Ghazal: Aazadi-e-Nisvaan (The Freedom Of Women)


Is Bahas Ka Faisla main kuch Kar Nahi Sakta; 
Jo Khoob Samajhta Hoon Ke Yeh Zeher hai woh Qand

I cannot make any decision in this argument 
Though I understand very well that this side is poison; that side sugar

Kya Faida Kuch Keh Ke Banu Aur Bhi Ma'toob?
Pehle Hi Khafa Mujhse Hain Tehzeeb Ke Farzand

What's the benefit of saying something and becoming more vilified?
Already they are angry with me; the offspring of modern civilization

Iss Raaz Ko Aurat Ki Baseerat Hi Kare Faash; 
Majboor Hain Ma'zoor Hain Mardaan-e-Khiradmand

This secret, only the inside of women would reveal 
They are helpless, they are to be excused, the men of wisdom

Kya Cheez Hai Aaraa'ish-o-Keemath Mein Zyaada?
Aazaadi-e-Nisvaa Ke Zumurrud Ka GuluBand?

Which thing is greater in adornment and value?
The freedom of women or an emerald necklace?

Amir Khusro- Sakal Bun Phool Rahi Sarson

This Qalam is a classical hits and all-time favorite. The Purbi lyrics and the raag bahar melody are both very inspirational and its contains many words in Urdu as well. A scene of exciting preparation taking place near a blooming yellow mustard field one winter's day is expertly drawn in just a few lines. The music builds up in-step with the poetry and reaches its crescendo at the exact moment when the devotees arrive at the dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin holding colorful bouquets in hand. But one particular devotee cannot be there to make an offering and one finds that despite all the excitement of the music and the scenery the poem is but a poet's confession of a broken promise long overdue. Sakal bun (or Saghan bhun) phool rahi sarson, Sakal bun phool rahi..... Umbva phutay, tesu phulay, koyal bolay daar daar, Aur gori karat singaar, Malaniyan gadhwa lay aayin karson, Sakal bun phool rahi..... Tarah tarah kay phool lagaaye, Lay gadhwa haathan mein aaye. Nijamudin kay darwazay...
