song Zeehale muskin from Ghulami - meaning of the first two lines

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]

zihaal-e-miskeen mukon ba-ranjish - Full Song

zihaal-e-miskeen mukon ba-ranjish
bahaal-e-hijra bechara dil hai
sunaai deti hai jisaki dhaDakan
tumhaaraa dil ya hamaaraa dil hai

vo aake pahaloo meiN aise baiThe
ke shaam raNgeen ho gayi hai
zaraa zaraa si khili tabeeyat
zaraa si gamgeen ho gayi hai

kabhi kabhi shaam aise Dhalatee hai
jaise ghooNghaT utar rahaa hai
tumhaare seene se uThta dhuaaN
hamaare dil se guzar raha hai

ye sharm hai ya hayaa hai kya hai
najar uThaate hi jhuk gayi hai
tumhaari palakoN se girke shabanam
hamaari aaNkhoN meiN ruk gayi hai

And the English translation is:

Do not overlook my misery by blandishing your eyes,
and weaving tales; My patience has over-brimmed,
O sweetheart, why do you not take me to your bosom.
Long like curls in the night of separation,

short like life on the day of our union;
My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before.
Suddenly, using a thousand tricks, the enchanting eyes robbed me
of my tranquil mind;

Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling?
Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle,
I roam about in the fire of love;

Sleepless eyes, restless body,
neither comes she, nor any message.
In honour of the day I meet my beloved
who has lured me so long, O Khusrau;

I shall keep my heart suppressed,
if ever I get a chance to get to her trick.

Zindagi hai choti, har pal mein khush raho

Zindagi hai choti, har pal mein khush raho...

Office me khush raho, ghar mein khush raho...

Aaj paneer nahi hai, dal mein hi khush raho...

Aaj gym jane ka samay nahi, do kadam chal ke hi khush raho...

Aaj Doston ka sath nahi, TV dekh ke hi khush raho...

Ghar ja nahi sakte to phone kar ke hi khush raho...

Aaj koi naraaz hai, uske iss andaz mein bhi khush raho...

Jise dekh nahi sakte uski awaz mein hi khush raho...

Jise paa nahi sakte uski yaad mein hi khush raho

Bita hua kal ja chuka hai, uski meethi yaadein hai, unme hi khush raho...

aane wale pal ka pata nahi... sapno mein hi khush raho...

Haste haste ye pal bit jayenge, aaj mein hi khush raho

Zindagi hai choti, har pal mein khush raho...

General Motors reply on Bill Gates comment

General Motors reply to Bill Gates


At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,

"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release Stating:
"If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics " :


1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.


2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.


3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.


4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.


5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would ! run on only five percent of the roads.


6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed an Illegal Operation" warning light.


7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.


8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.


9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.


10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off. "


Never undervalue the manufacturing & automobile industries
