Defining Being

As you may know me.... I try to pen my feelings, with more honesty than with language and grammar. While reading the posts below you may experience what compelled me to write these.
While I was thinking of giving a name to my Blog; this came to me; "Nuances of Being"
Being "Me" is the best that I am at and hope that will show in the posts below

And Thanks for reading

Ghalib's masterstrokes


I was reading some of Ghalib's work and though he is without doubt the Best. No words to say how I feel about his work and especially some portions....
Sharing some of the lines from various ghazals... Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.....


तेरे वादे पर जिए हम, तो यह जान झूठ जाना 
कि ख़ुशी से मर न जाते, अगर ऐतबार होता !
यह कहाँ की दोस्ती है, कि बने हैं दोस्त नासे
कोई चारासाज होता कोई ग़म-ख्वार  होता!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
हुआ जब ग़म से य़ू बेहिस तो ग़म क्या सर के कटने का 
न होता ग़र जुदा तन से तो ज़ानो पर पड़ा होता 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ता फिर न इंतज़ार में नींद आये उम्र भर
आने के एहद कर गए, आये जो ख्वाब में 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
अपनी हस्ती ही से हो जो भी हो,
आगाही ग़र नहीं ग़फलत ही सही
