A ghazal by Meena Kumari in her own voice.

aablaapaa ko'ii is dasht meN aayaa hogaa
varnaa aaNdhii meN diyaa kis ne jalaayaa hogaa

(aablaapaa : blisters in foot, frenzied; dasht : ruins)

zarre zarre pe jaRe hoNge kuNvaare sajde
ek ek but ko Khudaa us ne banaayaa hogaa

(zarre : dust particles; sajde : prostations)

pyaas jalte hu'e kaaNToN kii bujhaa'ii hogii
riste paanii ko hathelii pe sajaayaa hogaa

(kaaNTe : thorns; hathelii : palm)

mil gayaa hogaa agar ko'ii suneharii patthar
apnaa TuuTaa hu'aa dil yaad to aayaa hogaa

    I stand by my comments about her. Even today, most celebrities in Hollywood/Bollywood are dysfunction individuals ridden with substance abuse, alcohol near prostitution. You are impressed by them, fine.

    I have worked with these people. Very few of them are fit to be decent human beings & that includes directors, producers, writers and actors. I know them, you don't.

    Please stop preaching. Pretty Woman idolized prostitution. More than 30,000 young girls left home for Hollywood.

  • @amoralis123

    It is not proper to tarnish the images of celebrities by uttering uncivilized words; there are other forums for this. Here one is expected to talk on music - song and related issues. Can anybody deny her talent?

  • @IrongoldX

    Not correct; we have also not seen nor heard the truth. Don't try to spread rumours, but appreciate the poetry. There are other forums to discuss personal issues.

  • @orientlover1

    I agree with you. Nobody can deny her talent. To say something nonsense in her absence is not correct.

  • wow... I was the 111,111th viewer! Scary!

  • we miss everything of yours meena

  • so said......

  • Wow *-*.

  • Mehjabeen's parents were desperately poor. The first man in her life was her producer: the girl was barely 9 at that time. She was moulded by Kamal Amrohi. Then love evaporated, he began exploiting his wife - or so she thought. Meena never had money on her person before separation. After death, her hospital bill was paid by her personal physician, Dr Shah. She married Kamal Amrohi twice (in-between marrying Amrohi's secretary Baqar Ali) and died being his wife, though they lived separately.

  • we miss u meenakumari (mahjabeen bano) so sadness in ur voice : waheed
