Gani Dhaiwala - Gujarati Ghazals

For those who have liked the Gujarati Language for long but have not keenly followed the great works in the form of Poetry called Ghazals, here are 2 of very best of Gani Dahiwala :

(This song was originally sung by Mohd. Rafi)

(Have translated this in Hindi to keep the poetic essence alive)

Divaso Judai Na Jai Chhe
E Jase Jaroor Milan Sudhi,
Maro Haath Jali Ne Lai Jase,
Mujh Satruo J Swajan Sudhi.

(Din Judai ke ja rahe hai,
Zaroor Jayenge ye Milan Tak,
Mera Haath thaam ke le jayenge,
Mere Shatru hi (mere) Swajan tak)

Na Dhara Sudhi Na Gagan Sudhi,
Nahi Unnati Na Patan Sudhi,
Fakat Apne To Javu Hatu,
Are Ek Mek Na Man Sudhi.

(Na Dhara Tak Na hi Gagan tak,
Na Unnati Na Patan Tak,
Bas hum to jana chahte the,
Yuhi Ek Dusre ke Man tak.)

Tame Raank Na Chho Ratan Sama,
Na Malo Ey Aansoon Dhool Ma,
Jo Araj Kabool Ho Atli,
To Hriday thi Jao Nayan Sudhi

(Aap kisi gareeb ke ho ratno jaise,
Aye Aansoon Na Milo yu dhool Mein,
Agar itni si Araj kabool ho,
To Jao Hriday se Nayan Tak)

Tame Raaj-Rani Na Cheer Sam,
Ame Rank Naar Ni Chundadi,
Tame Tan Par raho ghadi-be-ghadi,
Ame Saath Daie Kafan Sudhi.

(Aap Ho Raaj Rani ke Kapdo Jaise,
Hum Chunari, gareeb naari ki,
Aap Tan pe rehte Ghadi-do-ghadi,
Hum saath Dete Kafan tak.)

Jo Hriday Ni Aag Vadhi Gani,
To Khud Eeshware J Krupa Kari,
Koi Shwaas Bandh Kari Gayu,
Ke Pawan Na Jaye Agan Sudhi.

(Gani, Jab Hriday ke aag itni badhi,
To Khud Eshwar ne hi ye Kripa Kari,
Koi Shwaas (Hamare) bandh Kar Gaya,
Ke Ye Hawa Na Jaye Us Aag tak)

(The second song that I like was sung by Hemant Kumar, very Romantic)

Tamara Ahi Aaj Pagla Thavana,
Chaman Ma Badha Ne Khabar Thayi Gayi Chhe,
Jhukavi Chhe Gardan Badhi Daaliyo E,
Phoolo Ni Ye Neechi Najar Thayi Gayi Chhe.

(Aapke kadam aaj Yaha Padenge,
Sab Ko Chaman mein Khabar Ho Chali Hai,
Jhukadi Hai Gardan Harek Dali ne,
Phoolo Ki bhi neechi Nazar ho chali hai)

Sharam Ne Kahi Do Saghalu Juey Chhey
Kadi Paandiyon Na Padde Rahi Ney
Kharu Jo Kahi Daun To Vaatavaran Par
Tamaara Nayan Ni Asar Thayi Gayi Chhey

(Sharm Ko Kehdo ke Sab kuch Dekhti hai,
Kali aur Patto ka Parda bana kar,
Sach agar jo Kehdu to Mausam pe,
Aapki Aankhon ki Asar ho chali hai)

Upasthit Tamey Chho To Laage Chhey Upavan
Kalakaar Nu Chitra Sampoorna Jaaney
Tamey Jo Na Ho To Badha Kahi Uthe Ke
Vidhaata To Koi Kasar Thayi Gayi Chhey

(Aap Ke hone se lagta hai ye Gulshan,
Kalakar ka jaise Koi Sampoorna Chitra,
Agar Aap na ho to Sab Keh uthenge,
Vidhaata se koi Kasar reh gai hai )
