Recitation
اُٹھایا گیا نہ پردۂ راز ۔ مہندر سنگھ بیدی سحرؔ
۱
کہیں ہے کبر و رعونت کہیں ہے عِجز و نِیاز
بلا کشانِ محبت تمہاری عمر دراز
۲
ابھی طیور گُلِستاں ہیں بے خبر شاید
قفس کی منزلِ اوّل ہے خواہشِ پرواز
۳
نہ کر شباب میں تلقینِ پارسائی شیخ
ہمیں ضمیر سے پہلے ہے وقت کی آواز
۴
بجا کہ تم نہ کرو گے نمودِ عشق مگر
نظر نظر متقاضی ادا ادا غماز
۵
ذرا سنبھل کے چلو منزلِ محبت میں
بہت ملیں گے ابھی راہ میں نشیب و فراز
۶
میانِ کعبہ و بتخانہ فرق کچھ بھی نہیں
مگر نظر سے اُٹھایا گیا نہ پردۂ راز
۷
نگاہِ لطف سے دیکھا کسی نے بس اک بار
یہیں پہ عشق کا انجام ہے یہیں آغاز
۸
لپٹ گیا ہوں یہی کہہ کے ہر مصیبت سے
زمانہ با تو نہ سازد، تو با زمانہ ساز
۹
شکستِ ضبط کی ساعت کہیں قریب نہ ہو
زمانہ کس لیے بیٹھا ہے گوش بر آواز
۱۰
کسی نے دل کے لیے خوب کہہ دیا ہے سحرؔ
تمام رنج و مصیبت تمام سوز و گداز
उठाया गया न पर्दा-ए राज़ – महेंद्र सिंह बेदी सहर
१
कहीं है किब्र-ओ-र’ऊनत कहीं है इज्ज़-ओ-नियाज़
बला-कशान-ए मोहब्बत तुम्हारी उम्र दराज़
२
अभी तयूर-ए गुलिस्ताँ हैं बेख़बर शा’एद
क़फ़स की मंज़िल-ए अव्वल है ख़्वाहिश-ए पर्वाज़
३
न कर शबाब में तल्क़ीन-ए पारसाई शैख़
हमें ज़मीर से पहले है वक़्त की आवाज़
४
बजा के तुम न करोगे नुमूद-ए इश्क़ मगर
नज़र-नज़र मुतक़ाज़ी अदा-अदा ग़म्माज़
५
ज़रा संभल के चलो मंज़िल-ए मोहब्बत में
बहुत मिलेंगे अभी राह में नशेब-ओ-फ़राज़
६
मियान-ए काबा-ओ-बुतख़ाना फ़र्क़ कुछ भी नहीं
मगर नज़र से उठाया गया न पर्दा-ए राज़
७
निगाह-ए लुत्फ़ से देखा किसी ने बस एक बार
यहीं पे इश्क़ का अंजाम है यहीं आग़ाज़
८
लिपट गया हूँ यही कह के हर मुसीबत से
ज़माना बा तु न साज़द, तु बा ज़माना साज़
९
शिकस्त-ए ज़ब्त की सा’अत कहीं क़रीब न हो
ज़माना किस लिए बैठा है गोश-बर-आवाज़
१०
किसी ने दिल के लिए ख़ूब कह दिया है सहर
तमाम रंज-ओ-मुसीबत तमाम सोज़-ओ-गुदाज़

kahiiN hai kibr1-o-ra’uunat2 kahiiN hai ‘ijz3-o-niyaaz4
balaa-kashaan5-e mohabbat tumhaari umr5 daraaz6 1.arrogance 2.vanity 3.humility 4.submission 5.calamity afflicted, suffering 5.life 6.long
On one side there is arrogance and vanity, and on the other humility and devotion; O sufferers of the affliction of love, may your lives be long. The poet/lover contrasts arrogance of the beloved with the humility of the lover. He anticipates that he (all lovers) will die soon and offers a tongue in cheek prayer for them – may your lives be long.

abhi tuyuur1-e gulistaaN2 haiN beKhabar3 shaa’ed4
qafas5 ki manzil6-e avval7 hai Khwaahish8-e parvaaz9 1.birds 2.garden 3.unaware 4.perhaps 5.cage 6.stage, step 7.first 8.desire 9.flight
The birds of the garden are perhaps still unaware; the first step towards the cage is the desire to fly. In urdu poetic tradition the bird either is caught by the birdcatcher and caged, or its nest is burnt by lightning. In this case, the focus is on the birdcatcher and the poet is cautioning the unaware bird that free flight is the first step towards being caught in a net. A second possibility is that the bird is already caged. The first step towards freedom is the urge/desire to fly. This maybe an exhortation to break out of the cage and fly.
3
na kar shabaab1 meN talqiin2-e paarsaai3 shaiKh
humeN zamiir4 se pahle’ hai vaqt ki aavaaz 1.youth 2.religious instruction 3.piety 4.conscience
Do not preach piety to us in our youth, o shaiKh; before the voice of conscience, the call of time comes first. The poet rebuffs the shaiKh (a figure of moral authority) for advising piety during the energetic and impassioned phase of youth. The poet emphasizes the importance of listening to the demands of the present moment (of youth) over abstract moralistic ideals.

nazar-nazar3 mutaqaazi4, adaa-adaa5 Ghammaaz6 1.appropriate, agreed 2.show, display 3.every glance 4.demands 5.every gesture 6.bearer/carrier of tales
Granted, you will not openly express your love, but every glance demands it, every gesture reveals it. The beloved is always reticent and plays games.
5
zaraa sambhal1 ke chalo manzil2-e mohabbat meN
bahut mileNge abhi raah3 meN nasheb-o-faraaz4 1.carefully 2.journey to the destination 3.path 4.ups and downs
Walk carefully on the path of love, you will encounter many more ups and downs along the way. This could be a caution to all lovers or a caution addressed to himself. The path forward is fraught with emotional highs and lows.

magar nazar5 se uThaayaa gayaa na pardah6-e raaz7 1.between 2.used here for mosque 3.idol-house, temple 4.difference 5.sight 6.veil 7.mystery
There is no difference between the mosque and the temple, but the veil of mystery has not been lifted from our sight. This suggests the universality of all faiths that lead to the divine. Who has not lifted the veil – there is a strong implication that it is ‘us’. We are still divided by superficialities.

yahiiN pe ishq kaa anjaam3 hai, yahiiN aaGhaaz4 1.glance 2.kindness, grace 3.result 4.begining
Someone (the beloved) cast a graceful/kind glance just once; here begins, and here ends, the story of love, meaning a single glance is all it took.
8
lipaT1 gayaa huN yahi kah ke har musiibat2 se
zamaana3 baa tu na saazad4, tu baa zamaana saaz 1.embrace 2.difficulty, hardship 3.times, world 4.shaped, adjusted
I have embraced every hardship by saying this: the world does not adjust to you, is not shaped by you, you have to adjust to the world.

zamaana5 kis liye baiThaa hai gosh6-bar7-aavaaz 1.breaking, defeat 2.self-control 3.moment 4.near at hand 5.world 6.ear 7.on
The moment of losing self-control may be near; that is probably why the world is sitting, waiting eagerly with ears focused on my sound (of wailing).

tamaam3 ranj-o-musiibat4, tamaam soz-o-gudaaz5 1.very well, beautifully 2.pen-name 3.all, embodiment 4.pain and suffering 5.burning and anguish
Someone has said it beautifully, o sahr: the heart is an embodiment of pain and suffering, it is all burning and anguish.
