Niyet E Shauq Bhar Na Jaye | Himani Kapoor | Prithvi Gandharv | Madam Noor jahan | Suristaan Music

 

The ghazal's central theme revolves around the fear of love's intensity fading and the fear of the beloved becoming a stranger. The poet expresses a deep-seated anxiety that the current moment of union or passion might be temporary.

Let's look at the key couplets (ash'ar) to understand the nuances:

• "Niyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahin / Tu bhi dil se utar na jaaye kahin"

  • Translation: "May the intention of desire not be satiated / May you not be forgotten by my heart."

  • Meaning: This is the matla (opening couplet) and the core idea. The poet fears that the very fulfillment of his desire might lead to its end. He wants the intensity of his "shauq" (desire or passion) to remain forever and worries that his beloved might one day lose their place in his heart.

• "Aaj dekha hai tujh ko der ke baad / Aaj ka din guzar na jaaye kahin"

  • Translation: "I have seen you today after a long time / May this day not pass by."

  • Meaning: This couplet captures the bittersweet feeling of a long-awaited reunion. The poet is so overcome with emotion that he fears this precious day will end too quickly, and the memory of this moment might be lost.

• "Na mila kar udaas logon se / Husn tera bikhar na jaaye kahin"

  • Translation: "Don't associate with sad people / Lest your beauty scatter and fade away."

  • Meaning: This line is a fascinating mix of advice and concern. The poet worries that the beloved's beauty and spirit might be tainted by the sadness of others. It's a way of saying, "Your essence is so pure; don't let it be diminished by the world's melancholy."

• "Aao kuch der ro hi len 'Nasir' / Phir ye dariya utar na jaaye kahin"

• Translation: "Let's cry for a little while, 'Nasir' / Let this river (of tears/emotions) subside."

• Meaning: This is the maqta (closing couplet) where the poet uses his pen name. It's a powerful and poignant call to embrace sadness and release emotions. The "dariya" (river) can be interpreted as the wellspring of their feelings, and the poet fears that if they don't express it, this emotional flow might dry up forever.
