Akhiri Padaav
April 26th, 2009
Yesterday afternoon a fleeting verse paid a visit to the confines of my mind and this afternoon while dozing off, I tried to finish the Ghazal, which I’m presenting for you all. Hopefully, this won’t be as hard to understand as “Khudkushi Ke Baad“. The vocabulary is fairly simple. Comments/criticism are both welcome. I also recorded a rushed recording.

very nicely written, though I think recitation could have been better
.. and for once its understandable .. as I already told you … good good !!

Thanks, yes the recitation sounds a bit hoarse, but the goal was to just get the “beher” of the Ghazal out there.

Feels good to be amongst your poetic output once again. Been quite some time though.
Always remember, it is the darkest before dawn.

Right on Dhar sahab, but I’m content with this month with Khudkushi sequel and this Ghazal.

accha sonch likha aur kaha hai………
lekin aakhiri safar ko itna kamzor kyu…mehsoos kiya hai …
humey to yeh yaad aa raha hai…
khudi ko kar itna buland
ki khuda bandhey se aakar yeh
poochey ki bata teri raza kya hai ….
let only love and truth prevail…
HARI OM TATSATH

Kamzoriyat nahi sukhanfahami ki baat ho rahi hai Anita ji if you carefully read the Maqta
..”And so I leave this mehfil of poets with nothing but a few verses.”

Bahut khoob! Yaar, I discovered your website looking for Ruskin Bond. And found a treasure all in its own right.
Then I heard your Parinda song and to me at least it is just as good as the original one from the movie (which I heard almost 15 years ago).
Then I read Khudkhushi. It has a force and depth its own and I am sure to come back to it.
It is clear you are a very talented young man Gautam. Glad to have found your corner on the web. Keep up the good work. I will be looking out, reading and listening whatever you put down.
