Ye Daulat Bhi Le Lo - Apnach iStyle

Original 'Yeh Daulat Bhi Le Lo'; Singer: Jagjit Singh, Chitra Singh; Lyricist: Ali Sardar Zafri (see below)***

GULF KI ZINDAGANI (Source: Charminar Connection)
Ye contract bhi lelo, Iqama bhi lelo
bhaley cheenlo mujhse meri ye naukri
magar mujhko lautado mehnath ki kamaayi
wo kaagaz pe likhi, wo bandish purani (esb).
Ye chotese kamron mein aat aat bandey
jo rahte hain jaisey tokri mein andey
wo chitti ka aana aur raathon ka rona
ye kapdon ka apne haathon se dhona
ye bathroom ki badboo, ye gandi rasoyi
bhulaye nahin bhool sakta hai expat koi
ye saari museebath hai lambi kahani
Kadi dhoop mein bagair A/C nikalna
ye paani, ye 7up, ye pepsi ka peena
ye superiors ki bathon pe ladna jhagadna
ye bimaar padna aur phirse sambhalna
ye majboor haalath ye bekasi ki yaaden
ye toote hue umeedon ki hai nishaani
Kabhi raat ka mushkilon se guzarna
darqaast likhna, chutti manzoor na hona
wo masoom bacchon ki chaahat hai apni
wo kaandhon pe zimmedari ki zanjeer apni
na marne ka gum hai, na haalat se bandhan
badi bebasi hai ye gulf ki zindagani
Ye contract bhi lelo, Iqama bhi lelo
bhaley cheenlo mujhse meri ye naukri
magar mujhko lautado mehnath ki kamaayi
wo kaagaz pe likhi, wo bandish purani.

Funny Poetry of the Month (Topic = Nokri (Job))(source)
yeh degree bhi lelo ye nokri bhi lelo
Bhale Chheen lo mujhse US ka Visa
magar mujhko lauta do college ki canteen
vo kam chaay ka pani vo teeKha samosaa
college ki canteen me hum sab the raja,
vo chaayvaalaa jise saare kehte the Khawja
vo Kahwja ke hathon ki 'bi2' chaay meethee
vo chupkese journal mein bheji hui chitthi
vo padhtehi chiththi uska tilmilaanaa
vo chehre ki laali vo aankhon ka gussaa...
kadi dhoop mein apne ghar se nikalnaa
vo project ki Khatir shahar bhar bhataknaa
vo lecture mein doston ki proxy lagaanaa
vo sar ko chidhanaa ,vo aeroplane udaanaa
vo submission ki raton ko jagnaa jagaanaa
vo orals ki khahani vo Lab-on ka kissaa....
bimaari ka detention ke time bahanaa
vo doosron ke assignments ko apnaa banaanaa
vo seminar ke din pairoka chhatpatanaa
vo workshop mein din raat pasinaa bahanaa
vo exam ke din ka bechain maahaul
par vo maa ka vishvas Teachar ka Bharosaa
colleg ki wo lambisi raatein
vo doston se thele pe pyaari si baatein
vo gathering ke din ka ladnaa Jhagadnaa
vo ladkiyon ka yuhin hamesha akadnaa
bhulaaye nahin bhool sakta hai koi
jivan ka ek atoot hissaa...
vo college ki yaaden, vo college ke din
koi to louta de mere college ke din........

Ye daulat bhi le lo, ye shohrat bhi le lo
Bhale cheen lo mujhse meri jawaani Magar mujhko lauta do bachchpan ka saawan
Wo kaagaz ki kasthi wo baarish ka paani
Mohalle ki sabse purani nishaani
Wo budhiya jise bachche kehte the naani
Wo naani kee baaton mein pariyon ka dera
Wo chehre ke jhuriyon mein sadiyon ka phera
Bhulaaye nahin bhool sakta hai koi
Wo choti see raaten wo lambi kahaani
Kadi dhoop mein apne ghar se nikalna
Wo chidiya wo bulbul wo thithli pakadna
Wo gudiya ki shaadi pe ladna jhagadna
Wo jhoolon se girna, wo gir ke sambhalna
Wo pithal ke challon ke pyaare se tohfe
Wo tuti hui chudiyon ki nishaani
Kabhi reit ke oonche tilon pe jaana ...
Gharonde banana, banaa ker mitaana
Wo maasoom chaahat ki tasveer apni
Wo khwabon khilono ki taabir jaageer apni
Na duniya ka gham tha na rishton ke bandhan
Badi khoobsoorat wo zindgaani

Aur kalma padlete baitho, kaiku bole toh, hamare kaptan aajeech pilot bane, aur ye unki pehli udaan hai.
Magar fikar nakko karo, apan kaisa toh bhi Dilli pahunch jayinge

Jahaaz jab tak teda rahinga beltaan kholo nakko aur baitheso jage se ?utho nakko.
Aap gir-vir gaye toh bhot musibat hongi.
Agar raste mein oxygen ki kami ho gayi toh oopar chhat se ek pipe giringa.
Usku dekh ke daro? nakko.
Kahin 'Saanp, saanp!' bolke, jahilon ke vaisa chillao nakko.
Usko naak ke andar? ghusake saans lete raho.

Comot pe saleeqe se baitho, jahilon ke jaisa ukdu mat baitho - ye qadamcha nai hai, samjhe nai?

Ab thhodi der mein tabarruk batinga:

Jage pe baithke topiyon mein le lo.

Shukriya sab logon ka Hyderabad Airlines pe udhne ke liye.

National Seminar on Maulana Azad: A Multifaceted Thinker

Hyderabad: Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) is organizing a three day national seminar on “Maulana Abul Kalam Azad: A Multifaceted Thinker” from November 19 to 21, 2012. Photo, courtesy, Siasat
MANUU is among six universities in the country where Maulana Azad chair is established to propagate the legacy and work of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, freedom fighter and India’s first education minister.
Prof. Suleman Siddiqui, Professor of the Chair and Former Vice Chancellor of Osmania University addressed a press conference at MANUU campus to inform about the event.
Siddiqui said the idea of conducting the seminars on Maulana Azad works is to identify those areas on which little or no work has been done on Azad’s disposition. He also said that this seminar will help the interested researchers to identify the libraries and private collection where new material on Azad is available.
The seminar is divided in three sessions; the first session will be on ‘Maulana Azad on politics, the second day’s session will be on ‘Maulana Azad on religion’ while the third day sessions would focus on ‘Maulana Azad on education and journalism.’
The seminar is divided in three sessions; the first session will be on ‘Maulana Azad on politics, the second day’s session will be on ‘Maulana Azad on religion’ while the third day sessions would focus on ‘Maulana Azad on education and journalism.’

Prof. Suleman Siddiqui also said that the main purpose of the seminar is to develop a high class, technology equipped research center at the Urdu University.
He also said Mualana Azad Chair at MANUU has already taken up the translation work of Maulana Azad’s literature, and has commissioned its first book ‘Maulana Azad’s Contribution to Education in General and Higher Education in Particular.’
Azad Chair is also maneuvering for the establishment of the Directorate of Translation at Urdu University.

Chowmahalla Palace to house royal library, THE TIMES OF INDIA

TNN Jun 28, 2012, THE TIMES OF INDIA
Extract:

HYDERABAD: There is hectic activity going on at the Mahtab Mahal of Chowmahalla Palace. Inside the freshly painted gigantic mahal, staffers are busy unloading an array of timeworn books from the huge wooden trunks of the Asaf Jahi period. These books, neglected for over four decades, were recently shifted from the Nazri Bagh and Chiran Palace to Chowmahalla, their new home. Palace officials said that in about two months Mahtab Mahal will transform into a library with a rare and valuable collection of books belonging to the Asaf Jahi Nizams who loved literature and were poets themselves. They said that research scholars will now be able to turn the pages of history, literally.

It had a dining hall, living room, an English and Indian darbar apart from a bedroom. "The mahal has been converted into a library. This royal library is coming up in the palace with rare books dating back to the 16th century. A web directory is also being created," said G Kishan Rao, director, Chowmahalla Palace. Research scholars can make use of the facility, he added...

...While there was a large collection of books at Falaknuma Palace as well, it has been converted into the Palace Library, a replica of the one at Windsor Castle, on the same premises.

Even this library at Falaknuma Palace is home to the rarest of manuscripts, books and one of the most acclaimed collections of the Quran in the country, all of which were selected by the Nizam himself.
