होली के त्योहार पर आपको हार्दिक बधाई कोमल जी। मुझे बिहार और उत्तर प्रदेश जैसा होली कहीं भी फील नही हुआ। वैसे अब इस रंग के त्योहार मे लोग यहां भी वो उत्साह नही दिखाते जो हम सालों पहले देखा करते थे।
पर इन्तजार हम वैसे ही इस त्योहार का करते है जैसे पहले भी किया करते थे।

Mir and tradition of Holi in Awadh

Holi in Awadh is one festiaval that transcends all boundaries. Tradition of syncretic culture and Holi goes long back and when its reached its zenith at the time of Asaf-ud-Daula. Khudaye sukahn Mir attests it,

Holi khele aasafuddaula wazir,rang saubat se ajab hain khurdopeer

kumkume jo maarte bharkar gulaal jiske lagta aan kar phir mehadi laal

(Asafuddaula vizier plays holi, Drenched in colours the young and old,
Throwing colours that leave a perfumed spot,The one being hit goes red like mehendi)


In later years, Meer was so enamored of Lucknow’s Holi that it often reflected in his poetry:

Aao saathi bahaar phir aayi ,holi mein kitni shadiyaan laayi

jis taraf dekho marka sa hai Shahar hai ya koi tamaasha hai

thal bhar bhar abeer late hain gul ki patti mila udaate hain


(Come mates, it’s spring again, Holi has brought forth so many joys,
A war of sorts as far as the eye can see, Is this a city or a circus?
They bring discs loaded with colours, And throw them mixed with petals).


Not just Meer, another famed poet, who travelled from Delhi over to Lucknow, Saadat Yaar Khan “Rangeen”, was also drenched in the spirit of Lucknow’s holi:

Bhar ke pichkaariyon mein rangeen rang ,naazneen ko khilaayi holi sang

baadal aaye hain ghir gulaal ke laal, kuch kisi ka nahi kisi ko khayal

bhar ke pichkaari who jo hai chalaak maarti hai kisi ko door se taak

jisne daala hai hauz mein jisko woh ye kahti hai kos kar usko


ye hansi teri bhaad mein jaaye, tujhko holi na doosri aaye

(With spray guns full of colors, They play Holi with delicate beauties
Clouds of colour burst forth Nobody cares for anything or anyone
The crafty ones load their spray guns, And ambush others from afar
The one who has been thrown in the tub, Curses the one who throws her

May your laughter go to hell, May you never see another Holi).

The last Nawab of Oudh, Wajid Ali Shah, was himself a major Holi enthusiast. He not only played it with gusto, but has also written several compositions. One of his Thumris:

Moray kaanha jo aaye palat ke, abke holi main kheloongi dat ke

unke peeche main chupke se jaake , ye gulaal apne tan se lagaake

rang doongi unhe bhi lipat ke

(When my Krishna comes back to me, I’m going to play Holi with him with intensity,

I’ll sneak up on him from behind, I’ll cover myself in gulaal, And I’ll colour him with my body)


Another story, may be apocryphal is associated with Wajid Ali Shah, that once Muhharm a day of mourning and Holi fell on the same day. King decided separate timings and both were observed, one with sadness and other with gaiety.

But this syncretic tradition of HOLI of Awadh goes back to Mughals.

Holi would be celebrated on the same scale as Eid in the Red Fort or Qila e Moalla (Exalted Palace). It was called Eid e gulaabi or Aab-e-Pashi (Shower of Colourful Flowers), with everyone joining in.

Bahudar Shah Zafar (1775–1862) would join the celebration with great gusto and enthusiasm and mingle with his subjects. He wrote a song for the occasion:

Kyun mope maari rang ki pichkaari ,dekh kunwarji du’ngi gaari

(Why have you squirted me with colour? O Kunwarji I will swear at you)

bhaaj saku’n main kaise moso bhaajo nahin jaat, thaa’ndi ab dekhu’n main baako kaun jo sun mukh aat

(I can’t run, I am unable to run, I am now standing here and want to see who can drench me)

Bahut dinan mein haath lage ho kaise jaane deoon, Aaj main phagwa ta sau Kanha faita pakad kar leoon.


(After many days have I caught you, how can I let you go, I will catch you by your cummerbund and play Holi with you)


And let share a song of Gauhar jaan the first Indian singer to be recorded,

Mere Hazrat ne Madeene mein manaayi Holi.

बधाई, शुभकामनाएं होली के गुलाल के साथ

बात आपकी एकदम सही है जीवन की इस आपाधापी में जिंदगी के रंग धूमिल पड़ गए हैं

बस इसलिए इन थ्रेड्स के जरिये कुछ यादों में कुछ गानों में कुछ किस्से कहानियों में कुछ फंतासियों में उन पलों को थोड़ा बहुत फिर से जी लेने की कोशिश करती हूँ।

रखो आंखे खुली ये
होठों के सिल जाने की होली है
जो बिछड़े है कभी हमसे
मिल जाने की होली है

उसी की बांह से निकल
जाना चाहते है हम
जिसकी बाहों में सिमट कर
खिल जाने की होली है

शुभ प्रभात


होली की शुभकामनाएं
बहुत बहुत शुभकामनाएं होली की

कौन रंग फागुन रंगे, रंगता कौन वसंत?
प्रेम रंग फागुन रंगे, प्रीत कुसुंभ वसंत।

चूड़ी भरी कलाइयाँ, खनके बाजू-बंद,
फागुन लिखे कपोल पर, रस से भीगे छंद।
