Sheyar from Zafarnama

ਚੁ ਕਾਰ ਅਜ਼ ਹਮਹ ਹੀਲਤੇ ਦਰ ਗੁਜ਼ਸ਼ਤ ॥ ਹਲਾਲ ਅਸਤ ਬੁਰਦਨ ਬ ਸ਼ਮਸ਼ੀਰ ਦਸਤ ॥

CHU KAR AZ HAMEH HEEL-TE DAR GUZASHT, HALAL AST BURDAN B-SHAMSHIR DAST ॥

When all the stratagem employed for (solving) an affair or ... problem are exhausted,(only) then taking your hand to the sword is legitimate.

This is a Sheyar from the Zafarnama written by Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji to Emperor Aurangzeb.

Punjabi Shayari - ਓਹਨਾਂ ਸਾਡੇ ਪੱਥਰ ਵੀ ਜਦ ਮਾਰਿਆ ਅਸਾਂ ਨੇ ਸਾਂਭ ਲਿਆ

Some more shayari which I have found and is worth sharing.

ਓਹਨਾਂ ਸਾਡੇ ਪੱਥਰ ਵੀ ਜਦ ਮਾਰਿਆ ਅਸਾਂ ਨੇ ਸਾਂਭ ਲਿਆ,
ਸਾਡਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਫੁੱਲ ਵੀ ਓਹ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਰੋਲ਼ਦੇ ਰਹੇ।
ਅਸੀਂ ਓਹਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਬੋਲਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੌਗ਼ਾਤ ਸਮਝ ਕੇ ਚੁਣਦੇ ਰਹੇ,
ਹਰ ਸੌਗ਼ਾਤ ਓਹ ਸਾਡੀ ਨੂੰ ਬਸ ਚੰਦ ਸਿੱਕਿਆਂ ਨਾਲ਼ ਤੋਲਦੇ ਰਹੇ।
ਸੱਦਿਆ ਸੀ ਓਹਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸਭ ਗੁੱਸੇ ਗਿਲੇ ਮਿਟਾਵਣ ਲਈ,
ਪਰ ਕੁਝ ਐਸਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਕਿ ਅਸੀਂ ਸੁਣਦੇ ਰਹੇ ਓਹ ਬੋਲਦੇ ਰਹੇ।
ਅਸੀਂ ਹਰ ਇੱਕ ਸ਼ੈਅ ਜੋ ਓਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਨੂੰ ਰੱਬ ਵਾਂਗਰਾਂ ਪੂਜਦੇ ਰਹੇ,
ਓਹ ਹਰ ਇੱਕ ਸ਼ੈਅ ਜੋ ਸਾਡੀ ਸੀ, ਨੂੰ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਹੇਠ ਮਧੇਲ਼ਦੇ ਰਹੇ।
ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਸਾਡੇ ਦਿਲ ਸ਼ੀਸ਼ੇ ਨੂੰ ਓਹਨਾਂ ਟੁਕੜੇ ਟੁਕੜੇ ਕਰ ਸੁੱਟਿਆ,
ਫਿਰ ਟੁੱਟੇ ਹੇਏ ਟੁਕੜਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਓਹ ਪੋਟਿਆਂ ਨਾਲ਼ ਫਰੋਲ਼ਦੇ ਰਹੇ।

Punjabi Shayari - ਚੁੱਲ੍ਹਾ ਛੜਿਆਂ ਦਾ

This Shayari has been contributed from the forum www.nann.info. Visit it for many more such shayaris. This can be used as a Punjabi Shayari, Punjabi Lyrics or to recite in a mehfil.

ਕੁਆਰਾ ਬੰਦਾ ਨਾਅਰ ਦੇ ਦੀਦਾਰ ਲਈ ਮਰਦਾ
ਵਿਆਹੇ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਆਣਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਭਾਰ ਤੰਗ ਕਰਦਾ
ਜੁਆਨੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਸ਼ਕੇ ਤੋਂ ਭਾਗਾਂ ਵਾਲਾ ਬੱਚਦਾ
ਚੁੱਲ੍ਹਾ ਛੜਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਬੁੱਝ ਬੁੱਝ ਕੇ ਹੀ ਮੱਚਦਾ

ਗੱਭਰੂ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਣ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਡੌਲਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਜ਼ੋਰ ਦਾ
ਰੱਬ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਜੱਟ ਨੂੰ ਭਰੋਸਾ ੧੨ (ਬਾਰਾਂ) ਬੋਰ ਦਾ
ਕੈਪਟਨ ਅੱਖਵਾਊਂਦਾ ਜੇਹੜਾ ਭੰਗੜੇ 'ਚ ਜੱਚਦਾ
ਚੁੱਲ੍ਹਾ ਛੜਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਬੁੱਝ ਬੁੱਝ ਕੇ ਹੀ ਮੱਚਦਾ

ਤੋਰ ਤੋਂ ਪਛਾਣ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਗਿੱਧਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਰਾਣੀ ਦੀ
ਆਕੜਾਂ ਦੀ ਭਰੀ ਲੋਕੋ ਟਿੱਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਣੀਦੀ
ਤੁਰਦੀ ਦਾ ਘੱਗਰਾ ਵੀ ਨਾਲ ਨਾਲ ਨੱਚਦਾ
ਚੁੱਲ੍ਹਾ ਛੜਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਬੁੱਝ ਬੁੱਝ ਕੇ ਹੀ ਮੱਚਦਾ

ਵਿਹਲੜਾਂ ਬੇਕਾਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਨਾ ਬਾਤ ਕੋਈ ਪੁੱਛਦਾ
ਅਣਖਾਂ ਸੁਆਲ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਵੈਲੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਮੁੱਛ ਦਾ
ਟੁੱਟ ਜਾਵੇ ਨਸ਼ਾ ਫ਼ੇਰ ਅਮਲੀ ਨਾ ਬੱਚਦਾ
ਚੁੱਲ੍ਹਾ ਛੜਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਬੁੱਝ ਬੁੱਝ ਕੇ ਹੀ ਮੱਚਦਾ

ਲਗਦੇ ਨੇ ਮੇਲੇ ਘੜੀ ਖੁਸ਼ੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਆਈ ਹੋਵੇ
ਕੱਠਿਆਂ ਨੇ ਬਹਿ ਕੇ ਕਿਤੇ ਮਹਿਫ਼ਲ ਸਜਾਈ ਹੋਵੇ
ਪੀਣ ਦਾ ਨਜ਼ਾਰਾ ਜੇ ਗਲਾਸ ਹੋਵੇ ਕੱਚ ਦਾ
ਚੁੱਲ੍ਹਾ ਛੜਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਬੁੱਝ ਬੁੱਝ ਕੇ ਹੀ ਮੱਚਦਾ

Will come up with more.

Punjabi Shayari - Manmohan Waris

I am posting another shayari written by Mangal Hathur & sung by Punjabi Star voice Manmohan Waris.

Pyar oh jo roohan de tak guzrey,
tak k pyar jatauna koi pyar nahi,
dilaan vich je faasle je reh javan,
sajan gall naal launa koi pyar nahi,
jeondey yaar de dil nu dukh deke,
pichey kabar te aauna koi pyar nahi.

Tera pyar kadakdi dhup,
samey de naal hi dhall geya ve,
toon ki jaaney iss dhupey,
sadda ki ki jall geya ve.

Enna pyar naa saanu kar adiye,
ban peed aakhan vich radkaan gey,
haar saah te likheya tera naam jau,
tere dil vich mud mud dhadkan gey.

Iss ishq ch mil jau khushi koi,
iss gall daa naa itbaar karey,
kithey taak koi bhaj lauga,
ennan sutteyan te v baar karey.

Sach jhooth di parakh bhula ditti,
bereham bedardan duniya ne,
har rishetey de vich farak peya,
assi mud mud neetan punneeyan ne.

Lokki dillan de kujh kamzor ho gaye,
te gall mooh te karan daa haunsla naa,
bedi hovey te aaun bin saddeyan hee,
ae par kacheyan te taran daa haunsla naa,
ghare kisey daa fook k khush hundey,
vasdey hoyan nu zaran daa haunsla naa,
hanju dolney Mangal ne bandh kartey,
pathar dilaan te varan daa haunsla naa.

Thats all for now will come up with more soon.

Sajjan Hundey Nashea Warge ...

As is it goes "Dil ch vasa k dil chon kadhney saukhe nahi, Sajjan hundey nasheyan warge chadney saukhe nahi" ... so some lines for those moments ... call it tutey dil de tukde ... sher-o-shayari in Punjabi ...


ਓਹਦੇ ਵਿਛੋੜੇ ਨੇ ਲਾਈ ਪੀੜ ਐਸੀ, ਜਿਹੜੀ ਅਰਸੇ ਬਾਅਦ ਵੀ ਮੁਕਦੀ ਨਹੀਂ।
ਓਹਨੂੰ ਰੋਕਿਆ ਪਰ ਓਹ ਨਹੀਂ ਰੁਕੀ, ਜਿਵੇਂ ਮੁੱਠੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੇਤ ਕੱਦੇ ਰੁਕਦੀ ਨਹੀਂ।
ਓਹਦੇ ਦਿਲ ਦਿਆਂ ਰੱਬ ਕਰੇ ਪੂਰੀਆਂ ਹੌਣ, ਸਾਨੂੰ ਪਰਵਾਹ ਅਪਣੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਸੁੱਖ ਦੀ ਨਹੀਂ।
ਓਹਦੇ ਬਿਨਾ ਹੋ ਗਏ ਜਿੰਦਾ ਲਾਸ਼ ਵਰਗੇ, ਤੇ ਲਾਸ਼ ਦੀ ਕੱਦੇ ਕੋਈ ਰਗ ਦੁੱਖਦੀ ਨਹੀਂ।

Khata Ta Rabb Vi Maaf Kar Dinda,
Maaf Hundiyan Na Ruswaiyan Ne,
Zindagi Nalo Oh Maut Nu Pyar Karde,
Chottan Jihna Ne Dil Te Khaiyan Ne..

Usdi Goongi Tasveer Ton Ik Sawaal Pucheya,
Kiwe Bhul Gayo Sada Sacha Pyaar Pucheya,
Kade Aakhde Hunde Si Tere Bina Nai Sarna,
Ajj Sar Geya Kiwe Eho Bar-Bar Pucheya..



Collection from here 'n' there.

Congrats India !!

With Chandigarh lad Abhinav Bindra winning the gold medal in indiviual shooting event of 10M air rifle shooting event I guess the hopes for further medal for India will seriously increase and will push the other participants to go for the kill for now the big monkey is off from India's back of not having any medal till now. Some more medals and this Independance day might turn out to really happy one for India .. anyway for now congrats to all Indians and lets pray for some more !! Yippie ..

:)

Essence of Blogging !!

I am into third year of my blogging and this is apparantly the hundredth post I can surely say that I have enjoyed the journey for I only blogged when I felt like ... nothing by compulsion that somebody would be waiting for it. I would thank the readers like Rupinder Monga, Ranjit Kaur, Jaspal who really gave me some good Punjabi traditional songs, Cuckoo who tagged some of my posts ... (if she will read it) ... Jiwateshwar for discussing blog so much that I felt that if he is discussing so much then kuch toh hai !! Aalok for his support till he lost contact with the world some two months back and many others unnamed visitors. I have always feared being alone. So the worst I thought was that I would be only one visiting this and by somebody's will that didn't happen and adbrite website says that I daily get around 40 unique users to my blog. That's good enough although few more zeroes would be what I will not mind.

When I started blogging, long before Aamir Khan or Big B followed in my footsteps, my major purpose was to use this as a online diary then I found that I could express myself in a more concrete way and the way I have scanned some of the topics they brought clarity in my thoughts and I had a more structured discussions after that. For a person like me who never likes to do one thing for too long to write this blog was indeed an achievement. Some of my posts were really good and I can say with surety that they found there way to there intended readers without me promoting them. That is the power of quality writing. So have I read the relevant posts over a period of time. One real shortcoming with me is that whenever I read somebody's post I normally don't comment ... but somewhere I know & want to comment!! Any secret to add this quality although of late I have been trying this. Anyway thanks to all would be looking more and kindly come up with some suggestions to what I should do on this blog for I have loads of time these days.

Sachin Tendulkar: My reality check

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar: Indian Superhero. In my memory we (for that matter I) Indians have never revered any personality so much. I hated to love him and loved to hate him both at a time. He has gracefully carried over billion hopes in bitter sweet mode. He told us what a sporting hero is!! Kapil Dev comes to my mind immediately as National sporting hero but even his rise as a cult figure has been linked with India winning World Cup in 1983. But Sachin Tendulkar rose and shone irrespective of whether India won or lost. His record speaks for himself. List is long and unending if I start giving examples of his greatness but the foremost and only example I would like to quote is when another perfectionist Aamir Khan gave testimony in Sachin's favour on his blog in the post titled Sachin the Great. Aamir's word are italicised in blue. You will find this hard to believe but Sachin was able to predict every ball before it was bowled. “He is going to bowl a bouncer next”, “This one is going to be a slower one”, “Full tilt outside the off stump”, “Next one will be a yorker”, “Short of length”. It was uncanny. HE GOT IT RIGHT EACH TIME!!! No wonder its so difficult to bowl to him.

Sachin has gave us many a moment's to cheer and cherish. From dust storm in Sharjah to the two gem of match winning knocks in the finals of CB series via 2003 World Cup journey we relished his every shot. But the question is did he win enough matches for India and did justice to his talent? Time for you to answer.

The rise of Tendulkar gave rise to indiviual sporting heroes in our country. I have this feeling (can't say it authoritatively) that in team one team can only be champion when one player is not head & shoulders above the rest. If it was Sachin for India then Beckham was so for England. Even in Indian hockey when the team consisted of good players it became a great team by winning eight Olympic gold medals and when players like Dhanraj Pillay or Pargat singh rose above the team then the team plunged to some depths. Even in final of 1998 Soccer World Cup when the presence of Ronaldo was so overpowering that he was played despite him being not physically & mentally fit to play and result was the loss of Brazil. I firmly believe that when there is one star which is above everybody else in the team then somehow team is not motivated enough as will be a team where players are of same stature. So in my sense Tendulkar gave rise to a cult figure under whose weight the team spirit of other players was lost and they were not motivated enough or they didn't push themselves so much to win they were not under the scanner as was Sachin.

Anyway now Sachin is suffering from injury and will return in due time. But following the Indian ODI team in recent months I never felt that Sachin is being missed. Gambhir has filled the openers role at least on subcontinental pitches and he was also highly successful on Australian tour. Now in my opinion the role of Sachin should be and would be more of a mentor in the team where his experience should be passed onto Sharmas and Rainas for India's better future for his body is not in position to take the workload which the younger legs are taking nowadays after 19 years of relentless service to the game of cricket. Now the loss to Sri Lanka in Asia Cup final was more due to youthfulness of the team and that should have been mentored and I think Sachin was perfectly needed at that time atleast he could have told Sehwag for that matter whole team how to play a unknown quantity in thw world cricket for Sachin would have played loads of new bowlers(although mendis is a rarity).

My Heart's Voice: Being a Indian and A Tendulkar lover I would love that he should hang his boots in 2011 after winning the 2011 World Cup as a Player of Tournament.

Sports Unlimited !!

Last month (for cricket it's 24X7) or so have seen a loads of sporting activity and interestingly all sports have been of my liking from Euro '08 to Indian cricket & French Open as well as Wimbledon to F1. Strangely all the teams I supported have gone to the finals so a satisfying feel is there. In F1 I have been a big fan of Michael Schumacher's Ferrari from the days even when I didn't watch the F1. Now even though Schumi has left the scene but I still cheer for his Ferrari legacy. Now that Massa is leading the board as well as Ferrari is on top of teams leader board that is satisfying. Now I am awaiting the Sunday's showdown in Britain given that Massa crashed in the pre-race practice session. Moving over to Euro Germany has been my favourite from the earlier times I liked Germany for not so football reasons. My reason for their liking has been the spirit with which they rose after second world war disaster and another reason has been that East as well as West Germany crossed the Berlin wall and became a one country again(Pakis & Indians learn something .. at least we can live peacefully). This appreciation for them turned into my love for there sporting teams or personalities from there hockey to football teams and then to Schumacher and then tennis legends Steffi Graf (My favourite Men's tennis player has been Andre Agassi and Women's was Steffi Graf ... I always wanted them to be one even before they married and somehow by chance they married each other) & Boris Becker. Then in football I loved Oliver Kahn and now current favourite is Michael Ballack. I was saddened when they lost to Spain in the finals but that what is sports and even though Germany was not at its best in the Euro still they reached finals and I am proud of that as there staunch supporter. In tennis I dearly want Fedex to complete his Grand Slam by winning the French Open but I guess for the moment Rafa is the undisputed king of clay which was clear from his ruthless beating of Federer in the French Finale. Anyway cometh the Sunday and it is again Fedex VS Rafa and it is the Federer's part of season with Wimbledon title in the offing and US open title in the waiting. Women's part in Wimbledon is not on for me with Sharapova and Ivanovic both missing the finals. Ohh!! I am a Indian and it can't end without Cricket ... some call it our pseudo religion. The loss in the Kitply Cup Final when the Indian win was a foregone conclusion even in the minds of Pakistani Team was a rude shock but that is Indian Cricket team for you they will never win when you expect them to win surely. Now in the Asia Cup finale is on Sunday between India & Sri Lanka (we can't replace them with Pakistan ... can we go for sms poll?). Edge is squarely with Lankan tigers with Mendis playing as a unknown weapon and Jayasuriya-Sangakara duo in prime form(actually to me it looks age doesn't matter to Jayasuriya). I am firmly hoping that UV (Apna Yuvraj yaar) would fire big time in the final. Watch out!! So the build up to the Super Sunday has been quite phenomenal with my favourites India, Massa and Fedex all in the reckoning but with odds are stacked against all of them. I hope my support will turn the tables on them. After finishing this I will sit and prepare myself for Beijing '08 with a prayer for Tibetan cause. Am I sounding philanthropic ?? Don't say that I am serious. Com'on Sunday for now.
