hamse kahe kuch dost hamare

हमसे कहे कुछ दोस्त हमारे , मत लिखो,
जान अगर प्यारी है प्यारे, मत लिखो

हाकिम की तलवार मुकदस् होती है
हाकिम की तलवार के बारे , मत लिखो ,

बस वो लिखो जो अमीरे - शहर कहे ,
जो कहते है दर्द के मारे , मत लिखो ,

खुद मुन्सिफ़ पाबस्ता है लब-बस्ता है
कौन कहा अब अर्ज़ गुजरे, मत लिखों,

दिल कहता है , खुल कर सच्ची बात लिखो ,
और लफ्ज़ों के बीच सितारे , मत लिखो,

हमसे कहे कुछ दोस्त हमारे , मत लिखो,
जान अगर प्यारी है प्यारे, मत लिखो.....

Kapil's Unerstading : Sochta hu Agar mey Duaa mangta : Film Bobby Song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmeMg-gm1Us&feature=youtube_gdata_player



Believe me,
The couplet below has literally given me a clear perspective view ,
To decipher between a Tirthankar or a Marble Statue.
Like deciphering between a Murti & Pritama.
This is power of words by a
Word Smith called "Anand Bakshi" in film Bobby "mey shayar to nahi"
======================
Sochta hu
Agar mey Duaa mangta,
Haath aapne uthakar
mey kya mangta,
Jabse tujse
mohabbat mey karne laga,
Tabse jase ibaadat
mey karne laga,
Mey kafiir to nahi
Magar aye haseen,
Jab se dekha maine tujko
Mujko bandagi aa gayi.....
========================
The literally meaning :
I think, If I request God a "blessing",
With raised hands "What blessing would I ask"
The moment, I started admiring ( loving) you,
Its like admiring almighty,
I am not a infidel ( non believer of god)
But "the beautiful" The moment, I looked you,
I start Discovering God in mankind

The accurate meaning....
The poet is so lonely and desperate in an absolutely silent evening in a prison , missing his beloved so much.
This loneliness is like a cage or a prison for him, to avoid this restlessness, he want to remember his beloved, the beautiful things about her secrets with him , her Fragrant hair.
He further want to tell her, about his heart break in her absence, about the defeat of his rhythm.
Ultimately, he want to liberate himself like the rays of light coming freely from the prison windows ( to get rid of loneliness ) , so that he can fly high to meet his beloved....
