Shiv Kumar Batalvi

ISHTEHAAR Ik kuddi jida naa muhabbat,
Goum hai.
Saad muraadi, soni phabbat,
Goum hai. Soorat ousdi pariyaan vargi
Seerat di o mariam lagdi
Hasdi hai taa phul jhaddade ne
Turdi hai taa gazal hai lagdi.
Lamm-salammi, saru de kad di
Umar aje hai marke agg di,
Par naina di gal samajhdi.
Goummeyaan janam janam han hoye
Par lagda jyon kal di gal hai.
Yun lagda jyon ajj di gal hai,
Yun lagda jyon hun di gal hai.

Huney taan mere kol khaddi si
Huney taan mere kol nahi hai
Eh ki chhal hai, eh ki phatkan
Soch meri hairan baddi hai.
Nazar meri har aande jaande
Chehre da rang phol rahi hai,
Ous kuddi nu tol rahi hai.

Saanjh dhale baazaaran de jad,
Moddaan te khushbu ugdi hai.
Vehal, thakaavat, bechaini jad,
Chau raaheyaan te aa juddadi hai.
Rauley lippi tanhai vich
Os kuddi di thudd khaandi hai.
Os kuddi di thudd disdi hai.
Har chhin mennu inyon lagda hai,
Har din mennu inyon lagda hai.
Judde jashan ne bheeddaan vichon,
Juddi mahak de jhurmat vichon,
O mennu aawaaz davegi,
Men ohnu pehchaan lavaanga
O mennu pehchaan lavegi.
Par es raule de hadd vichon
Koi mennu aawaaz na denda
Koi vi mere vall na vehnda.

Par khaure kyun tapala lagda,
Par khaure kyun jhaulla painda,
Har din har ik bheedd juddi chon,
But ohda jyun langh ke jaanda.
Par mennu hi nazar na aunda.
Goum gaya maen os kuddi de
Chehre de vich goummeya rehnda,
Os de gham vich ghullda rehnda,
Os de gham vich khurda jaanda!
Os kuddi nu meri saun hai,
Os kuddi nu apni saun hai,

Os kuddi nu sab di saun hai.
Os kuddi nu jag di saun hai,
Os kuddi nu rab di saun hai,
Je kithe paddhdi sundi hove,
Jyundi ya o mar rahi hove
Ik vaari aa ke mil jaave
Vafa meri nu daag na laave
Nahin taan methon jiya na jaanda
Geet koi likheya na janda!

Ik kudi jida naa muhabat.
Goum hai.
Saad muradi sohni phabbat
Goum hai.

KANDIYAALI THOR Maen kanddiyaali thor ve sajana
Uggi vich ujaaddaan.
Jaan uddadi badaloti koi,
Var gayi vich pahaddan.
Jaan o deeva jehdda balda,
Piraan di dehri te,
Jaan koi koel kantth jide diyaan,
Sootiyan jaavan naaddaan.
Jaan chambe di daali koi
Jo baalan ban jaaye,
Jaan marueh da phull basanti,
Jo tthoong jaan gutaaraan.
Jaan koi boat ki jis de haale
Nain nahin san khulle,.
Maareya maali kass gulela
Le daakhaan diyaan aaddaan. Maen kanddiyali thor ve sajana,
Uggi vich kuraahe.
Na kisse maali sinjeya mennu
Na koi sinjana chaahe.
Yaad teri de ucche mahileen,
Men baitthi payi rovaan,
Har darvaaze lagga pehra,
Aavaan kehdde raahe?
Men o chandari jis di doli,
Lutt layi aap kahaaraan,
Banhan di thaan babul jisde
Aap kalire laahe.
Kuli patt umar di chaadar
Ho gayi leeraan leeraan`
Tiddak gaye ve thovaan wale
Palangh vassal layi daahe.

Maen kanddiyaali thor ve sajana,
Uggi vich jo bele,
Na koi mere chhaaveen baithe,
Na patt khaavan lele.
Men raaje di bardi addeya
Tun raaje da jaaya,
Tuiyon das ve mohraan saahven,
Mul ki khovan ghele?
Sikhar dupehraan jeth diyaan nu
Saun kiven men aakhaan?
Chauheen kooteen bhaaven lagan
Lakh dhiyaan de mele.
Teri meri pareet da addeya
Ohiyo haal su hoya,
Jyun chakavi pehchaan na sakke
Chann chaddeya deun vele.

Maen kandiyaali thor ve sajana
Uggi vich jo baaggaan.
Mere mudd banaayi varmi
Kaale phaniyar naagaan.
Men murgaayi maansaraan di
Jo phadd layi kise shikare.
Jaan koi laali paer sindoori
Noch laye jide kaagaan.
Jaan sassi di bhaen ve duji
Kamm jida bas rouna
Lutt khaddeya jidha Punnu hotaan
Par aiyaan na jaagaan.
Baagaan vaaleya tere baageen
Hun ji nahiyon lagda,
Khali-khaloti maen vaaddaan vich
Sau sau dukhade jhaagaan.

DHARMI BAABALA  

Jad paen kapaahin phull

Je rut na le dayin mull

Jadd pehn kapaahin phull

TITLIYAAN  

Maen titliyaan phaddadi phiraan.
Mean titliyaan phaddadi phiraan.

Zindagi di khubsoorat-
Pushp – basti mahekdi chon,
Soun rangiyaan, neeliyaan,
Chamkeeliyaan te peeliyaan,
Sochdi jaan saariyaan ton-
Vann- suvanni phadd lavaan,
Te taitale jahe khamb osde
Moddeyaan vich jadd lavaan.

Par jadon men phaddan laggaan
Es taraah dil kamb jaaye,
Jis taraah koi shaakh mehndi di
Hava vich thartharaaye,
Duur titli udd jaye.

Phull gunaah de dhupp kaale
Supneyaan vich khiddan lagan,
Mehak khidde itar-bhhinni-
Dhaddkanaan vich pasar jaaye.

Uddadi uddadi titliyaan di –
Sohal jihi patnaar aaye.
Phull gunaah de vekh ttahke
Mast jehi ho baith jaye.
Maen anjaani phull saare
Todd jholli paa lavaan
Par jadon maen turan laggaan
Jholli meri paat jaaye.
Te duur titli udd jaaye.
Maen vallalli sochni han –
Ki phaddaangi titliyaan.
Bhar ghamaan di sarad poh vich
Phull khushi de sadd gaye,
Vel saavi aas di de
Pat naroye jhadd gaye.

Vekh ni oh shah sihaiyaan
Vaadiyaan vich dhilak aiyaan,
Chugan gaiyaan duur daaraan
Hasrataan diyaan parat aaiyaan.

Zindagi di shaam hoi
Kanwal dil de saun gaye,
Tarail katare aatma de
Ddul gaye, kuj pi gaiyaan.
Ni svaad la la titliyaan.

Jad kadey vi raat beetu
Sochdi haan din chaddega.
Mudd bhulekha kaalkhaan da
Soorajaan nu na ravega.

Saanjh da koi kanwal dudhi,
Dhartiyaan te khidd pavega.
Aas hai ke pher addiye,
Mahekdi os gulfashaan chon
Titli mein phad sakaangi.

RUKH  

Kuj rukh mennu, put lagde ne,
Kuj rukh lagde maavaan.

Kuj rukh vaang bharaavaan.
Kuj rukh mere baabe vaakan,

Kuj rukh meri daadi varge
Choori paavan kaavaan.
Kuj rukh yaaraan varge lagde

Ik meri mehbooba vaakan,

Chumma te mar jaavaan.
Kuj rukh jad vi ral ke jhooman
Tej vagan jad vaavaan,

Dil karda likh jaavan.

Rukh di joone aavaan.
Je tussaan mera geet hai sunana,
Maen rukhaan vich gaavaan.
Rukh taa meri ma varge ne,
Jyun rukhaan diyan chhaavaan.

Asaan taan joban rutey marna
Mudd jaana asaan bhare bharaaye.
Hijar teri di kar parkarma.
Asaan tan joban rutey marna!

Eh mera geet

ARJOI  

Tu jo sooraj chori keeta
Mera si.
Tu jis ghar vich nhera keeta,
Mera si.

Eh jo dhhupp tere ghar hasse, meri hai.
Is de baajon meri umar haneri hai.
Is vich mere gham di mehak batheri hi,
Eh dhhupp kal si meri, ajj vi meri hai.

Maen hi kiran-vihoona is da baabal haan
Is de angi meri aggan samoi hai,
Is vich mere sooraj di khushboi hai.,
Sikhar dupehre jis di chori hoi hai.

Par is chori vich tera kuj vi dosh naheen,
Sooraj di har yug vich chori hoi hai.
Roundi roundi sooraj nu har yug andar
Koi na koi sada dupehri moi hai.

Maen nir-loa, risham-vichhoona araz karaan,
Maen ik baap adharmi tere duvaar khadda,
Aa hatheen ikk sooraj tere sees dharaan,
Aa ajj apani dhhupp lai tere paer phaddaan.

Men kalkhaai deh, tu menu bakhsh daveen
Dhhuppaan shaven mudd na mera naam laveen.
Je koi kiran kade kuj puchhe, chupp raveen,
Ja menu ‘kaala sooraj’ keh ke ttaal daveen.

Eh ik dhhupp de baabal di arjoi hai,
Meri dhhupp mere lai ajj toun moi hai,
Saney sooraje teri ajj toun hoi hai,
Dhhupp jedde ghar hasse, baabal soi hai.

Tu jo sooraj chori keeta
Tera si.
Mera ghar ta janam-divas ton
Nhera si.

Dukh hai ki tennu mennu

Dukh hai shikaari kise

Nishaane bann maariyaan.

Dukh naheen ki tere naal
Khedde nangi kheddiyaan na,
Dukh hai ki neehaan kahnu,

Dukh naheen ki raahiyaan paereen
Lakhaan soolaan pudd gaiyaan
Dukh hai ki raahvaan hi

Hathon rassa chhaddeya naheen
Mazhabaan de phande da.

Loone paani akhaan de da
Haale koi naheen mul paenda
Mul bhaaven peya paenda
Paani gande mande da.

Rabb jaane kinna aje
Hor mera paendda rehndae,

Jyun bhakhadde da ik phul pakk ke
Soolaan chaar banaaye ve.

Jyiunde ji asi kade na miliye,
Baad moyaan par sajana ve,
Pyaar asaadde di katth suchaddi
Aalam kul sunaaye ve.

Ghamaan Di Raat  

Ghamaan di raat lammi eh,

Na mere geet mukkde ne.

Eh sar kinne ku ddoonge ne
Kis ne haath na paayi,

Te na auddaan ‘ch sukhde ne.

Mere hadd hi avalle ne
Jo agg laiyaan nahi saddade

Ne saddade haukkeyaan de naal
Haavaan naal dhukhde ne.

Eh phatt han ishk de
Ehna di yaaro ki dava hove,

Eh hath laayaan vi dukhde ne
Malham laayaan vi dukhde ne.

Je gori raat hai chann di
Te kaali raat hai kisdi?

Na lukde taareyaan vich chann
Na taare chann ‘ch lukde ne.

Nooraan  

Roz oh os kabar te aaya kare,

Nooraan osda naa par dil di siyaah,
Siyaah hi burqa reshmi paaya kare.
Aakhde ne vich javaani giraj oh,

Haik lammi la ke jad gaaya kare.
Sadd ke reh jaaya kare dandaasa,
Naal houtthaan de jadon laaya kare.
Dukhan lag jaaya karan kaliyaan de dil,
Sharbati jad nain matakaaya kare.
Aakhde ne naujavaan ik manchala,
Pyaar paake de geya os nu dagaa.
Jouk ban ke pi geya os da lahu,
Choop leeta marmari angaan chon ta.
Zakhmi kar ke sutt geya nainaan di neend,

Chaardi si roz jis nun dil da maas,
Shikara ban ke udd geya si oh huma.
Yaad aa jaandi jadon os di nuhaar
Aandaraan vich raddakada ohda sarkadda.
Sochdi ki bewafa hai aadmi,

Raat har labhdi navaan taara koi,
Har subha labhdi naheen manzil di raah.
Peendi moumi seeniyaan di nit tarael,
Chattdi houttaan toun oh havasaan di savaah.
Ban na sakki karbala seeney di peedd,
Ho na sakki pher vi banjar nigaah.
Haukkeyaan di ohde ghar aayi baraat,
Hanjuaan sang ho geya os da nikaah.
Beh ikkalli katadi hijaraan de sout,
Gaahndi rehndi raat din yaadaan de gaah.
Sadeya os naamvar ik chitrakaar.
Yaaradde di os nu dassi nuhaar.
Chitra do, ik aapna ik yaar da,
Khoon apne naal karvaaye tiyyaar.
Kabar patt ke chitra dafnaaye gaye,
Naal dafnaaye gaye hanjuaan de haar.
Kabar naedde khu vi khudvaaya geya,
Chaandi di ajj teek hai osdi nisaar.
Aakhde ne ajj vi koh-kaaf toun –
Nahaaun aave roz ik pariyaan di ddaar.
Baal di os kabar te oh nitt deeya,
Roundi rehndi oh raat din julfaan khilaar.
Os raahe jo vi raahi langhda,

Dittha je kitey mera bodiyaan vaaladda,

Aakhde ne saal kai hundey chale.

Jad kadey vi taiz vagdi hai hava,
Vich havaavaan mahak jahi ik aa raley.

Kabar nedde je koi aashiq khaley.
Har amaavas di haneri raat nu,
Aake outhe baitthde ne dil jaley.
Lae ke os deeve chon boond ik tael di,
Yaar de houtthaan te har koi maley.
Rounde laa ke dhhaasana os kabar naal,
Hijar di looni jinhaan de hadd galey.
Duur os vaadi ‘ch oh tibbiyaan cho paar
Naal mere jo koi ajj vi chaley.
Luddchhe pai ajj teek vi nooraan di rooh,
Odaan hi ajj teek oh deeva baley.

Ni dukhaan da paraaga bhunn de.
Bhatti vaaliye.

Ho geya kuvela menu
Dhall gaiyaan chhaavaan ni,
Beliyaan chon mudd aiyaan
Majjhiyaan te gaavaan ni.

Paaya chiddiyaan ne cheek- chihaadda
Ni peeddaan da paraaga bhunn de
Bhatti vaaliye.

Tennu diyaan hanjuaan da bhaadda,
Ni dukhaan da paraaga bhunn de
Bhatti vaaliye.

Chhaiti chhaiti kareen;
Maen te jaana baddi duur ni,
Jithe mere haaniyaan da
Ttur gaya puur ni.

Os pind da suneende raah maadda
Ni peedaan da paraaga bhunn de
Bhatti vaaliye.

Tennu diyaan hanjuaan da bhaadda,
Ni dukhaan da paraaga bhunn de
Bhatti vaaliye.

Meri vaari pateyaan di
Pandd silli ho gayi.
Mitti di kadhai teri
Kaahnu pilli ho gayi

Tere saek nu ki vajjeya dugaadda
Ni peedaan da paraaga bhunn de
Bhatti vaaliye.

Tennu diyaan hanjuaan da bhaadda,
Ni dukhaan da paraaga bhunn de
Bhatti vaaliye.

Lapp ku eh chung meri
Mennu pehlaan tor ni,
Kacch kacche rakh na ni,
Roadd thodde hor ni

Karaan minnataan muka de ni puaadda
Ni peedaan da paraaga bhunn de
Bhatti vaaliye.

Tennu diyaan hanjuaan da bhaadda,
Ni dukhaan da paraaga bhunn de
Bhatti vaaliye.

So gaiyaan havaavaan ro ro
Kar varlaap ni,
Taareyaan nu chadd gaya
Mitthaa mittha taap ni.

Janj saahvaan di da rus gaya laadda
Ni peedaan da paraaga bhunn de
Bhatti vaaliye.

Tennu diyaan hanjuaan da bhaadda,
Ni dukhaan da paraaga bhunn de
Bhatti vaaliye.

Hayaati Nu  

Chug laye jo chugne san,
Maansaraan chon moti.
Hun taan maasaraan vich mera,
Do din hor basera.

Ghor sihaiyaan naal pai gaiyaan
Hun kuj addiyo saanjhaan,
Taainyon chaananiyaan raataan vich
Ji nahi lagda mera.

Umar ayaalan chhaang lae gayi
Husnaan de pat saave,
Hun taan baalan baalan disde,
Addiyo chaar chufere.

Phooke ni hun leer pattoule
Guddiyaan de sir saaddo,
Maar duhathaddaan pitto ni
Hun mar gaye mere haani.

Jhat karo ni kha layo tukkar
Hath vich hai jo phaddeya.
Oh vekho ni! Cheel samey di,
Udd payi aadam khaani.

Ddaro na langh jaan diyo addiyo
Kaangaan nu kandeyaan ton,
Seek laengiyaan bhubbal hoiyaan
Raetaan aape paani.

Reejhaan di je sanjh ho gayi
Taan ki hoya jinde,
Hor lamere ho jaande ne
Sanjh payi parcchaaven.

Kalval hove na ni aidaan,
Vekh vagdiyaan loaan,
Oh bootta ghatt hi palda hai
Jo ugda hai chhaaven.

Gazal – Jaach Mennu Aa Gayi Gham Khaan Di  

Jaach mennu aa gayi gham khaan di
Hauli hauli ro ke ji parchaun di.

Changa hoiya tu paraaya ho giyoun
Mukk gayi chinta tennu apnaan di.

Mar te jaan, par ddar hai damma vaaleyo,
Dharat vi vikdi hai mul shamshaan di.

Na deyo mennu saah udhaare dosto,
Lae ke mudd himmat naheen partaan di .

Na karo ‘Shiv’ di udaasi da ilaaj,
Roun di marzi hai ajj baimaan di.

Thabba Ku Zulfaan Vaaleya  

Thabba ku zulfaan vaaleya.
Mere sohneya mere laaddeya.
Addeya ve teri yaad ne,
Kadd ke kaleja kha leya.
Thabba ku zulfaan vaaleya.
Thabba ku zulfaan vaaleya.

Oh maar laende vall nigaah.
Ajj ho geya suraj zabaah.
Aikam da chann phikka jeha,
Ajj badaliyaan ne kha leya.
Asaan deedeyaan de virhadde,
Hanjuaan da poucha pa leya.
Tere shehar jaandi saddak da
Ik roadd chukk ke kha leya.
Thabba ku zulfaan vaaleya.

Aiyaan ve sir te vahngiyaan.
Raataan aje ne rahndiyaan.
Kiranaan aje ne mahngiyaan.
Phikkiyaan aje ne mehndiyaan.
Asaan dil de ujadde khaet vich,
Moosal ghamaan da la leya.
Mittha ve tera birhadda –
Geetaan ne kuchadd cha leya.
Thabba ku zulfaan vaaleya.
Thabba ku zulfaan vaaleya.

Sajjan ve dil deya kaaleya,
Asaan rog dil nu la leya,
Tera zehar – mauharey rang da –
Baanh te hai na khudava leya.
Os baanh duwaale motiye da,
Haar hai ajj paa leya.
Kabaraan nu takkaraan maar ke –
Matthe te rouda pa leya.
Asaan hijar di sangraand nu –
Athru koi luna kha leya.
Koi geet tera ga leya.
Thabba ku zulfaan vaaleya.

Mere haaneya, mere piyaareya,
Peeddaan di pathkan joud ke,
Geera asaan banavaa leya,
Haddaan da baalan baal ke,
Umaraan da aava ta leya.
Kacha piyaala ishk da –
Ajj shingarfi rangava leya.
Vich zehar chupp da pa leya.
Jindu ne bulleen la leya.
Thabba ku zulfaan vaaleya.
Addeya ve teri yaad ne,
Kadd ke kaleja kha leya.
Thabba ku zulfaan vaaleya.

Vaasta ee mera,
Mere dile deya mahrma ve,
Phulliyaan kaneraan ghar aa!
Laggi tere deed di
Ve taeh saahdde deedeyaan nu,
Ik ghutt chaanani peya.

Birhon di raddak pave!
Adhi adhi raateen –
Utth roun moye mitraan nu
Maaye sahnu neend na pave!

Ik Karang Ik Kahaani  

Haanniyaan tere shehar valloun
Aa rahi hai ajj hava!
Maar dhinddi mukkiyaan hai –
Ro rahi saari fiza!
Nikal aayi hai chhapaaki
Taareyaan di arash te,
Maar palla abar da –
Gayi chann da deeva bujha!
Raat edaan saun rahi hai
Jis tarah habshan koi,
Phull amaltaas de
Peele jehe joodde ‘ch la
Vekh ke pagdaanddiyaan
Tere shehar vall jaandiyaan,
Aa rihae mere jigar de vich
Peed da ik zalzala!
Phull sooha aatashi –
Guhdda gulaabi jigar da,
Pher ajj maayusiyaan de
Adan vich hai khidd riha.
Pher nainaan di niaaeen –
Ho rahi hai ajj sairaab,
Pher khooha hikkaddi vich
Agg da hai gidd riha.
Lai sabar diyaan chhaapiyaan,
See dil nu vaaddaan keetiyaan
Gham da ijadd pher hai –
Dil de kiyaare phir reha!
Pher mere kaalje nu –
Dhu jehi hai pai rahi,
Yaad kar beete dinhu
Hai dil ‘ch paala chhidd riha!

Yaad hai ik vaar aidaan hi,
Hava si chal rahi!
Raat – raani raat de –
Pindde mehak si mal rahi!
Teriyaan mushki littaan vich
Mere houtthaan di kali,
Vekh saari gulfashaan si –
Taareyaan di jal rahi.

Aandaraan vich tere mere
Ho rahi si ik jaloon,
Mehak saadde jisam di si
Kahkashaan vich ral rahi.
Saaddiyaan gallaan ‘ch vadhada –
Ja reha si ik savaad,
Badaliyaan de mehal bati
Chann di si bal rahi!

Saan asi oh raat saari
Mil gale rounde rahe.
Raat bhar nainaan diyaan –
Jogaan aseen jounde rahe!
Ragadd mathe dehriyaan te
Roat kai sukhe asaan,
Bhar ke paleeyaan hanjuaan da
Tael saan chonde rahe!
Gutakade chitte kabutar –
Vaakana tere mehal vekh,
Meriyaan jhuggiyaan de jaale
Raat bhar rounde rahe.
Ghol kallar chaanani da
Ambaraan de daabadde,
Aas da maela vichauna
Raat bhar dhounde rahe!
Vikt pa ke hauli hauli
Saah mere chagale gaye.
Ho gayi jootthi javaani
Naen ho gadale gaye.
Havas da paapi phulera
Ittar kadd ke lai gaya,
Phull mehake roop de –
Ho hasar lai phugale gaye!
Chadd gayi tere deedeyaan te
Sone chaandi di ve paann,
Lakh saanna ton men laaye
Par na mudd badale gaye.
Chhambh tere iskh da –
Ik roz rakkadd ho gaya,
Mar gaiyaan ve ticharaan
Te duur udd bagale gaye!
Pher ik din meriyaan –
Kanna de parde cheerdi,
Langh gayi awaaz
Shehnai di kookaan maardi.
Ghull gaye saare garaan di –
Paunn vich tere suhaag,
Ja rahi si paalki
Veehveen sadi de pyaar di.
Motiyaan de bha tera.

Pardes Vassan Vaaleya  

Roz jadd aathan da taara
Ambaraan te chadhega
Koi yaad tennu karega!
Pardes vassan vaaleya!

Yaad karke taindde –
Nukrayi haasse di aawaaz,
Jigar mera hijar de –
Sakkaan di agg vich saddega!
Pardes vassan vaaleya!

Tere te mere vaakanna –
Hi phuukk dita jaayega,
Jo yaar saahddi maut te
Aa marsiya vi padhega!
Pardes vassan vaaleya!

Garam saahvaan de samundar
Vich garak jaayega dil,
Kaun ehnu nooh di –
Kashti de teekan khaddega?
Pardes vassan vaaleya!

Dharat de mathe –
Te tangi arash di kunni siyaah,
Par kulhaan nain –
Samiyaan da asar kuj karega.
Pardes vassan vaaleya!

Paalde be-shak bhaaven
Kaag ne koyalaan de boatt,
Par na tere baajh –
Meri zindagi da sarega!
Pardes vassan vaaleya!

Lakh bhaaven chhung ke
Chalaan men lahnga sabar da,
Yaad teri de kareeraan
Naal ja hi addega!
Pardes vassan vaaleya!

Bakhsh diti jaayegi
Tere jisam di saltanat
Chaandi de bunnke jaal
Tera dil-huma jo phadega!
Pardes vassan vaaleya!

Roz jadd aathan da taara
Ambaraan te chadhega
Koi yaad tennu karega!
Pardes vassan vaaleya!
