Mehfil-e-Musings

Sorry about the tacky title for this post. Social media tends to bring out the different avatars in us - some we are aware of; but mostly ones we have no clue about. Well... some of us were exchanging innocuous conversation (on WhatsApp) about what we were doing - for those in the US it was a Saturday morning and for our pals in India, it was Saturday evening. Need I stress (to give you some context for what is to follow here) - a weekend evening? As this information on a weekend's potential dos and actual shouldn'ts unravelled, a couple of us exchanged a few verses in Hindi-Urdu; not quite shayari, but kinda shayarana musings(if you will)... Here let me share those few verses and a part of the inspirational conversation -

Person A: Hi.. anybody there?
Person B: Teri tanhai
Person C: ...aur tu
Person C: Relaxing at home, B?
Person B: At a friend's place. Having Satyanarayana Puja prasad on a Saturday night :-(

Sipra: 
Tanha ka tha alam
Alarm kahin baji
Aur kahin thi shaam
Kuchh dost, kuchh yaar
Wahan bhi the
Par mehfil to bas yahin hai.

Sid:
Ye tere do labz
Zindagi taaza kar gayi
Viraaniyon me mehfil
Ruswayi mein thandak layi
Ay dost tu aise hi shaamil ho,
Mere caravan mein,
Yeh meri dua hai
