Ghazal in Hindi: वो जो आगे निकल गए हैं

वो जो आगे निकल गए हैं is a ghazal in hindi which laments the arrogance induced by abundance and acknowledges being clutched thyself

Successful Woman

This ghazal in hindi is an attempt to underscore the arrogance induced by wealth amongst many of us. People (me included) enjoy the display of abundance and conveniently forget that their fortunes are influenced by the kindness of the almighty (Rabb). This behavior is induced by ‘us’, as we have come to appreciate and idolize those with material success. Some of us detest it though, but ironically only till the time we don’t step into abundance!

Hope this reminds us all to be grateful and kind!

Here it goes: वो जो आगे निकल गए हैं, a ghazal in hindi


माना कुछ लोग ज़िन्दगी में आगे निकल गए हैं
सफर की भूख में वो कई रिश्ते निगल गए हैं

अक्सर मोल बताते हैं वो अपनी महंगी गाड़ी का
भूल गए हैं घमंड की आग में कई तख़्त पिघल गए हैं

सभी का नसीब लिखने वाला एक है
उसकी मेहरबानी को वो अपना हक़ समझ मचल गए हैं

अफ़सोस क्या जतायें इस ज़माने में आजकल
हैसियत परखने के पैमाने जो बदल गए हैं

तौबा करते हैं गुरूर दौलत से जो भरी महफ़िल में
‘शोरी’ किस्मत बदलते ही वो भी फिसल गए हैं
