t understand any word, please leave a comment. For friends, who can’t read Hindi, I’ve recorded a quick recitation ![]()
