Poetry on last day of college
Recently a few students of Aligarh Muslim university approached me to record a poetry for their seniors to be played on the last day of their college . This poetry was a gift from the current batch to passing away batch on their farewell.
I loved the gesture and am happy to have been able to contribute
Poem composed by: Dr. Aftab & Abid Nadeem Nomani , shatir
This poetry style was inspired by my older poem : Nostalgia ode to college life and friends
Haye ye kaisi ghari aa gai hai
Musibat ye kaisi bari aa gai hai
Dil ye karta hai, aansoo bahata rahoon
Khud bhi rota rahoon, aur rulata rahoon
Kitne haseen pal the, jab yaha aaye the
Nadan wa be aqal the, jab yaha aaye the
Ghar se door aaye to bara darr lagta tha
Kaise kat payega mushkil safar lagta tha
Kabhi humko batate the ye kaam galat hai
Baron se oonchi hai awaz ye baat galat hai
Kabhi dantna aur do batein sunana
Fir agle hi pal aakar seene se lagana
Wo bhi kya din the jab senior se darte the
Darr ke mare classon me raha karte the
Magar wahi bare jo paraye lagte the
Hame har waqt nazron me bithaye rakhte the
Unki judai se ye aankh bharr aai hai
Kalam kaanp raha,awaz bhi bharrai hai
Unka wo chhoti si baat par humse rooth jana
Aur fir kamron me aakar khud hame manana
Wo baat baat me hame bura bhala kahna
Magar tahzeeb ki batein bhi bar mala kahna
Kuch bhi ho ,tumse bahut kuch seekha humne
Tumse jeene ka saleeqa seekha humne
Tumse har mor par wafa hi wafa payi hai
Chot pahunchi jo hame aankh teri bhar aaihai
Jab kabhi guzri hui baton ko yaad karta hon
Tum se har aan mulaqat ki faryad karta hoon
Kya tum hame tanha chhor jaoge
Kya tum kabhi laut kar nahi aaoge
Hum jo thokren khayen to sambhaloge nahi
Kya hame ab andhero se nikaloge nahi
Kya mere dilko tadapte huye dekhoge
Kya meri aankh baraste huye dekhoge
Bahut si baten aisi jo keh nahi sakte
Magar kahe bina bhi rah nahi sakte
Hazaar shikayaten hon sub maaf kar dena
Tumhare bhai bahen hain maaf kar dena
Zara dekho in ankhon ko kaise roye jati hain
Jo inme noor thaw o noor bhi ye khoye jati hain
Tumhare baad ab is dard par marham nahi hoga
Hamari zindagi me pyar ka mausam nahi hoga
Kaun lafzon ki jadoogari sikhayega
Kaun likhna padhna hame sikhayega
Fail hone par kaun hame himmat dilayega
Kaun naqal karne ke tareeke batayega
Tum na hoge to dharne pe kaun baithega
Administration ki galtiyon pe kaun bhadkega
Tum se seekha hai mohabbat me inkar na karna
Tum pyar to karna magar izhar na karna
Tumse seekha hai ustad ki izzat kya hai
Tumse jaana hai ki sachi mohabbat kya hai
Tum chale jaoge to hamara ladakpan bhi jayega
Jawani bhi jayegi, hamara bachpan bhi jayega
Bahut yaad ayega guzra zamana
Marhaba ki pastries wo bobby’s ka khana
Wo munna wo jeetu wo rabbani ki chaye
Wo mamoo ki biryani wo momos fry
Tum hi the sabhi kuch tumhi ja rahe ho
Ye kiske hawale kiye ja rahe ho
Hame rulake tumhe bhi sukoon na ayega
S.S hall aur shame I.G na bhool payega
Hamare saath ameer nishan ki yaad ayegi
Fir uske baad raton ki neend jayegi
Abhi bhi yaad hai bina sherwani dining jana
Aur har lukme ke sung tumhari daant bhi khana
Hawai chappalon ke sung murga bana diya tumne
Ajeeb hunar tha murge se anda dila diya tumne
Zindagi meri adhoori hai adhoori na rahe
Tum jahan bhi raho bus dil me doori na rahe
Dard me hain suhaib aur gham me zafeer
Aankh me aftab ki hai yadon ka dher
Kahin aisa naho waqt ki andhi me kho jao
Fir uske baad humse milne na aa pao
Zindagi me milne ki faryad karte rahna
Mil na paye to shatir ko yaad karte rahna
Aftab hai mera nam aur ye tha mere seniors k lye ek chota sa paigam
Let me start this post by apologising to Subho for not posting this beautiful poetry of his earlier(It’s been a year ). I had tried recording it at a few instances earlier but failed, the poem is too powerful for me to do full justice and I was not happy with my initial trials, even though this one may not be as excellent as it should be, I hope it atleast does not do injustice to the poem .
Here you go: One Million Magi
Whenever I woke up..
I started walking
and then
It came from no where..Hit me..and Hit me
and then,
I woke up again
but again it hit me
it came from the sides i always expected
then again I woke up
it hit me
from the places i thought I already saw
then again i woke up and it hit me
from places I never knew existed
now when I wake up..
I am not sure..should i?

When the umbrella is gone
And so it poured ,
Like heavens had given up,
Like it was the end.
The thunder was deafening,
like it wanted to say something,
or prevent something being said.
There was a time I loved the rain,
I danced , I jumped and thumped my chest
But now
I walked slowly,
Clutching the last hope,
Maybe I am drowning.
Maybe , Maybe is the wrong word,
because I know exactly,
The rain hurts when the umbrella is gone.

Does it matter?
How long you live
How well you live
does it matter?
How hard you try
How bad you fail
does it matter?
How high you go
How nice it feels
does it matter?
How hard you fought
How fair you were
does it matter?
The choices you make
You think you brood
does it matter?
There is a small box
or a pyre waiting for you
the nothingness
but
does it matter?

Poet Lemon Andersen
Found another poet par excellence, when he recites he not only gives poem a musical touch but also involves his whole body in the process.
His motto is pretty similar to mine, I want to bring poetry to everyone , he wants to make people who hate poetry to love him.
If people love him ,they by extension will love his work which is poetry. Liked this thought….
here is a Ted talk by him..
Recently I shared a list of some of the best poets and poetry performances available on youtube.Music and poetry are not very separate from each other so it would be apt to follow it with some of the best lyrical and beautiful songs (My ratings). These songs have a meaning and a mesmerizing quality that makes them linger in your head for a very long time
So here is a list of some of my favorite songs, yes there are many more which I will share later.
PS:All english songs in this edition
TOP SONGS on Youtube
5: Goodbye my lover:
Agreed it is a heart breaking song but man, is it beautiful? .The best way to enjoy is to listen to the live version.Live versions tend to me more soulful and heart touching. James blunt sings accompanied only with a piano and that leads it a sense of simplicity. Beautiful lyrics and beautiful music
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I’m asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I’m kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

4: Fix You:Coldplay
I should not be saying much about this song, it just grows on you.Just listen to not just the music but the lyrics,
first para:I suggest you give it a full listen
When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverseAnd the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

3:Say what you need to say
I think the title of this song by John Mayers explains everything.

2:Nightingale by Norah Jones
Norah jones possibly has one of the most soothing voices present..

1:Fireflies by Owl City
If I were given an option to wish “I wish that this song was composed by me”, I would select this song without a thought.It is so amazing, its talks about the natural inquisitiveness of a child mixed with a little nerdiness ,a perfect combination. I cannot tell you how much I Love this song, it has been my number 1 for ages

Presenting a poem by on of my readers Ankit Gupta
Hostel Life
Hostel life hai badi mast
Chuti waale din rehte hai sust
Subah 8 baje ke baad jagna
Phir college ke liye bhagna
Free lec. Me aakar room me sona
Ghar ki yaad me wo chup ke rona
Jaana wo lec. Me 20 minute baad
Padte to hai lekin rehta nahi yaad
Raat ko 2-3 baje ke baad sona
Phir sunder sunder sapno me khona
Corridor ki window se dikhta girls hostel
So, corridor me rehti hai hustle and bustle
Mess ki wo line bhool nahi sakta
Tumhare bin yaaron reh nahi sakta
Dosto ke saath mil baith kar khana
Phir mess se bahar aakar kehna-
Saala kya bakwaskhana bana tha
Karna wo warden ko raat ko tang
Hostel me padai lekin masti bhi sang
Khelna wo corridor me football
Upar se chillana goal goal
Heater pe raat ko magi banana
Doston ko raat ko coffee pilana
Sath baithkar assignment banana
End time pe submit karwana
Paper se pehli raat ko sona
Exam ke sath sapne me khona
Padne likhne ka yahan naam nahi
Masti ke siva koi kaam nahi
Exams ki chinta satati nahi
Girlfriend ki yaad me neend aati nahi
Exam times me notes maangna
Syllabus pe kewal ek najar maarna
Karna wo raat ko girlfriend se baatein
Satai hai raat ko uski yaadein
Room me hoti hai yaaron ki mehfil
Jinke sath hum yaaron jaate hai ghul-mil
Dhona wo kapde chuti waale din
Kaise reh paaunga mai tumhare bin
Room ki safai,sang me padai
Mess me jaate hi ghar ki yaad satai
Lena wo doston se study me madad
Dost koi ruthe to hota hai dard
Room me baithkar carrom khelna
Raani ke piche sankat jhelna
Bhejna wo sms dosto ki band bajana
Ruthe hue dosto ko sms se manana
New year celebration bhool nahi sakta
Without masti yahan koi reh nahi sakta
Dekhna wo raat ko lappy pe filmey
Gungunana raat ko corridor me nagmey
Hostel ki party bhuli nahi jayegi
Sach me yarro tumhari badi yaad aayegi
Karta hu rab se ek hi dua
Hum na ho yarro kabhi bhi juda
