Ana_Dobarah,

Its really okay, I only thought I should correct you, because I noticed that the author himself has used it incorrectly in ``Hayaat-e-Nau``. I thougt he`d take a look too.

lol and I`m glad your Arabic teacher told you it means ``of`` but its out of syllabus though , because its actually Persian in which E means ``of`` :-) In Arabic its ``ul`` :-) lol

Love & Respect!
Paagal Insaan

PaagalInsaan,
[because its actually Persian in which E means ``of`` :-) In Arabic its ``ul``]LOL.a few pagals like you and the chowk will be known as the nerds center ;))

Maybe the poet means ``droplet of a life`s begining`` and would that be
in consonance with the ``qatra-e- hayaat-e-nau``???
Was`nt it called `` shayeraana ta`alli``.

Paagal insaan...
but isn`t it true that in Arabic as well they use short vowels like E to indicate some form of possession, or perhaps they`re adjectival...or am I confusing all these languages like I did when I was in college with french, italian and spanish...that was bad enough!
love and thoroughly confused,
ana

farmatay hain InsaaN ji
eh’l e sukhan ki baataiN
zindagi maut aur ranjish
souz, saaz paich o taab rumi
aalimouN falsafiouN
kay shikway shikayataiN
kya laina daina humaiN?

humaiN to sunao kuch
ghubaar e dil ki baataiN
woh bay a’waaz aah, woh dar`d
woh baar baar dar ko tak`na
woh intizar, woh bay chaini
her guzarnay walay ko
oon ka qaasid samajhna
aap is dayar e ghair maiN
woh pardes maiN meh’v e tann
dono tuk’tuki baNdhay
phone ko, screen ko, dur ko
aisay hee bay chaini say
ghoortay daikhtay hoNgay?
kuch to bataiN humaiN
kuch to sunaiN humaiN.

Dear KhamKhwa,

I agree to your ``speculation`` but I really don`t know where a few more paagals like me will come from. I doubt! Relax :)


``Qatra-e-`` is good for a ``Droplet of``, but ``Hayaat-e-Nau`` is ``New Life``, and not the ``Beginning of Life``. For the latter ``Aaghaaz-e-Hayaat`` is a good term.




Dear Ana,

Confusing Urdu, Persian, and Arabic is an indication of sanity :) Be happy, set fireworks, you`re sane!!!! :) :) :)
