Ikaala

Hi

Posting one more poem of mine. Actually even I do not know why I have chosen to write about this topic. This is about a person who has lost every relation in his life and he realises that he is again alone in this life journey. I have been gifted with a brilliant family and wonderful friends. But I do not know why this poem of being alone in life came to my mind. Probably this is an attempt from my side to analyse that how much each relation is important and how we should not miss any opportunity to enjoy each one before it is too late.

----------------------IKAALA------------------------------
Haan haan ikaala mein,

Duniya di bheed vich,

Zindagi di lakeer vich,

Ikaala khada jhala mein,

Haan haan ikaala mein,

Pehla rishta maan naal judeya,Jeho jeha nahin koi mileya,

Maa diya pyaariyan gallan de naal bachpan saada pura khileya,

Bina sharat ton pyaar dena, kise taran da dhokha nahin,

Sach hai yaaro asi vi maneya, maa hona koi saukha nahin,

Par ik din maa vi chali gayi, ikaala chad jahan vich,

Phir asin ikaale ho gaye zindagi vale dhan vich,

Maa de gaye te eyon lageya ungli ton laaya chala haan,

Ikaala khada jhala mein,

Haan haan ikaala mein,

Duja rishta baap naal mileya, jis ne mauj si badi karayi,

Baap di pyaari chaan de thale kade nahin si fikar koi aayi,

Baap diyan jhidkaan de vich vi saade layi ik fikar si,

Har vele uhnan de muh te bas saada hi zikar si,

Par ik din oh vi chad gaye asaanu,

Pata nahin rab e karda kahnu,

Bap de yaad de eh jhole hun kehde paase ghalan mein,

Ikaala khada jhala mein,

Haan haan ikaala mein,

Phir ik din si bhain mili, Jihde naal si jindagi khili,

Bachpan diyan khedan vich, Jawani diyan paredan vich,Har vele naal khadi mili,

Phir ik din bhain di vi hoyi vidaayi hai,

Fir yaad aaya mana dhee taan paraai hai,

Bhen di vidaayi samjha gayi e ke kinna haan jhala mein,

Ikaala khada jhala mein,

Haan haan ikaala mein,

Phir ik veer vi mil gaya, Jehda paateyaan nu vi sil gaya,

Ki dasiye dohan bachpan de vich kina laya nazaara hai,

Lagda si mein ohda te bas ohi mera sahara hai,

Par aj saada us veer ton vi kinaara hai,

Kyonki saade dohan de vich hoya batwara hai,

Samajh ni aundi saade vich kiven doori pai gayee,

Lagda jini piti si saari di saari leh gayee,

Hun taan lagda saadi zindagi chon veer vi chala hai,

Ikaala khada jhala mein,

Haan haan ikaala mein,

Phir ik humsafar mil gaya,Eyon laga chale nu chala mil gaya,

Us nu mil ke asi kar laye kayi janman de vaade si,

Par pata nahin si rab de taan kuch hor hi iraade si,

Oh taan pehle hi chali gayee tod ke sab kasman,

Saanu ikatha naa kar sakiyan duniya diyaan sab rasman,

Apne sajan di yaad ch, hun kisda fadan palla mein,

Ikaala khada jhala mein,

Haan haan ikaala mein,

Ik mile si bache saanu,Jo si rab da roop jeha lage,

Jihnan diyaan moh diyaan tanda vich asi gaye si pure thage,

Aapnan aap vaar ke bacheyan nu vade banaya,

Par vade ho ke bacheyan ne na saade naal dil ralaya,

Aj oh aapni zindagi vich mast hai,

Par usda baapu past hai,

Hun taan haan anngoleyan jeha challa mein,

Ikaala khada jhala mein,

Haan haan ikaala mein,

Chad dila eh saare chakkar bada ajeeb hai,

Shayad injh ikaale rehna hi teri zindagi da naseeb hai,

Mareyaan naal na koyi marda, eh pahada tu rati jaa,

Jeho jeha rab namak khawave, tu bina gila bas chati jaa,

Jehde haal vich sai rakhe,Tu chup chaap bas kati jaa,

Tu chup chaap bas kati jaa,

Tu chup chaap bas kati jaa,

Vichoda

Hi again,
This one is again one of my small poems.The poem's name is "Vichoda". And it is about those feelings when someone very close of us departs from this world. I have seen some of these departures in my life of some dear ones and have seen that how badly it effects but still probably this is done by god in order to teach us a lesson. The lesson that "As we entered this world with nothing, we are destined to leave this world with nothing". So what to worry for???

----------------------VICHODA--------------
Vaise taan ne dukh bade chandre jahaan wich,
Dukhan sukhaan naal bane jindagi de dhaan wich,
Par ik dukh jehda vaje vang kode de,
Bade maade dukh ne sajna vichode de,

Jiven kise machi kolon paani khoh leya hove,
Jiven kise panchi kolon haani khoh leya hove,
Injh lage jiven ke naseeb so gaya hove,
Jiven baazi haari chatranj vale mohre ne,
Bade maade dukh ne sajna vichode de,

Baar baar fir yaaro sajnan di yaad aaye,
Ohdi pyaari yaad akhan wich hanju layee aave,
Fir taan har cheej bas ose di kahaani bole,
Mano jaan na mano phir tasvir vi purani bole,
Phir nikalde ohdi yaad vich nihore ne,
Bade maade dukh ne sajna vichode de,

Fir hauli hauli banda zindagi ch ram jaanda,
Fir yaaro sabh kuch jitan lai jam jaanda,
Bhul jaanda sabh kuch jis nu yaad kita si,
Jihdi yaad wich ghut hijran daa peeta si,
Chad dila tere lai na kise ne vi rona hai,
Eh pakhand taan bas char din hona hai,
Agge kehda jindagi de dukh bade thaude ne,
Bade maade dukh ne sajna vichode de,

Rab di vee yaaro eh reet badi nayaari hai,
Ohi cheez khoh lenda jo sabh ton pyaari hai,
Lagda oh dasda ke har cheez parayi hai,
Jihnu kahen aapne tu oh teinu chad jaayegi,
Man yaan na man maut teri vi jaroor aayegi,
Sachi eh jindagi de sach bade khaure ne,
Soch soch asi vi likhde haan kaagaj kore te,
Bade maade dukh ne sajna vichode de,
Bade maade dukh ne sajna vichode de,
Bade maade dukh ne sajna vichode de,

SAI

Hi,
This time I again thought to write about an Artist. There are some things which you observe in your life and you say "WOW". This is one of that kind for me. I come to know about this artist from my SUCHI DIDI(A big thanks to her). She recommended me to watch one of his video. And then I became a big fan of this guy. The guy is "Satinder Sartaaj", a new punjabi sufi singer. Though not much known till now, but surely a big artist of future.First let me tell you about his life:

Satinder Sartaaj born at village Bajrawar, distt. Hoshiarpur (Punjab eastern). His Schooling was from his own village and nearby villages Chabbewal & Patti. He started performing at the Bal-Sabhas when was in Class 3rd. After that he join graduation at Govt. college, Hoshiarpur with Music Honours. Side by side he join Sangeet Visharad, a five year diploma in classical music from Jallandhar. After completing his Graduation and Diploma Satinder went to Panjab University Campus at Chandigarh for Masters in Music. He has done M.Phil. and Ph.D. with the Specialisation of Sufi Music.During this time he started writing Poetry and make his poetic name SARTAAJ. Now Dr. Satinder Sartaaj is Teaching at the Deptt. of Music, Panjab University Chandigarh from last six years. A lover of nature,Sartaaj has dedicated several of his compositions to Nature because from the beginning he was drawn the beauty and fragrance of flowers, rainbows, tranquil flow of the water creating rhythmic pattern.Once you listen to him you will feel that The pure magic of simplicity, his command on poetry , the tonal beauty of his voice, mesmerizing is like a clear water stream going down the hill. Simple is always beautiful. But to be so simple and honest, lots of hard work behind it.He is already a big name in his field and has won many awards. No doubt he is named as "Waris Shah of today". He is a man who will definitely reach the unreachable heights soon. I wish he gets all the success in his life.

And now about one of his album named "Mehfil-e-Sartaaj". It has 8 tracks and each track is so pure that you will love to listen it again and again.
1.Ammi- This one is a beautiful song about mother and her love for her children. Sartaaj has sung it in a beautifal way.
"Duniya te sukh sabar shanti taan hai,` kyonki sabna kol amuli maa hai,
taap chade sir pattiyan kardi ammi hai, dukh saade lekhan de jardi ammi hai"
2.Dil- This one is also very beautiful where Sartaj compares the life of childhood and now. Very well written.
"Kade piplan de pateyaan di pipni banauni,
Kade khad darwazen di dholki vajauni,
Hun nagma sarangiyaan da shor ho gaya,
Dil pehlan jeha nahin reha eh kathor ho gaya,
Take duniya de rang thoda hor ho gaya"
3.Je Koi- This is a different style of song. A little fast paced and this proves that how good Sartaaj is in his singing and again mind blowing lyrics.
"Shayari da ghar door Satindra, Gayaki otho dooni,
Lale dhuuni je manjil chooni,
Kidan geet likhenga gaggar lafazan vaali ooni, Pyaar vihuuni,soch alooni,
Hun tu aape das ke kidan paaloo khichke bhangra banda langra,
Lokan nu ki devega khud hi jehda mangra"
4.Mann Kun To- One more beautiful song. Again good lyrics and brilliant singing. This song has a real spiritual touch.
"Kaazi soyee jo shara vich hoye kayaam,
Te gayak soi jo gale wich taan hove,
Shuru soi jo Rab da naam hove,
Te khatam soi jo naal imaan hove"
5.Motiya- This song proves that how good Satinder knows about Punjabi Culture. It has names of almost all the flowers. Many lines are brilliantly written like-
"Kankan de sitteyan de banuge clip, mein udikda sunehari kadon hunde ni" or
"Jaana paina fir sanu Malwe de val,ke Duabe vich Ful nahin pakaide"
6.Paani- This is again good song about the change which comes when one moves from village to City. This song has sweet memories of Punjabi Villages
"Yaad rakhda Vaisakhi ohne vekhaya hunda je, Rang Kankan da hare ton sunehari ho gaya, Paani panjan Dariyaavan wali vairi ho gaya, Munda pind da si shehar jaa ke shehari ho gaya"
7. Sai- And now the best song of this album. Starting with one of Baint of Waris Shah the song takes you to other world. Each line has a very special meaning. Excellent Song. A must listen.
8. Vekhan Ge- This song is my second favourite song. It feels very close to my own life. It looks like Satinder is chatting with your heart.
"Bade chir to khande dhabe di, Ghare fulka foloo vekhange,
Aje ghada akal da oona hai, Jad bhar ke dullu vekhange"
At end I will only say that this album and this artist is a must listen. Please listen him once and I promise you, you will love to listen him again and again.

Meinu samajh naa aaye

Hi
Today posting my second poem named SAMAJH.This is a poem I have written from my own experiences.This is just my attempt to understand this so called "DUNIYA".But my attempts fail and I have to accept what Gurdas Maan Sir said in one of his songs:
"Sadh naal ki tenu chor na kee, Beh ke aapni naber tenu hor naal kee"
Frankly speaking this one was not much appreciated by my friends. May be because I somewhere failed to find proper words but I personally like it.
Please read it and give your suggestions because I need to improve.

---------------------SAMAJH--------------------
Meinu samajh naa aaye is duniya di samajh naa aaye,
Koi akhe Khuda mano,Koi kahe Ram-Ram,
Koi kahe hai Isa vada,Koi kahe Nanak da dham,
Je har dharam di eh sikh hai,
Ke rab sirf ik hai,
Phir kyon dilan ch eh fik hai,
Kyon rab de naa te aj kise da ghar fookeya jaave,
Meinu samajh naa aaye is duniya di samajh naa aaye,

Koi akhe sab hai moh-maaya,Koi akhe sab hai paraya,
Fir kyon hai is paise ne,aj sabh da hosh bhulaeya,
Je hai har koi jaanda kai paisa naal nahin jaana,
Jadon jaana is duniya ton bas khali hath hi jaana,
Fir kyon eh paisa aj sabh nu hai bharmave,
Meinu samajh naa aaye is duniya di samajh naa aaye,

Koi akhe kisan ucha jo duniya nu khawawe,
Koi kahe javaan he ucha jo saadi jaan bachave,
Koi taan "Jai Jawan Jai Kisan" da naara lave,
Phir kyon aj sabh ton jyaada kisan hi marda jaave,
Kyon ik javaan aapni kismat te pachtawe,
Eh kaisa insaaf hai koi taan meinu samjhave,
Meinu samajh naa aaye is duniya di samajh naa aaye,

Chad dila duniya di taan ehi hi kahaani hai,
Jithe jag muhre aaun ton darde ne,
Asal wich othe hi aani jaani hai,
Karna tu vee kuch nahin bas likhan hi joga hai,
Asal wich tu vi paaya jhuth wala choga hai,A
sal wich taan mera dil vi hai darda jaave,
Bhagat Singh aave aave,par mere ghar naa aave,
Meinu samajh naa aaye is duniya di samajh naa aaye,
Meinu samajh naa aaye is duniya di samajh naa aaye,
Meinu samajh naa aaye is duniya di samajh naa aaye

Kailasa

Hi,
Well another one. This time it is not my poem.I thought to write about one of my favourite personality and his new creation. It is about a brilliant singer and his album. The singer is Kailash Kher and his album "Kailasa Chandan Mein".

First about Kailash Kher:
I am his fan from his first hit "Allah ke bande"and now he’s almost everywhere, Whether it is Bollywood, advertising jingles, or his band ‘Kailasaa’. I feel his voice is the kind that touches souls. No wonder some says, ‘It’s the soul of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the voice of Kailash Kher.’ He was born in Meerut, lived his childhood in Delhi and set foot into the world of music at the age of twelve when he started learning Indian classical music. Before music, he tried his luck at business, but a couple of depressing, unsuccessful attempts took him to Southeast Asia for two years. Thereafter, he decided to move to Mumbai. He won his first advertising jingle for Nakshatra followed by several others like Hero Cycles and Chevrolet. It was all the way up from there and he finally bagged a Bollywood number ‘Rabba ishq na hove’ from the movie ‘Andaaz.’ Well, so far so good. But, it was not until the revolutionary hit ‘Allah ke Bande’ around end 2002 that he came to be as popular as he is today.

And now what I love about this guy is his simplicity.Surprisingly, unlike the typical present day celebrity, Kher leads a rather passive, non-fancy life. He follows a controlled form of life- no eating outside, no smoking, no drinking, no dope and conserving internal energy by speaking only when he’s spoken to. Coming from a middle class family, having no intentions of having the riches, he intends on letting his success not affect him or his work. God bless him.

And now about his new album "Kailasa Chaandan Mein":
Before this review, I must tell that I do not even know "m" of music. I am just a listener who loves brilliant lyrics. So please do not mind if I say something wrong. Comin back KAILASA is actually the band which comprises Kailash Kher and brothers Paresh and Naresh Kamath, has already proved themselves with there previous albums "Kailasa" and "Kailasa Jhoomo Re". And it doesn't disappoint in "Chaandan Mein" either - the music is soulful and soaked in folk influences, the lyrics are brilliant and Kailash Kher's voice is awesome as always.
1. The album starts with "Chaandan Mein", a soft and slow-paced track with a folk setting that gives a pleasant feel. Its brilliant video is also running on many channels.
2. Up next is a totally opposite, fun track titled "Na batati tu" that looks like a fusion of Indian and western arrangements, is high on energy and brilliantly sung by Kher. The song has a beautiful ending.
3. Then comes "Teri yaad mein" which is a beautiful number and creates a completely different mood. The steady pace of the song and the good lyrics make it an interesting hear.
4. Next in line is "Bheeg gaya mera mann", a song meant for the monsoons.
5. "Ishq ho gaya" is another brilliant song in the album that expresses the despair of a woman who has fallen in love.
6. Another song with an earthy flavour is "Piya ghar aavenge".Again a lady welcoming his love. BRILLIANT LYRICS once again
7. Next on the playlist is "Rang rangma". It again looks like a fusion. The song is not as interesting as the others in the album but still good one.
8. And now my favourite track in the album is "Kar kar mein haara". The song has great lyrics. And I love the way it starts with lines: "Yu to teri yaad mein bhi savaad hai tera,Par aankhon ko manaoon kis tarah, Hothon ki majaal ke kahaan kuch kahen,Par Dil ko main samjhaoon kis tarah."
9. Along with these tracks, the album also has two equally nice bonus tracks from the band's previous albums - "Albela saajan" from "Kailasa" and "Tere naina" from "Kailasa Jhoomo Re"

All in all I have loved this album. Hope you all will also enjoy it.
