Mostly his creations are in devotion of his Nizam (master) and they are portrayed in a way a beloved is talking about her lover.

He said that his identity is dissolved in Him with that look; they both have become one.  Elaborated Here.  छाप तिलक सब छीनी रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके, प्रेम भटी का मदवा पिलाइके, मतवारी कर लीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके, गोरी गोरी बईयाँ, हरी हरी चूड़ियाँ, बईयाँ पकड़ धर लीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके, बल बल जाऊं मैं तोरे रंग रजवा, अपनी ...

Literature in Motion #1 DDLJ Movies considered as Literature in Motion and keeping that concept in mind I am trying here to present that literature in a poem. Its an experiment and what better than all time favorite magnum opus Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaenge (DDLJ) to start this. I have tried to poetically display Raj & Simran's love story in hope that you will like it.  A girl full of hopes & dream, a boy with fun & gleam met in a Euro rail trip. girl missed the train, boy do the same, there life then flip. Girl was on vacation but on her father's condition, in India she has to marry in her father's relation. Raj (boy) &  Simran's  (girl) love bloomed, in journey but it never groomed. they left each-other there love untold, they left forever there love untold. Raj realized and went to her to express, however they went to India to avoid distress. sad in her memory his charm gone, his father encouraged 'get her come on' In India they met, she told t...

प्यार की राह चुने। (Pyaar Ki Raah Chune) Season of love starts with valentine week i.e the various days denoted to express your feelings for somebody. Feb 7 is Rose Day, Feb 8 is Propose Day then comes Chocolate Day, Teddy Day, Promise Day, Hug Day, Kiss Day and finally Valentine Day from 9th to 14th February respectively. I believe that love needs no day to express but in the popular culture if we have a dedicated day for it enjoy it fully with your loved one. Here in this Hindi poem there is a conversation between a boy and a girl of expressing their love for each other. They think that the world and the society always remain against those who love so they must unite without thinking about anybody but only about their love. They decided to walk on the path of love leaving hatred aside. I hope you will enjoy this poem. Happy Valentine Day.   प्रेमी (Premi) : तेरी बाँहों में आराम मिले, न इससे भला कोई काम मिले, दुनिया को भुलाये बैठा हूँ, तेरी यादों में खोया रहता हूँ।  Teri Ba...
