Kaifi Aazmi

What a ghazal from Kaifi Aazmi !

Woh bhi sarahney lagey, arbaab e fun kay baad
Daad e sukhan mili mujhey, tarkay sukhan kay baad

Deewana'waar chaand say aagey nikal gaye
Thehera na dil kahiN bhi, teri anjuman kay baad

HontoN ko see kay dekhiye, puchtaiiye ga aap
Hungamey jaag uThte haiN, aksar ghutan kay baad

Ghurbat ki thandi chaa'oN meiN, yaad aayi uski dhoop
Qadr e watan hui humeiN, tark e watan kay baad

Elaan e haq meiN khatra e daaro rasan to hai
Lekin sawaal yeh hai kay, daaro rasan kay baad?

Hangamay jaag uthay hain aksar ghutan ke b'ad.
very expressive misr'a of a forceful ghazal indeed
I am picking on this misr'a for your Oct. 11 blog Mystic bhai
It so eloquently describes the Bipolar disorder.
The severe depressions we see I consider them almost "malignant" for they frequently end in disaster and are not amenable to usual treatments or even hospitalizations. The Psychiatrists may like to dis-agree with me.
