Dr. Naseem Tahir Zaidi - A poet with a difference

Dr. Naseem Tahir Zaidi.....our pyare abbu was a poet beyond his years....  some excerpts from his  mujmua....Khoon  - E -Tammanna Udh jati hai aakhon se needen, kab chain se pal bhar sota hai, Seene me uthte hain toofan jab khoone tammanna hota hai. A ghazal from the same book.............. kashitiye jaan meri aa pahunchi kinare zindagi Kiyon mujhe karti aab dilkash ishare zindagi apne pane gum hai sab ke apni apni hai khushi koi hans kar tau koi ro kar guzare zindagi, char din tum se juda rah kar hua ehsaas ye kat na payegi tumhare bin sahare zindagi jaan de kar bhi bashar makrooz rehta hai tera karz tera kis tarah koi utare zindagi

Of What is left Undone - May be my poem has an ending ....not sure if its finished

Well as you can see that I am back on my blog. Hopefully with the turn of recent events I will be able to bring my poem to an ending. I am not sure whether it would have an appropriate finish. 25 years was a long wait......

A chat to remember

50 min. chat on meeting a once close friend after 25 yrs set me thinking..It made me review my view of things..not that z view pt was wrong, on the contrary was more mature and realistic however I am not tuned to thinking that way. I do not find human relationships as simple that I can deem them not to matter after a passage of time. Human relationships for me arnt electric switches that can be on or off. With me, it takes years to develop a view or an opinion and it takes something as drastic to change or alter. What ever be the case this meeting will be with me for a long to come to dwell upon and may be in our next meeting after the next 25 years I can prove to him that my viewpoint though not as realistic is more humane.
