One of reader of this blog has asked the the meaning of the first two lines from song 'Zeehale muskin' from Ghulami. Here is answer:
This is famous song "zihaal-e-miskeen mukon ba-ranjish" is from movie Gulami, music by Laxmikant Pyarelal and lyrics by gulzar. These are lines by Ghalib or Faiz,the persian poet. And that the rest of the song lyrics are added by Gulzar.
zihaal-e-miskeen mukon ba-ranjish, bahaal-e-hijra bechara dil hai
zihaal = notice
miskeen = poor
mukon = do not
ba-ranjish = with ill will, with enimity
bahaal = fresh, recent
hijra = separation
Thus the meaning is: Notice the poor (heart), and do not look at it (heart)
with enimity. It (heart) is fresh with the wounds of separation.
Hindi mein (and more clearly): Ye dil judaai ke gamo se abhi bhi taaza hai.
Iski bechaargi ko ba-ranjish (without enimity) dekho.
the meaning could be...
Mere gareeb dil ke haal se Ranjish kyon?
Ye to pahle hi judaai ke maare bechara hai...
jiski dhadkan sunaai de rahi hai wo tumhara bhi ho sakta hai..
[could be any of the two]
