जबसे उनसे मुहब्बत हो गई है

While rummaging through my old books today, I found another composition of mine written about a year ago.
As I would be celebrating my fiftieth birthday in the next month of August, I have today written the last stanza of the composition and made it मुकम्मल (complete).

Hope you like it.

(1) जब से उनसे मुहब्बत हो गई है
यह फिज़ा नई नई सी हो गई है

(2) गोरे रुख़सार पे सियह ज़ुल्फें
कड़कती धूप में रात हो गई है

(3) उम्मीदों, जुस्तुजूों से जुदा होकर
आसान राह-ए-मंजिल हो गई है

(4) किससे गिला रखें, क्यों रखें
जब किस्मत ही बाग़ी हो गई है

(5) दिल में ख़लिश है ना दिन की तपिश
यकीनन जिंदगी की शाम हो गई है

Meaning of Urdu words :
फिज़ा : the whole environment, milieu, रुख़सार : cheeks, सियह : dark black, जुस्तुजू : desires, गिला : blame, बाग़ी :rebel, ख़लिश : pain in the heart due to unrequited love, तपिश : heat, यकीनन :certainly

Translation :
(1) As I have fallen in love with her, my whole perspective has changed. The whole milieu now looks fresh, new to me.

(2) Jet black hair have fallen on her fair cheeks. It appears as though dark night and scorching afternoon are placed side by side.

(3) I have abandoned all desires, expectations from everyone. Now the path to my destination has become smooth.

(4) There is no use to blame others for one's misfortunes. The fact is that one's destiny is not on one's side.

(5) There is no more heat of afternoon. Also I no longer feel pain in my heart due to unrequited love. Certainly, the evening of my life has set in.

The Mystery Behind The Cycle Of Birth And Death.

With the killing of his son Abhimanyu by Kauravas in the great war of Mahabharata, Arjuna started crying inconsolably, went in a deep grief. At that juncture, Lord Krishna revealed to Arjuna the mystery of the cycle of birth and death. In "Sri Bhagavad Gita", Lord Krishna sermonized Arjuna : "Dear Arjuna, souls are unborn, indestructible. Just as one throws away one's old, tattered clothes and wears new clothes, likewise, souls take on new bodies whenever the existing bodies become unfit due to illnesses, old age, wear and tear. Relations exist as long as bodies exist! They change with new bodies. Both you and Abhimanyu have taken umpteen births before. In one of his previous births, Abhimanyu was your friend while in another you were his son! There is no use grieving over the body, made up of five elements (पंच-भूत) namely the fire, earth water, wind and ether as the body is destructible, bound to become a heap of dust - sooner or later".

Don't Suppress Your Emotions

I believe that most of the modern diseases like depression, hypertension have their genesis in suppressed emotions. I have come to realize that one must declare one's love to one's beloved at all costs. This way one can surely live an anxiety free life and remain as light as a feather. "Woh mile ya na mile, hatthh toh badakar dekho." My first crush was a Russian aircraft engineer, when I was about 21 years old. She was deputed to give instructions to officers, at 3BRD Air Force Station, with regard to the repair and maintenance of MIG 21s-- Russian fighter aircrafts. We interacted a lot, jogged together. Unfortunately I was not able to reveal my fondness for her. As my friends want me to write something romantic, this composition of mine is for my long lost beautiful, sagacious Russian friend. By thinking about you day in, day out. Things have turned around, no doubt. A lover has changed into your devout! Secretly I fancy you, admire your visage nice. F
