Poetry || Dr Kumar Vishwas

I was always fond of poetry. I preferred Hindi poetry over English (though I know that many people would be surprised to hear this), because Hindi was my language and I could really feel the poetry every time. But as happens in our 'busy' life and race for success, Hindi poetry's charm faded off.

And then, suddenly one day, I heard "Koi Deewana Kehta Hai ... " by Dr Kumar Vishwas. Hearing it, I knew in an instant that my trigger for Hindi poetry will be back and my urge would be satisfied if I listen to this guy. And mind you, if I 'listen' and not just read. It is human psychology that we tend to remember those things more that we hear, in comparison to those that we read. Besides, Dr Vishwas, in my opinion, is a brilliant orator. 

Watching one of his videos on youtube, I couldn't resist but make a note of a couple of his proses:

Na paane ki khushi hai kuch, na khone ka hi kuch gham hai

Yeh daulat aur shohrat sirf kuch zakhmo ka marham hai

Ajab si kashmakash hai roz jeene, roz marne mein

Mukammal zindagi to hai, magar poori se kuch kam hai

Badalne ko to in aankhon ke manzar kam nahin badle

Tumhaari yaad ke mausam hamare gham nahin badle

Tum agle janam mein humse milogi tab to manogi

Zamane aur sadi ki is badal mein hum nahin badle

Koi khamosh hai itna, bahane bhool aaya hoon

Kisi ki ek tarannum mein taraane bhool aaya hoon

Meri ab raah mat takna kabhi ae aasmaan walon

Main ek chidiya ki aankhon mein udaane bhool aaya hoon

Pukare aankh mein chadhkar to khoon ko khoon samajhta hai

Andhera Kis ko kehte hain ye bas jugnu samajhta hai

Humein to chaand taaron mein bhi tera roop dikhta hai

Mohabbat mein numayish ko adayein tu samajhta hai

During his programme, he quoted Tanveer:

Meri aankhon mein mohabbat ki chamak aaj bhi hai

Halaki usko mere pyaar pe shak aaj bhi hai

Naav mein baithkar dhoye the haath usne kabhi

Poore talab mein mehendi ki mehak aaj bhi hai

(Full poem is here)

I also agree with what he said - 

Kisi ko dekhne ke liye ek pal kaafi hai

Use pasand karne ke liye ek din kaafi hai

Use janne ke liye ek saal kaafi hai

Par us ek chehre ko bhoolne ke liye ek zindagi chhoti hai
