Rimiki Jhimiki Jhare  - Rabindranath Tagore



We all know Rabindranath Tagore as writer of our National Anthem 'Jana Gana Mana' but most of us are not aware of his other works. I came across this poem during internet surfing and opening words ' Rimiki Jhimiki Jhare' got struck to my mind. This poem describes the feelings of poet hearing sounds of rain. I have tried to translate this Rabindra Sangeet in Hindi and English as per my understanding of this poem and by taking help from online contents since I don't know Bengali. The Bengali version is just copy and paste.

রিমিকি ঝিমিকি ঝরে ভাদরের ধারা--
        মন যে কেমন করে,     হল দিশাহারা।
                যেন কে গিয়েছে ডেকে, 
        রজনীতে সে কে          দ্বারে দিল নাড়া--
                রিমিকি ঝিমিকি ঝরে ভাদরের ধারা॥
বঁধু দয়া করো, আলোখানি ধরো হৃদয়ে।
        আধো-জাগরিত তন্দ্রার ঘোরে   আঁখি জলে যায় যে ভ'রে।
স্বপনের তলে ছায়াখানি দেখে    মনে মনে ভাবি এসেছিল সে কে--
        রিমিকি ঝিমিকি ঝরে ভাদরের ধারা॥

Rimiki jhimiki jhare bhadarero dhara –
Mon je kemon kore holo dishahara
Jeno ke giyechhe deke,
Rajaneete se ke dware dilo nara –
Rimiki jhimiki jhare bhadarero dhara –
Bodhu daya karo ,alokhani dharo hridaye
Adho jagarito tandrar ghore ankhi jale jaay je bhore
Swapaner tale chhayakhani dekhe mone mone bhabi esechhilo se ke –
Rimiki jhimiki jhare bhadarero dhara


काले बादल जब बरसें छम-छम,
उलझन में आ जाता है मन। 
लगता है कोई पुकार कर, रात में दरवाज़े पर मार कर,
लौट गया हो तोड़कर सब बंधन।

Kale Badal Jab Barsein Cham Cham, 
Uljhan Mein A Jata Hai Mann. 
Lagata Hai Koi Pukar Kar, Raat Mein Darvaze Par Maar Kar,
Lauṭ Gaya Ho Toṛkar Sab Bandhan.

काले बादल जब बरसें छम-छम,
रोशन ह्रदय करो, दया करो प्रीतम। 
सपने में कोई साया देखकर ,
कच्ची-पक्की नींद में, लगता है कोई आया है रात में,
आँसू बहने लगते हैं मध्यम-मध्यम। 
काले बादल जब बरसें छम-छम। 

Kale Badal Jab Barsien Cham-Cham,
Roshan Hriday Kar, Daya Karo Pritam. 
Sapane Mein Koi Saya Dekhkar,
Kachchi-Pakki Neend Mein, Lagata Hai Koi Aya Hai Raat Mein,
Aansu Behne Lagate Hain Madhyam-Madhyam. 
Kale Badal Jab Barsein Cham-Cham,

Black clouds when rains in patterning sound,
Confused mind starts to hound.
Seems like someone is calling out,hitting the door at night,
Returned breaking the bound.

Black cloud when rains in patterning sound,
My love lighten my heart and kindness expound.
Seeing someone in dream,
Half awake and half asleep, felt someone came in night so deep,
Tears started coming down,
Black clouds when rains in patterning sound.

Raksha Bandhan - Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti.

रक्षा बंधन - जिसकी बहन नहीं होती। Raksha Bandhan - Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti. Raksha Bandhan is an Indian festival of brother-sister love in which sister tie a rakhi (sacred thread) on her brother's hand and wishes for his long-life while brother promises to protect her and take care of her in every possible way. Sadly the country which celebrate such a unique festival reports incidents of Honor Killing and has a high rate of crime against women. Lets pledge to respect each women equally this Raksha Bandhan as a mark of  honor for your sister. In this Hindi Kavita (Poem) I have tried to express what all those devoid of sisters are missing in their life. It is also reminder to all those who have sisters but take these advantages as granted without caring for their sisters.  Happy Raksha Bandhan to all. सूनी कलाई, सूना बचपन, सूना आगन हो जाता है, जिसकी बहन नहीं होती सूना उसका जीवन हो जाता है।  Suni Kalai, Suna Bachpan, Suna Aagan Ho Jata Hai, Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti Su

Na Muhn Chupa Ke Jiye Hum Na Sar Jhuka Ke Jiye

न मुहँ छुपा के जीए हम न सर झुका के जीए। (Na Muhn Chupa Ki Jiye Hum Na Sar Jhuka Ke Jiye) -  I am sharing here a ' Qita ' written by Sahir Ludhianvi which is recently used in Hindi movie 'Sanju '. A song inspired from it also penned by Sahir for the film ' Humraaz' (1967 ) staring Sunil Dutt in the lead role. Literal meaning of Qata is ‘separated’. Qata stands for a series of couplets in a ghazal having continuity of thought. A ghazal having one or more Qatas is called Qata-Band ghazal . Qatas also have independent existence comprising at least four lines. In a Qata , the second and fourth lines follow the same rhyming scheme. (Qita meaning from Rekhta ). Here I have tried to translate it.  न मुँह छुपा के जिए हम न सर झुका के जिए,  सितमगरों की नज़र से नज़र मिला के जिए, अब एक रात अगर कम जिए तो कम ही सही,  यही बहुत है कि हम मिशअलें जला के जिए।  Na Muhn Chupa Ke Jiye Hum Na Sar Jhuka Ke Jiye, Sitamgaron Ki Nazar Se Nazar M

The Seven Stages Of Love(इश्क़ के सात मक़ाम) Arabic literature and sufi traditions describes seven stages of love and after the movie 'Dedh Ishqiya'  all of us also knew that these seven stages of love are दिलकशी (Attraction),उन्स (Attachment),मोहब्बत (Love),अक़ीदत (Trust/Reverence),इबादत (Worship),जूनून (Madness) and मौत (Death) . At this time of the year ( Valentine Week) when the   Love is in the air    I am sharing my couplets (शेर ) which are based on these seven stages of love written at different times. I hope you will like my effort and share anything related to these seven stages of love at the comment section of this post. The best couplet ( शेर ) will be posted with your name on my Facebook page ( Fans Of Poetry ). 1. दिलकशी (Attraction) : The first stage of love where eyes meet,spark is initiated and the journey of love begins. वो मेरी तरफ देख कर गुज़र गए, ना कुछ कहा ना बात की, ना रुक के मुलाकात की, डाल कर मुझपर बस एक नज़र गुज़र गए, वो
