ROZ EK SHER

दिल-ए-नादां तुझे हुआ क्या है
आख़िर इस दर्द की दवा क्या है
हम हैं मुश्ताक़ और वो बेज़ार
या इलाही ये माजरा क्या है
-ग़ालिब

dil-e-naadaan tujhe huaa kyaa hai
aakhir is dard kii davaa kyaa hai
hum hain mushtaaq aur vo bezaar
yaa ilaahii ye maajaraa kyaa hai
-Ghalib

O innocent heart, what happened to you
What is the cure for this affliction
My affections are met with coldness
O God, what is happening?

Dedicated to Mir Taqi Mir, my favourite Urdu poet

रेख़्ते के तुम्हीं उस्ताद नहीं हो ग़ालिब
कहते हैं अगले ज़माने में कोई मीर भी था

rekhte ke tumhii ustaad nahiin ho Ghalib
kahte hain agle zamaane mein koii Mir bhii thaa

You are not the only master of Urdu, o Ghalib
In an earlier era they say that Mir was supreme

DHATU-RATNAKARA
(Ocean of Verb-Forms)
By Muni Lavanyavijaya
Sanskrit
Set of 5 Books
Edited by Dr. Omnath Bimali
2004    240 x 185 mm    3000 pp (in 5 books)
Hardback    Rs. 3500 per set

   The grammatical description of verbs plays a pivotal role in the
study of Sanskrit. In Sanskrit, the description of verb forms is a
prominent feature of any grammatical work. Dhatupatha is the basic &
primary component of the description of verb forms. Many Sanskrit
grammarians have collated all the verbs in Sanskrit and illustrated
their verb forms using different methodologies.

   'Dhaturatnakara' follows the methodolgy adopted by
Hemacandracarya's Haima Vyakarana. This work has been rendered by the
disciple of Acarya Vijayanemisuri, Muni Lavanyavijaya, who went on to
become Acarya Vijayalavanya Suri. His editing is so thorough, that it
is unlikely that any Dhaturupa or verb form of Sanskrit has been
overlooked in this veritable ocean of verb-forms.

   'Dhaturatnakara' not only complements Haima Vyakarana; it is a
model grammatical work on Sanskrit Dhatus, and a must-have for every
student and scholar of Sanskrit grammar.

   The title of each volume is given below:

   Volume 1 : Tinantaprakriya
   Volume 2 : Nigantaprakriya
   Volume 3 : Sannantaprakriya tatha Yanantprakriya
   Volume 4 : Yanluvantaprakriya tatha Namadhatuprakriya
   Volume 5 : Bhavakarmaprakriya

The five volumes are attractively published using a fresh typeface;
reasonably priced; more importantly, the proof reading is impeccable!

ROZ EK SHER

अच्छा, यक़ीं नहीं है तो किश्ती डुबो के देख
इक तू ही नाख़ुदा नहीं ज़ालिम, ख़ुदा भी है
-क़तील शिफ़ाई

acchhaa, yaqiin nahiin hai to kishtii dubo ke dekh
ik tuu hii naakhudaa nahiin zaalim, khudaa bhii hii
-Qatil Shifai

Well, if you have no faith, try sinking this ship
You aren't the only boatman, cruel one, god is there too

पैले नैणानुं समझाणा सी, फिर दोष न सांनू लाणा सी
तेरे नैणा शराबी तक तक के, सांनू जे मस्ती चढदी ना
तौहीन सी तेरे नैणा दी, साडा तो कुज नईं जाणा सी
-अनजान

You should have looked at your eyes before blaming me!
Had I not been lost in gazing at their intoxicating beauty,
It would have been an insult to them, so I am not to blame.
