“Raat bhar gaanv dil ka sulagataa
rahaa
Zindagi Aasaron mein sisakti
rahi.
Chaand baithaa munderon pe galtaa
rahaa
Chaandini chhaparon se tapakti
rahi.....
Ek viyogan ne kuttiya ki dehleez
par
Pass tulsi ke jaltaa diyaa rakh
diya,
Koyee Chanchal hawaa Aa ke gul
kar gayi,
Bujhtay bujhtay bhi baati mehakti
rahi”
(Bekal Utsaahi)

Pehley tum waqt ke maathe ki
lakeeron se milo
jao footpath ke bikhre hue heeron
se milo
ishrat-e-husn mein masroof to
rehtay ho magar
waqt mil jaaye to ham jaise
faqeeron se milo”

“ Tera dam hai to bahaaron ko
sukoon hai Bekal
fir tere baad kahaan baagh
bageeche honge."

Khet ka mukhdaa Badraa taakay
Roop dulhan ka achraa taakay
Saanjh ki chhaiyaan takkay savera
Gaanv takkay veerani..
Ram jaane re……. kab baresegaa
paani
Saawan bhaadon sadhu ho gaye
Baadal sab sanyaasi
Pachhuvaa choos gayyi purvaa ko
Dharti reh gayyi pyaasi
Faslon ne bairaag le liyaa
Jogiyaa ho gayi dhaani
Ram Jaane re ..kab barsegaa
paani.
Tal talyeiya Maati chaate
Nadiyaa reit chabaaye
Kuvein mein makdi jaala taane
Nahrein cheel udaayein
*Ubhahan se Gagri roothi hai
Panghat se Bahuraani
Ram Jaane re … Kab barsegaa
paani..
Chhappar paar dopehariyaa baithi
Dhoop tangii aanganaayi
Dwaar ka bargadh thoonth ho gayaa
Ujarr Gayi Amaraayi
Chaupaalon se khalihaanon tak
Suraj ki manmaani
Ram jaane re....Kab barsegaa
paani..
Adds AdarshAzad Arora son of well known Urdu poet and csholar Prof.
Jagan Nath Azad ,
“The last times I met him were
during his younger days and my boyhood. He was close to our family. I would
address him as uncle. His ghazal in the Republic Day mushaira was a hit,
"Teri parchayeen se tamir
karun taj mahal,
aa tujhe geet ka andaz e tarannum
de dun,
Aey meri jane ghazal...."
Another was,
"Amar jawan sipahiyo, watan
tumhare sath hai...."
A line in it went, "Dulhan
tumhare sath hai..."
When Bekal sahib came home, my
mother told him, much to his happiness, that my little sister always asked,
"Dulhan tumhare sath hai wale uncle kab Aayen ge".
For his contribution to National Integration ,Bekal
Utsaahi has been awarded this year’s Yash Bharti award that carries a cash
prize of 11 lakhs .
