Eid Ka Din...

Kitchen Main Tumhari Masroofiyat

Bhuni Hui Seewayaian

Sheer Khurma, Halwa, Shaami Kabab

Bagair Tel Ke Pake Hue Khane

Aur Jaane Kiya Kiya Lawazmaat

Eid Ke Din Bahut Yaad Aate Hain Sab

Yar Meri, In Main Se Kuch To Lauta Do?

Ya Phir Chodo Un Sab Ko

Woh Jo Safed Dupatte Main Lipti Hui 

Tumhari Muskurahaten Thi Na

Wohi Jo Mere Haseen Jumle Sun Kar 

Foran Chali Aati thin...

Wohi Lauta Do

Eid Ka Din Hai

Tumhare Allah Miyan Ne Jo Tohfe Main Diya Hai

Ye Mubarak Din

Kaate Nahi Kat Raha...

Aansoo...

Jab

Mere Achanak Yun Saamne Aane Par

Tumhen Kuch Nahi Kehna Tha

Tab Tumhari Aankhon Main 

Aaye Hue Chand Aansoo

Kiya Kehnca Chahte The?

Bas Ye Batla Do....

Mujji.....

There is always a woman......

Ever since I read autobiography of K.A. Abbas, I kept searching for the picture of a woman in his life called "Mujji". I Googled many times, looked in the old book stores of Delhi, Mumbai and Bhopal but nothing, not even a picture of hers showed up. I always wondered how she looked and what was so special about her that captivated Abbas's imagination.

Until today!!

Muji was Abba's girl friend ( wife as normal people call it) and a major source of inspiration for his work.

When Abbas brought Mujji home to Mumbai, she asked what he expects her to do? Abbas Said " just sit there and inspire me to write and make tea for me when you think I need it!"

Abbas wrote 73 books and many films including the first that made it to Cannes Film Festival. Read here and get a shocker as to who Abbas was:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0007815/

There union lasted a few years only. She died very young, of not a very complicated disease. Abbas being a principled man chose a government run hospital to treat his wife, in-spite of the fact that Mumbai's who's who knew him and he could afford a private hospital.

The night before she was to be operated at Mumbai's KEM hospital, Abbas asked her "what she wants before Dcotor sedate her? Mujji said "she wanted to see his handwriting in case she died in operation".

Abbas wrote a letter to her that night and gave her. She was holding that letter in her palm when Doctors sedated her took to the operation theater.

The operation was successful.....

she died during recovery!!

I am teary eyed as I write this....feel a joy of seeing so many pictures of Mujji but at the same time....re-living what pain she felt during those last days!

After her death Abbas wrote that "He knew that there can not be a woman who could replace Mujji and he will have to walk alone for the rest of life."

And alone he walked....for 45 years....never married......because there was no one who could take Mujji's place.

There is always a woman.....

Rest in Peace Mujji and Abbas!!

Na Tum Hi gila Karna....

Dil Ke Kisi Makaan Ka Darwaza Khula Rakhna...

Tanhaiyon Ke Shor Main, Wahin Mujh Se Mila Karna

Go Tamaam  Umr Kati Hai Ek Doosre Ko Rote

Na Main Gila Karoonga, Na Tum Hi Gila Karna!

Pahuncho Meri Qabar Pe, Tareekyan Jo Dekho

Ek Chiraag Jala Dena, Ab Kiya Reh Gaya Hai Karna?

Yaaden Meri Jo Aayen, Na Tum Udaas Hona

Pehle Bhi Wafa Ki Thi,  Thodi Aur Wafa Karna!

Tanhaiyon Ke shor main Wahin mujh se mila karna..

Ramzaan....

Mere Pehlu Se Sarakti Hui

Sardiyon Ki Woh Raat

Neem Khwaab Aankhen, 

Tasbeeh, Rahal, Jaa Namaaz

Safed Dupatta, Wuzu, Qiblaa

Woh Mataanat, Woh Saadgi

Pakeezgi Ka Woh Ehsaas...

Hadees Ki Kitaben, Quran

Internet Ki Azaan aur Phir

Sadqa, Fitra Ka Woh Hisaab

Mere Ird Gird Mandraana

Qareeb Aana, Ithlana, Aur

Phir Rakhna Apne Allah Ke

Ekhkaam Ka Bhi Paas

Aye Yaar Meri, Tum Ujlat Main 

Kiya Kiya Le Gayi Ho Apne Sath?

Ho Sake To Apne Allah Ke

Ehkaam Ka Paas Hi Rakhne 

Ek Baar Chali Aana....

Ek Roza Hum Bhi Rakh Lenge!!

Iftaar _ aaj kal

Padosiyon Ke Gharon Se

Nikalti Hui Khusboo Ki Lapeten

Chand Shokh Chudion Ki Khankhanahat

Bartano Ke Takrane Ki Awazen

Daal Bagharne Ka Chanaka

Mixer Ki Who Awaaz

Tumhare Ek Ke Na Hone se

Dekho Kiya Kiya Nahi Hai is ghar main

Mano

Duniya Nahi Hai IS Ghar main!
