dastak

agar kuch aitebaar ho, to karo
thoda aur intezaar kar sako, to karo
koi aayega, woh dastak liye aayega

dil ko aaram de sako, to do
dil ki awaaz dhoondho, phir sunoo
dil to dil hai, dhak dhak kiye jaayega

zindagi ki rah pe chal sako, to chalo
zinda-dili ka raqs kar sako, to karo
waqt to darya hai, behta chala jaayega

akaash pe urr sako, to uro
sitaron ko chu sako, to chu’o
ye karwaan hai, barhta chala jaayega

ab saansein na baitho pakar
chor do agar ho koi dar
koi aayega, woh dastak liye aayega

  1. I’m glad you found a site that talks about the world economy and fulfills your needs.

    You are more than welcome to get your own blog where you can discuss whatever you please.

    Alternatively, you can continue to use the comments area on this blog as your blog.

    I’m sure you will make the right decision based on your years of experience and wisdom.

  2. Please read the following link: http://www.ft.com/world

    Dastak. Don’t act too smart with your comment. Good you blocked me and yet acting like a sophist in public. You can make that public as well. I mean the fact that you blocked me. Your friends will still appreciate your high sounding gibberish.

    Don’t act too smart. You can make it public that you have blocked me. Your friends will appreciate that as well just like they appreciate your high sounding gibberish one-lined philosophy. You are a real sophist deserve to deliver a lecture at an auditorium of classical Rome!

  4. Don’t act too smart.

    I try, but it’s so so hard.

    You can make it public that you have blocked me.

    If I blocked you, then your comment wouldn’t appear. I wasn’t thinking of blocking you, and I will not block you. However, in return, I ask that you grow up.

    Your friends will appreciate that as well just like they appreciate your high sounding gibberish one-lined philosophy.

    As I said, this is my blog. As a result, I choose what I post here. You are more than welcome to start your own blog and post your own gibberish which your friends will appreciate.

    You are a real sophist deserve to deliver a lecture at an auditorium of classical Rome!

    Sounds like a plan, you set the stage, and I’ll deliver the lecture.

    But in all seriousness, you’re spamming now. That’s not nice. Your time is valuable and you should spend it doing better things.

  5. I don’t spam. You know what I mean? I only mean you people should discuss the current economic crisis that has gripped the world today. If you youngsters are not going to discuss who else will discuss? You waste time in posting here on Dil Se! I ask kindly tell me how important is that for the current scenario? Just make it clear that you are not interested in the contemporary economic problem. The kind of blogging and commenting that is going on here is a kind of a gang rape! I only mean discuss something meaningful instead of Dil se kind of posting. You know what I mean? Just do it and I shall participate in it.

  6. Actually, you /are/ spamming.

    I discuss on the blog what I want and when I want. You could have asked nicely, instead you went the ad hominem route. So no. If you want a discussion on the economy then go somewhere where the economy is being discussed.

    If you want me to participate in an economic discussion, start your own blog, write up an engaging post and then invite me (in a polite manner) to participate in the discussion, and I will.

    What you’re doing right now is not working and it will not work. I’m sorry, it won’t work.

    Maybe you should learn proper ways of engaging the youth. Currently, your techniques are failing.

    re gang rape, don’t be an asshole.

  7. Which corporation in Toronto is paying you to divert the attention of youth from the urgent issues facing us? What is your family bank balance and your total asset? Many of my friends are spending far too much time visiting and commenting on your ridiculous blog thus wasting their potentiality! You know what I mean? Your blog is absolutely worthless in a sense that you focus far too much time on nothing fruitful! Any cursory glance at your blog archives will prove this! By doing so you are diverting the attention of youth in Toronto from focusing on pressing issues. That is why I ask you: Which corporation in Toronto is paying you?

  8. Which corporation in Toronto is paying you?

    I would tell you, but then I’d have to use my memory loss device on you.

    I will come out and categorically state that this is an absolutely worthless blog. If you want to do something meaningful, do not comment here.

    If you comment here, you are stupid and worthless. There, I said it. If you have a response to this, please comment here.

  9. I comment here not because I wanted to comment. I comment here for the sake of my majority of friends who are wasting their time away visiting and commenting on this worthless blog. You know what I mean? They have a potentiality for the critical thinking but your blog is preventing their potentiality getting realized. It appears that you are completely alienated from your surrounding economic problem or else paid by corporation in Toronto to act the way you act. That Dil Se post of yours is still affecting me! Absolutely worthless post completely out of world at a time where there is a serious crisis worldwide. You know what I mean?

  10. Okay, you’ve made your point. In a very convincing and gentlemanly manner might I add.

    As much as I’m enjoying our conversation, I’m not sparring with you anymore. (That seems like an even more worthless endeavor than my blog).

    I would like to say however:

    dil to aakhir dil hai na
    meethi si mushkil hai na

    dil hai to phir dard hoga
    dard hai to dil bhi hoga
    mausam guzarte rehte hai
    dil se dil se dil se re

    =)

  11. Nice reply! A sign of confirmation that a corporation is paying you in Toronto. Good that you have accepted that a corporation is paying you far too much money to divert the attention of people who have flair for critical thinking. State very clearly to us the name of the corporation and spell out your coolie and family asset as well!

  12. salaam dastak,
    do we know you?
    you sound similar — frighteningly similar.

    so, 1: identify yourself.
    my name is zainab. what’s yours?

    you can choose to be anon, dastak, but your preference for anonymity partially reduces any validity your point/s may have.
    say what you wish to, but say it with your name. or are you afraid? is big brother watching?

    2: who are these “friends” in toronto whose supposed “critical thinking” skills you are attempting to salvage? how do they feel about you assuming that they can’t speak and comment for themselves, but need you to do it for their sake?

    3: thirdly, despite your offensives, adnan has not launched an ad hominem on you; why have you stooped to that? you even insulted his family, dude. tcha. vekkama illa?

    4. you understand a blog is a personal thing? a blog — and adnan’s, especially — is akin to a window into a person’s being. we, as passers-by, are privileged to be able to see and speak here. and you have abused this. think: adnan could have blocked you with a click, but the fact that he didn’t says much, illeya?

    5. did you not watch dil se? all the songs are either embedded or backdropped against the political, economic, and social crises surrounding kashmir. so your point re. the relevance of dil se is irrelevant. and anyway, who in the name of sundaikkas made you relevance-police?

    finally, if you care so much about the economic crisis, why are you here, instead of out there?

    i really hope you aren’t who i suspect you are.
    because if you are, then God save you.

  13. Who are you? Where did you jump from suddenly? I never knew that there are so many strange dragons that adnan has caught and will let loose at a time of his crisis? Which corporation is paying you by the way?

  14. I apologize to you for the rudeness. Not to those two strangers but since you are insisting – yes I apologize them as well for the rudeness. But I part with a message. The mechanics of beehive as I notice is working fine. In the aura of over seduction the participating members of the hive are not realizing that they are accumulating not honey but poison! As an outsider I tried to have a glance at it. I can only make an appeal to the chief mechanic of the hive that is you. So I request you to make sure that what ever you post here you wish shall remain. It is up to your choice. But make sure that your friends stay focussed on their work because many of them happened to be my friends as well. I haven’t received the reply in this blog from people whom I expected will reply but only strangers. Good luck to your ventures. You appear a good hearted man. I accept whatever you brand me because am so at the end of the day.

  15. Okay, I said I wouldn’t reply to you anymore, but this is just plain silly.

    You can take digs at me and that’s fine, but you should really apologize to Geetha and Zainab for your rudeness. You are lucky these Dragons are breathing flowers and not fire.

    Which corporation is paying you by the way?

    Campbell’s Soup.

    This is really the last comment I’m making out to you. You’ve been given enough attention and enough a platform. As a black man running for US president once said: Enough.

  17. O shut up yaar, enjoy the verses and talk good or just keep away from the faltooness if you so dislike it.
    Adnan, instead of wasting time with ‘unworthiness’, how about you read that poem too and post it up!? 😀

  18. maria, eid mubarak btw.

    also, i tried recording this a few times, but i can’t quite get it to sound like how i think it ought to sound.
