Yesterday I met a girl. A dusky girl, tall, dressed in violet and moving all around swiftly and with grace. Her face was not fair but looked so radiant, I was entranced. The colour of the dress suited her so well. (To set the record straight, I have no fancy for extremely fair girls and prefer the 'namak' on face)
I couldn't recall what was particularly special in her looks but then the whole wujood brought such warmth. Ajeeb si mas'hoorkun khushboo thee chahaar-jaanib uske.
Mercurial, Seemab-sifat as we say in Urdu, she was everywhere almost floating in air, lyrically. Woh udtee rahi, so enthusiastic she was about the smallest things that I was left in a daze. As the veteran poets say.....Dil chahta hai kya kya kuchh! Bataiye usko abhi shaadki karne ki kya zaroorat thee. Uska woh mardood bhi that wahan. Hopefully they don't blog.
Sometime you feel that where are all those beautiful girls who attracted you in your teenage or when you are teetering on verge of adulthood...woh ladkiyan jo fauran wujood par chhaa jatee theen....aur bohot der tak...halki baarish ka ehsaas hota tha....ab to jaise sab ladkiyan ek jaisee hone lagee hain....ek jaise naqsh, ek hi jaise kapde jeans top aur wohi husn....na woh sabaahat, na malaahat, na namak, na hashr-samaaniyan....all alike...magar aaiee woh shola-e-jawala aur mujhe wapas woh ehsaas hua...While she set me ablaze with her looks, simultaneoulsy shabnam fell on me in the form of her voice and khiraamaN-khiraamaN chaal...Maan gaye...Duniya se husn unqa nahin hua.. Falling in love is different yet the joy of discovering beauty that overwhelms you and takes all your senses under control is truly amazing. And this serendipity of finding a girl at a place you never expect!
Beshak hamari beenai mein hee kuchh kamee hai
Warna ladkee to ek se ek is dunia mein padee hai :)
Dil to chaahta hai jazbat ko bayan kiya jaye ruswa-e-zaman shaayar marhoom Fazal Tabish ke alfaaz mein lekin 'shareef' log bhi blog padhte hain, kahin achhut qaraar na de diya jaaon, is se darta hun.

Well well a very out of character post.
But as they say you cant guard against love.
But that itself is the question??
Whether this was love or lust or a crush or just a single moments unique reaction.
Some time back people wrote poetry about their love.
Now most post it on a blog.
Anyway nice post.
the topic has larger potential though.
Anyway khudahafiz
okay in retrospective....
Too many "Anyways"
True...good observation
"Sometime you feel that where are all those beautiful girls who attracted you in your teenage ..."

Thanks Amit bhai ;)
I think the sher ought to have been
Aag ka kyaa hai, pal do pal mein lagti hain,
Bujhte bujhte ek zamaana lagta hai.
Its my favourite one.
Nice one ashraf :) ....n poor fair girls indscribe ;) nice post :)
Thanks Monica
Bahut khoob, This seems to come out naturally and completely off-guard.
An off-beat post to this Blog but it finds resonation in so many readers. Am one of those , too.
