On being
together – Shayaari
Tum mere
paas hote ho goya
Jab koi
doosra nahin hota……..Momin
It is as
if, you are there with me
When no
other person is!
OR
You are there with me when I am all alone and there is no one around!
Wow!
What a pregnant lyrical simple and yet complete couplet!
Either
we are with someone or with no one….but here the poet says both with the use of
a rare word “goya” meaning “as if or when”. He says he is alone. And yet in his
solitude, if finds his lover present. To say that he is alone and in solitude,
he describes it as ‘when no other person is there with me’. Wow! Such beauty!
No
doubt, Mirza Ghalib said he can exchange his entire Diwan (collection of his
entire poems) with just this couplet of Momin’s.
The beauty
of this couplet like many in Urdu shayaari is that the lover can be treated as
both human and the Almighty!
And apply
this to the Lord God, how right it fits there too!
Meanings

Goya –
