Kabhi-kabhi merey dil mein khayaal aata hai

Kabhi-kabhi merey dil mein khayaal aata hai
Ki zindagi teri zulfon ki narm chhaon mein guzar na paati to shaadab ho bhi
sakti thi

Yeh ranj-o-gham ki siyahee jo dil pay chhayee hai
Teri nazar ki shuaon mein kho bhi sakti thi
Magar yeh ho na saka...................
Magar yeh ho na saka aur ab yeh aalam hai
Ki tu nahin tera gham teri justjoo bhi nahin
Guzar rahi hai kuch is tarah zindagi jaisay
Isay kisi kay saharay ki aarzoo bhi nahin

Na koi rah na manzil na roshni ka surag
Bhatak rahi hai andheron mein zindagi meri
Inhee andhero mein rah jaaoonga kabhi kho kar
Main jaanta hoon meri hum-nawaz..........
Main jaanta hoon meri hum-nawaz, magar yun hi
Kabhi-kabhi merey dil mein khayaal aata hai
Kabhi-kabhi merey dil mein khayaal aata hai

kisse kya khabhar hai kahan toot jayein
mohabat ke darya mein tinke wafa ke
na jaane yeh kiss mod par doob jayein

ajab dil ki waadi, ajab dil ki basti
har ikk moud ikk mausam nayi khwaisho ka
lagaaye hain hum ne bhi sapnon ke paudhe
magar kya bharosaa yahaan baarishon ka

muraadon ki manzil ke sapnon mein khoye
mohabbat ki raahon pe hum chal pade theyy
zarra door chal kar jabh aankhein khuli to
kaddi dhoop mein hum akele khade' theyy

jinhe dil se chaaha, jinhe dil se poojaa
nazar aa rahe hain wohi ajnabi se
rawaayat hai shaayad yeh sadiyon puraani
shikaayat nahin hai koyee zindagi se

Kachi deewaar hoon, thokar na

Kachi deewaar hoon, thokar na lagaana mujhko
Apni nazaron mein bassakar na giraana mujhko

Tum ko aankhon mein tassavur ki tarah rakhta hoon
Dil mein dhadkan ke tarah tum bhi basaana mujhko

Baat karne mein jo mushkil ho tumhe mehfil mein
main samajh jaoonga, nazaron se bataana mujhko

Wada utna hee karo, jitna nibha sakte ho
khwaab poora jo na ho, woh na dikhaana mujhko

Sonchne ke liye ikk raat ka mauka de de

Apni aankhon mein chuppa rakhein hai jugnoo maine
Apni palko.n par sajha rakhe hain aansoon maine
meri aankhon ko bhi barsaat ka mauka de de

Aaj ki raat mera dard-e-mohabbat sun le
kupkupate hue honthon ki shikaayat sun le

Wo badda raheem-o-kareem hai, mujhe ye sipat bhi aata kare
Tujhe bhoolne ki dua karoo.n, to dua mein meri asar na ho

Kabhi din ki dhoop mein jhoom ke, kabhi shabb ke phool ko choom ke
Yun he saath saath chale' sada, kabhi khatm apna safar na ho

Tujhe dhadkano mein bassa loon mein, ke bichadne ka kabhi darr na ho

Bawafaa bewafaa nahin hota

Bawafaa bewafaa nahin hota
khatam yeh fasla nahin hota

kuchh to majboorian rahi hongi
yoon koi bewafaa nahin hota

jee bahut chahta hai sach bollen
kya karen housla nahin hota

jyada pee kar bahkane lagte hain
kam piyen to nasha nahin hota

raat ka intzaar kaun kare
aajkal din mein kya nahin hota

Gaye dinon ka suragh lekar

Gaye dinon ka suragh lekar, kahan se aaya kahan se gaya woh
Ajeeb manoos ajnabi thaa, mujhe to hairaan kar gaya woh

Bus ek moti si chabb dikha har, bus ek meethi si dunnh suna kar
sitara-e-shaam ban ke aaya, barang-e-khwaab-e-sehar gaya woh

Na abh woh yado.n ka chadta darya, na fursato.n ki uddas barkha
yoonhi zara si kasak hai dil mein, jo zakhm gehra thaa, bhar gaya woh

Woh hijr ki raat ka sitaaa, woh hum-nafas woh hum-sukhan humara
sada rahe uska naam pyaara, suna hai kal raat marr gaya woh


Woh raat ka be-nava musafir, woh tera shayar, woh tera 'Nasir'
teri gali tak to dekha thaa, fhir na jaane' kidhar gaya woh

Yeh haqeeqat to nigahon say bayan hoti hai

Woh na aaye to satati hai khalish see dil ko...
Woh jo aaye to khalish aur jawan hoti hai

Rooh ko shaad karey dil ko jo purnoor karey...
Har nazaaray mein yeh tasveer kahan hoti hai

Sabt-e-sehlaabay mohabbat ko kahan tak rokay...
Dil mein jo baat ho aankho say ayaan hoti hai

Zindagi ek sulgati see chita hai `Sahir'...
Shola banti hain na yeh bhuj kay dhuaan hoti hai

Kaun kehta hai mohabbat ki zuban hoti hai
Yeh haqeeqat to nikhaon say bayan hoti hai

meri Arzoo ki duniya dil-e-natawa ki hasrat
jise kho ke shadman thay usay aaj pa ke roye

teri bewafaiyon par teri kaj adayion par
kabhi sar jhuka ke roye kabhi munh chupa ke roye

jo sunai anjuman mein shab-e-gham ki aap-beeti
kai ro ke muskuraye kai muskura ke roye.

Yaa khuda mera imtihaan na le

Yaa khuda mera imtihaan na le,
kaise jeetha hun yeh bayaan na le!

Badi mushkil se bachke ayaa hun,
Zindagi phir kahin pahachaan na le!

Jaan le le, mera imaan na le!

Maang lega kabhi keemat thujhse,
Bhool kar dost kaa ahsaan na le!

Mangaa tha jise hamne din raath duwaon me!

Yeh chaand bahut bhatka, saawan ki ghataon me!

Is shaher me ek ladki bilkul hai ghazal jaisi,
Phool ka badan waali, khushboo si adaon me!

Duniya ki tarha woh bhi hansthe hai mohobbat par,

Hanste huwe aaye ho, rote huwe jaoge,
Kaante bhi chubhaayenge yeh phul adaon me!

Kuan pehchanega, basti mein agar jaoonga

Tu jahan mujh se kahegi, main utar jaoonga

Phool reh jayenge guldaan mein, yadoon ki nazar...
Main to khusbhu hoon, fhizaon mein bikhar jaoonga


(Album: Tere Sehar mein - Ghulam Ali
Lyrics: Moin Nazar)

tanhaa tanhaa ham ro lenge

tanhaa tanhaa ham ro lenge mehfil mehfil gaayenge
jab tak aaNsuu paas rahenge tab tak giit sunaayenge

tum jo socho vo tum jaano ham to apnii kahate hain
der na karanaa ghar jaane mein varanaa ghar kho jaayenge

bachchon ke chhoTe haathon ko chaaNd sitaare chhuune do
chaar kitaabein paDh kar vo bhii ham jaise ho jaaeyenge

kin raahon se door hai manzil kaun saa rastaa aasaaN hai
ham jab thak kar ruk jaayenge auron ko samajhaayenge

achchhii soorat vaale saare patthar-dil hon mumkin hai
ham to us din raa_e denge jis din dhokaa khaayenge.

Kabhi kisi Ko muqamal jahan

Kabhi kisi Ko muqamal jahan nahi milta
Kahin zameen to kahin Aasman nahi milta

jisse bhi dekhiye woh apne aap mein gumm hai
zubaan milli hai magar hum-zubaan nahi milta

bhuja sakka hai bala kaun waqt ke sholey
yeh aisi aag hai jismein duan nahi milta

tere jehaan mein aisa nahi ki pyaar na ho
jahan umeed ho iski wahan nahi milta

Aankh se door na ho

Aankh se door na ho, Dil se uttar jayega
Waqt ka kya hai, guzarta hai guzar jayega

Itna mayoos na ho, irwat-e-gham se apni
Tu kabhi khud ko bhi dekhega to darr jayega

Tum sare-rah-e-wafa dekhte reh jaaoge
Aur woh bam-e-rafaqat se uttar jayega

Zindagi teri aata hai to yeh jaane wala
Teri bakshish teri dehleez pe dar jayega

Aaina Mujhse Meri Pehli Si

Aaina Mujhse Meri Pehli Si Soorat Maange
Aaina Mujhse Meri Pehli Si Soorat Maange
Mere Apne Mere Hone Ki Nishaani Maangen
Aaina Mujhse Meri Pehli Si Soorat Maange

Main Bhatakta Hi Raha Dard Ke Veeraane Mein
Waqt Likhta Raha Chehre Pe Har Pal Ka Hisaab
Meri Shohrat Meri Deewangi Ki Nazar Hui
Pee Gayee Maiki Botal Mere Geeton Ki Kitaab
Aaj Lauta Hoon To Hansne Ki Adaa Bhool Gaya
Yeh Shahar Bhoola Mujhe, Main Bhi Ise Bhool Gaya
Mere Apne Mere Hone Ki Nishaani Maangen
Aaina Mujhse Meri Pehli Si Soorat Maange

Mera Fun Phir Mujhe Bazaar Mein Le Aaya Hai
Yeh Woh Jah Hai Ki Jahan Mehr-O-Wafa Bikte Hain
Baap Bikte Hain Aur Lakht-E-Jigar Bikte Hain
Kokh Bikti Hai Dil Bikte Hain Sar Bikte Hain
Is Badalti Hui Duniya Ka Khuda Koi Nahin
Saste Daamon Mein Har Roz Khuda Bikte Hain
Bikte Hain, Bikte Hain
Mere Apne Mere Hone Ki Nishaani Maangen
Aaina Mujhse Meri Pehli Si Soorat Maange

Har Khareedaar Ko Bazaar Mein Bikta Paaya
Hum Kya Paayenge Kisi Ne Yahan Kya Paaya
Mere Ehsaas Mere Pul Kahin Aur Chalen
Bol Puja Meri Bachchi Kahin Aur Chale
Aur Chale, Aur Chale

Aahat si koi aaye

Aahat si koi aaye to lagta hai ki tum ho
Saaya koi lehraaye to lagta hai ki tum ho

Jub shaakh koi haath lagate hee chaman mein
Sharmaaye,lachak jaaye, to lagta hai ki tum ho

Raaste ke dhundhalke mein kisi mod pe kuchh door
Ek lau si chamak jaaye to lagta hai ki tum ho

Sandal se mahakti hui purkaif hawa ka
Jhonka koi lehraaye to lagta hai ki tum ho

Odhe hue taaron kee chamaktee hui chaader
nadiya koi bal khaye to lagta hai ki tum ho

Jab raat gaye koi kiran mere barabar
Chupchap se so jaaye to lagta hai ki tum ho.

Meri Zindgi Kisi aur ki

Meri Zindgi Kisi aur ki, Mere naam ka Koi aur hai.
Mera Aks hai sar-e-Aaiina pas-e-Aaiina Koi aur hai.

Meri Dhadkano mein hain chak si, Ye Judai bhi hai milap si.
Mujhe kya pata mere dil bata mere saath kya koi aur hai.

Na gaye dino khabar ko khabar meri, na sharik-e-haal nazar teri.
Tere desh mein Mere bhes mein koi aur tha koi aur hai.

Wo meri taraf NigraaN rahe mera dhyan jaane kahaN rahe.
Meri Aankh maiN kai Soortein, Mujhe Chahta koi aur hai.

Lyrics-Nida Fazli

hum hi mein thee na koi baat

hum hi mein thee na koi baat, yaad hi na tumko aa sake
tumnay hameiN bhula diya hum na tumhe bhula sake

tum hi na sun sake agar kissa-e-gham sunega kaun
kis ki zubaan khulegi phir hum na agar suna sake

shauk-e-visaal hain yahaN lab pe sawaal hai yahaN
kis ki majaal hai yahaN hum se nazar mila sake

Dosti Jabh Kissi se ki jaye

Dosti Jabh Kissi se ki jaye
Dushmano ki bhi raey le jaye

Maut ka zehar hai fizzahon mein
Abh kahan ja ke saans le jaye

Buss issi sonch mein hoon dooba hua
Yeh nadi kaise paar ki jaye

Mere maazi ke zakhm bharne lage
Aaj fhir koi bhool ki jaye

Botalein khol ke to pee barson
Aaj dil khol kar bhi pee jaye

Kahin Aisa na ho daman jala lo

Kahin Aisa na ho daman jala lo
Humare Aansuon par khaak dalo

Manana bhi zaroori hai to fhir tum
Humein sabh se khafha ho kar mana lo

Bahut royi hui lagti hain Aankhein
Meri khatir zara kajal laga lo

Akelepan se khauff aata hai mujhko
Kahan ho aae mere khwabo-khayalo

Bahut maayoos baitha hoon main tumse
Kabhi aakar mujhe hairat mein daalo

manzil na de, charaag na de

manzil na de, charaag na de, hauslaa to de
tinke ka hi sahee, tu magar aasraa to de

maiNe ye kab kaha, ke mere haq meiN ho jawaab
lekin khamosh kyooN hai, tu koi faislaa to de

barsoN maiN tere naam pe khaata raha fareb
mere khuda kahaN hai, tu apna pata to de

beshaq mere naseeb pe, rakh apnaa ikhtiyaar
lekin mere naseeb meiN kya hai bata to de

ye to nahiN ke gam nahiN

ye to nahiN ke gam nahiN
haaN meri aaNkh nam nahiN

tum bhi to tum nahiN ho aaj
hum bhi to aaj hum nahiN

ab na khushi kee hai khushi
gam ka bhi ab to gam nahiN

maut agar che-maut hai
maut se zeest kam nahiN

kabhi to khul ke baras

kabhi to khul ke baras ab ke meherbaaN ki taraH
mera wazood hai jalte huye makaN kee taraH

main ik khwaab sahee aapki amaanat hooN
muJhe sambhaaL ke rakhiyegaa jism-o-jaaN ki taraH

kabhi to soch ke wo saKsh kis kadar tha buland
jo bichh gaya tere kadmoN meiN aasmaaN ki taraH

bula rahaa hai muJhe fir kisi badan ka basanth
guzar na jaaye ye ruth bhi kahiN khizaaN ki taraH

ae khuda ret ke sehra ko

ae khuda ret ke sehra ko samandar kar de
ya chhalakti aanKhoN ko bhi patthar kar de

tuJhko dekha nahiN mehsoos kiya hai maine
aa kisi din mere ehsaas ka paikar kar de

aur kuch bhi muJhe darkaar nahiN hai lekin
meri chaadar mere pairoN ke baraabar kar de

tumne sooli pe latakte

tumne sooli pe latakte jise dekha hoga
waqt aayega wahi shaksh maseeha hoga

khwaab dekha thaa ke sehra meiN basera hoga
kyaa khabar thi ke yahi khwaab to sachcha hoga

maiN fizaaoN meiN bikhar jaaoonga khushboo bankar
rang hoga na badan hoga na chehra hoga

Yaad nahi kya kya dekha thaa

Yaad nahi kya kya dekha thaa, saarey manzar bhool gaye
Uski galiyon se jabh lautey, apna bhi ghar bhool gaye

khoob gaye pardes ki apne dewaar-o-dar bhool gaye
sheesh mahal ne aisa ghera ki mitti ke ghar bhool gaye

Tujh ko bhi jabh apni kasmein apne vaadey yaad nahi
hum bhi apne khwaab teri aankhon mein rakh kar bhool gaye

Mujhko jinho-ne qatl kiya hai, koi unhe batlaaye Nazir
Meri laashh ke pehlu mein woh apna khanjar bhool gaye

Tumne Dil ki Baat keh di

Tumne Dil ki Baat keh di, aaj yeh accha hua
Hum tumhe apna samajhte theey, bada dokha hua

Jabh bhi humne kuch kaha, uska asar ulta hua
Aap shayad bhoolte hain, baar-ha aisa hua

Aapki aankhon mein yeh aansoon kahan se aa gaye
Hum to deewane hain lekin, aapko ye kya hua

Abh kissi se kya kahein, Iqbal apni daastan
bus Khuda ka shukr hai, jo bhi hua accha hua

Yeh jo Zindagi ki Kitaab hai

Yeh jo Zindagi ki Kitaab hai,

Kahin ikk haseen sa khwaab hai
kahin jaan-lewa azaab hai

Kahin chaaon hai kahin dhoop hai
Kahin aur he koi roop hai
kae chehre iss mein chupe hue
ikk ajeeb se yeh naqaab hai

Kahin khho diya kahin paa liya
kahin ro liya kahin gaa liya
kahin cheen leti hai har khushi
kahin meharbaan behisaab hai

Kahin aansu-on ki daastan
kahin musqurahaton ka bayaan
kahin barqaton ki hai barishein
kahin tishna-gi behisaab hai

Baat nikalegi to fhir

Baat nikalegi to fhir doooor talak jayegi
Log bewajha udaasi ka sabab poochenge
Yeh bhi Poochenge ki tum itni pareshaan kyoon ho

Ungliyan uthengi sookhe hue baalon ki taraf
Ikk nazar dekhenge guazre hue saalon ki taraf
Choodiyon par bhi kae tanz kiye jayeinge
Kaanpte hue haathon pe bhi fikre kasse jayeinge

Log zalim hain, har ikk baat ka taana denge
Baton baton mein mera zikr bhi le aayenge
Baton baton mein mera zikr bhi le aayenge
Unki Baaton ka zara sa bhi asar mat lena
Warna chehre ke tasur se samajh jayeinge

Chahe kucch bhi ho, sawalaat na karna unse
Chahe kucch bhi ho, sawalaat na karna unse
Mere barein mein koi baat na karna unse

Baat nikalegi to fhir dooor talak jayeegi

Raat bhi, neendh bhi, Kahaani bhi

Raat bhi, neendh bhi, Kahaani bhi
Hai kya cheez hai jawani bhi

Dil ko sholon se karte hain sailaab
Zindagi aag bhi hai paani bhi

Khalq kya kya mujhe nahi kehti
Kucch sunu main teri zubaani bhi

Paas rehna kissi ka raat ki raat
Mehmaani bhi meezbaani bhi

Umr jalwon mein basar ho

Umr jalwon mein basar ho, yeh zaroori to nahi
Har Sabh-e-gham ki Sehar ho, yeh zaroori to nahi

Cheshm-e-saaqi se piyo, ya labb-e-sagar se piyo
Bekhudi aathon pehar ho , yeh zaroori to nahi

Neendh to Dard ke bistaar pe bhi aa sakti hai
Unki Aagosh mein sarr ho , yeh zaroori to nahi

Sheikh karta to hai Masjid mein Khuda ko sajde'
Uske sajd-on mein asar ho, yeh zaroori to nahi

Sabh ki nazron mein ho Saaqi (God) yeh zaroori hai magar
sabh pe Saaqi ki Nazaar ho, yeh zaroori to nahi

Dost ban ban ke mile mujhko

Dost ban ban ke mile mujhko mitaane wale
Maine dekhe hain kaee rang badalne wale

Tum ne chup reh kar sitam aur bhi dhaya mujhe par
Tum se acche hain mere haal pe hansne wale

Main to ikhlaak ke hathon hi bika karta hoon
Aur honge tere bazar mein bikne wale

Akhri baar salaamein dil-e-muztar le lo
Fhir na lautenge shab-e-hijr ke rone' wale

Dost ban ban le mile mukjo mitaane wale

Dil mein na ho juraat to

Dil mein na ho juraat to Mohabbat nahi milti
Khairaat mein itni Baddi daulat nahi milti

Kuch Log Yun hi Shaher mein hum se bhi Khafa Hain
Har ek se Apni bhi tabiyat nahi milti

Dekha Tha Jisse maine koi aur thaa shayaad
Woh kaun hai jiss se teri soorat nahi milti

Hanste Huye chheron se hai Bazaar ki Zeenat
Rone ko yahan Waise Bhi Fursat nahi milti

Kisi Ranjish ko hawa do

Kisi Ranjish ko hawa do
ke main zinda hoon abhi
Mujhko ehsaas dila do
ke main zinda hoon abhi

Mere rukne se
meri saansein bhi ruk jayeingi
faasle aur badha do
ke main zinda hoon abhi

zehar peene ki
to aadat thi zamaane walo
Abh koi aaur dawa do
ke main zinda hoon abhi

Chalti rahon mein
yoon hi aankh lagi hai Faqie
bheed logo ki hata do
ke main zinda hoon abhi

Koi yeh Kaise bataye

Koi yeh Kaise bataye ki woh tanha kyoon hai
Woh jo apna thaa wohi aur kissi ka kyoon hai
yehi duniya hai to fhir aisi yeh duniya kyoon hai..
yehi hota hai to akhir yehi hota kyoon hai

Ek zara haath badda dein to pakad le daman
Uske seene mein samma jaye humari dhadhkan
itni kurbat hai to fhir fasla itna kyoon hai

Dil-e-barbad se nikla nahi abh tak koi
Ikk lutte ghar pe diya karta hai dastak koi
aaas jo toot gayi fhir se bandata kyoon hai

Tum massarat ka kaho ya isse gumm ka rishta
kehte hain pyaar ka rishta hai janam ka rishta
hai janam ka rishta to badalta kyoon hai

Tere khusbhoo mein buse khat

Tere khusbhoo mein buse khat main jalata kaise ?
Pyar mein doobe hue khat main jalata kaise ?
Tere haathon ke likhe khat main jalata kaise ?

Jinko duniya ki nigaho se chuppaye rakha
jinko ikk ummr kaleje se lagaye rakhaa
deen jinko jinhe imaan banaye rakha

Tere khushboo mein buse khat mein jalata kaise ?

Jinka har lafz mujhe yaad thaa paani ki tarah
yaad thhey mujhko jo paigaam-e-zubaani ki tarah
Mujhko pyaare thhey jo anmol nishaani ki tarah

Tere khushboo mein buse khat main jalata kaise ?

toone duniya ki nighahoon se jo bachkar likhe
saal-ha-saal mere naam barabar likhe
kabhi din mein kabhi to kabhi raat ko Uthh kar likhe

Tere khushboo mein buse khat mein jalata kaise ?
Pyar mein doobe hue khat mein jalata kaise ?
Tere haathon ke likhe khat mein jalata kaise ?

Tere khat mein Aaj Ganga mein bahha aaya hoon
Tere khat mein Aaj Ganga mein bahha aaya hoon
Aag behte huey paani mein lagga aaya hoon

Dil mein abh dard-e-mohabbat ke siwa

Dil mein abh dard-e-mohabbat ke siwa kucch bhi nahi
zindagi meri ibadat ke siwa kuch bhi nahi

Main teri bargahe-naaz mein kya pesh karoon
Meri joli mein mohabbat ke siwa kucch bhi nahi

Ae Khuda mujh se na le mere gunahon ka hisaab
meri paas ash-e-nadamat ke siwa kuch bhi nahi

woh to mitt kar mujhe mil hee gayi rahat warna
zindagi ranj-o-museebat ke siwa kucch bhi nahi

Bebasi jurm hai

Bebasi jurm hai hosla jurm hai
Zindagi teri har ikk adda jurm hai...

Aye sanam tere bare mein sonch kar
apne bare mein sonchna jurm hai...

Yaad rakhna tujhe mera ikk jurm thaa
bool jana tujhe doosra jurm hai...

kya sitam hai ki tere haseen sehar mein
har tarf gorr se dekhna jurm hai...

Mujhko yakeen hai sacch kehti thee

Mujhko yakeen hai sacch kehti thee,
jo bhi Ammi kehti theein.
Jabh Mere bachpann ke din they,
Chand pe pariyan rehti thein..

Ek yeh din jabh apno ne bhi
humse Naata tod liya
Ek woh din jabh Ped ki shakhein
bhoj humara sehti theein.

ek yeh din jabh saari sadkein
roothi roothi lagti hain
ek woh din jabh
aao khelein saari galiyaan kehti theein

Ek yeh din jabh jaagi ratein
Deewaron ko takti hain..
Ek woh din jabh shyaamon' ki bhi
palkein bhojal rehti theein

Ek yeh din lakhoon gumm
aur akaal pada hai aansoon ka
Ek woh din jabh Ek
zaraa se baat pe nadiyaan behtein theein..

Mujhko yakeen hai sacch kehti thee,
jo bhi Ammi kehti theein.
Jabh Mere bachpann ke din they,
Chand pe pariyan rehti thein..

Apne honthon par

Apne honthon par sajana chahta hoon..
aa tujhe mein gungunana chahta hoon..

koi aansoo tere daman par gira kar..
boondh ko moti banana chahta hoon..

Thakk gaya mein karte karte yaad tujhko..
Abh tujhe mein yaad aana chahta hoon...

Aakhiri hichhki tere zaano' pey aaye..
Maut bhi mein shayaraana chahta hoon..

Dard badh kar fugaan na ho jaye

Dard badh kar fugaan na ho jaye
Yeh zameen Aasmaan na ho jaye

Dil mein dooba hua jo nashtar hai
Mere dil ki zubaan na ho jaye

Dil ko le leejiye jo lena hai
Fhir yeh sauda garaan na ho jaye

Aah keejiye magar lateef tareen
Labh tak aakar duan na ho jaye

Mere jaise ban jaooge

Mere jaise ban jaooge, jabh ishq tumhe ho jayega
Deewaron se takroage , jabh ishq tumhe ho jayega

Har baat gawara kar loge, Manat bhi utaara kar loge
Tawwezen bhi bandhwa loge, jabh ishq tumhe ho jayega

Tanhayee ke joole joologe, har baat purani boologe
aainae se tum ghabraoge, jabh ishq tumhe ho jayega

Jabh suraj bhi kho jayega, aur chand bhi kahin so jayega
Tum bhi ghar deear se aaoge, jabh ishq tumhe ho jayega

Bechaini jabh bad jayegi aur yaad kissi ki aayegi
Tum meri ghazalein gaooge jabh ishq tumhe ho jayega

Pyaar ka pehla khat

Pyaar ka pehla khat likhnay mein waqt to lagta hai,
Naye parindo ko udnay mein waqt to lagta hai !

Jism ki baat nahin thi, unkay dil tak jaana tha,
Lambi doori tay karnay mein waqt to lagta hai !

Gaanth agar lag jaayey to, phir rishtay ho ya dori,
Lakh karen koshish khulnay mein waqt to lagta hai !

Hamnay illaj-e-zakhm-e-dil to doond liya lekin,
Gharay zakhmon ko barnay mein waqt to lagta hai !

illaj-e-zakhm-e-dil : cure-for-wounds-of-heart
Gharay : deep

Pyaar ka pehla khat likhnay mein waqt to lagta hai,
Naye parindo ko udnay mein waqt to lagta hai !

Tere barein mein jabh soncha nahi thaa

Tere barein mein jabh soncha nahi thaa.
Main tanha thaa magar itna nahi thaa.
Teri tasveer se karta thaa batein
Mere kamre mein aaina nahi thaa
Samandar ne bhi mujhe pyasa he rakha
Mein jabh sehra mein thaa pyasa nahi thaa
Roothne manane ke iss khel mein hum
Yoon bichad jayeinge soncha nahi thaa
Suna hai kal usne kar li bandh aankhen
Waise bhi kai raton se woh soya nahi thaa

Gham Chale aate hain

Gham Chale aate hain Qatil ki nighaon ki tarah
Tum chuppa lo mujhe aae dost gunahon ki tarah

Apni nazron mein gunahgaar na hote kyoon kar
Dil he dushman hai mukhalif ke gawahon ki tarah

Har taraf zist ki rahoon mein kadi doop hai dost
Bus teri yaad ke sayee hain panahon ki tarah

Jinki khatir kabhi ilzaam utthaye Faqir
woh bhi pesh aaye hain Insaaf ke shaho ki tarah

Sar jukaoge to patthar devta ho jayega

Sar jukaoge to patthar devta ho jayega
Itna na chahho usse, woh bewafa ho jayega

Hum bhi darya hain, humein apna hunnar maloom hai
Jiss taraf bhi chal padenge, raasta ho jayega

Mein Khuda ka naam le kar pee raha hoon doston
Zehar bhi iss mein agar hoga, Dawa ho jayega

Roothh jana to mohabbat ki alaamat hai magar
Kya khabar thee mujhse woh itna khafa ho jayega

Pathar ke Khuda Pathar ke Sanam

Pathar ke Khuda Pathar ke Sanam
Pathar ke bhi Insaan paaye hain
Tum Shehar-e-mohabbat kehte ho
Hum jaan bacha kar aaye hain


Bhut-khana samajhte ho jisko
poocho na wahan kya halat hai
Hum log wahin se lautey hain
Bus shukar karo laut aayein hai

Hum Sonch rahein hain Muddat se
Abh Ummr guzarein bhi to kahan
Sehra mein Khushi ke phool nahi
Shehar-on mein gummon ke sayee hain

Hothon pe tabbasum halka sa
Aankhon mein nami si hai Faqir
Hum Ahele mohabbat pe aksar
Aise bhi zamane aaye hain

Na thaa Kucch to Khuda thaa

Na thaa Kucch to Khuda thaa
Kucch na hota to Khuda hota
Duboyya mujh ko - honne ne
Na hota main - to Kya hota

Hua jabh gumm se yoon befikr
to gumm kya sar ke kutne ka
Na hota agar judda tan se..
to zaano par dhara hota..

Huee muddat ke Ghalib marr gaya
par yaad aata hai
woh har ikk baat pe kehna
ki yoon hota to kya hota..

Tujhe apna nahin sakta

Tujhe apna nahin sakta, magar, itna bhi kya kam hai ki
Do ghadiyan tere khwabon mein khokar jee liya maine.
Pyar par bas to nahin hai mera lekin phir bhi,
Yeh bata de ki tujhe pyar karoon ya na karoon,
O mere khwabon ke jharokhon ko sajaane waali,
Tere khwaabon mein kahin mera guzar hai ki nahin,
Pooch kar apni nigaahon se bata de mijhko,
Mere raaton ke mukaddar mein sehar hai ki nahi,
Pyar par bas to nahin hai.

Maine dil se kaha

Maine dil se kaha "Ae dewaane' bata
Jabh se koi mila Tu hai khoya hua
Yah kaahani hai kya, hai yeh kya silsila
Ae dewaane' bata!"


Maine dil se kaha "Dhadkano mein chupi
kaisi awaaz hai? kaisa yeh geet hai ?
kaisa yeh saaz hai? Kaisi yeh baat hai ?
kaisa yeh raag hai?
Ae dewaane' bata!"

Mere dil ne kaha "Jabh se koi mila, Chand Tare fizah
Phool Bhanwarein Hawa, Yeh Haseen vadiyan
Neela yeh aasmaan, sabh hai jaise naya" Mere dil ne kaha

Maine dil se Kaha "Mujh ko yeh to bata, Jo hai tujh ko mila
Uss mein kya baat hai ? Kya hai Jadoogari ?
Kaun hai woh Pari? Ae dewaane' bata!"

Mere dil ne kaha "Na woh koi pari, na koi mehjabeen
Na woh duniya mein hai sabh se zyada haseen,
Seedhi saadhi-si hai, boli baali si hai
Lekin uss mein Ada ek nirali si hai
Uss ke bin mera jeena he bekar hai"

Maine dil se kaha "Baat itni si hai, ke tujhe Pyaar hai"

Mere Dil ne kaha "Mujh ko ikraar hai,
Haanh mujhe pyaar hai,
Haanh mujhe pyaar hai"

Jabh kissi se koi gilla rakhna

Jabh kissi se koi gilla rakhna
saamne apne Aayna rakhna

Yoon ujaalon se waasta rakhna
shamma ke paas hee hawa rakhna

Ghar ki tameer chahiye kaisi ho...
Iss mein ronne ki kuch jagah rakhna

Masjidein hain namaaziyon ke liye
Apne ghar mein kahin Khuda rakhna...

Milna julna jahan zaroori ho..
milne julne ka hosla rakhna...

Kaise kaise haadse sehte rahe

Kaise kaise haadse sehte rahe
fhir bhi humm jeete rahe, hanste rahe

Uske aajane' ki umeedein liye
raasta mudh-mudh ke hum takte rahe

Waqt to guzra magar kucch iss tarah
hum chirago kee tarah jalte rahe

kitne chehre the'y humare aas pass
tumm he tumm dil mein magar baste rahe

Koi dost hai na raqeeb hai

Koi dost hai na raqeeb hai
   Tera sehar kitna ajeeb hai

Woh jo ishq thaa woh junoon thaa
   yeh jo hijr hai yeh naseeb hai

Yahan kisska chehra pada karoon
   yahan kaun itna kareeb hai

Mein kissse kahoon mere saath chal
  yahan sabh ke sar pe saleeb hai

jabh tassavur mera chupke se tujhe choo aaye

jabh tassavur mera chupke se tujhe choo aaye..
  apni har saans se mujhko teri khusbhoo aaye.

Mashgala abh hai mera  chaand ko takte rehna
  raat bhar chain na tujh bin kissi pehlu aaye

Gantiyan bajne lagi hijr ke sanatte se
  Gungunata hua aase mein agar tu aaye..

jabh kabhi gardish-e-duaraan ne sataya mujhko
  meri janib tere pehle hue bazzon aaye

Ya Mujhe Afsar-E-Shah

Ya Mujhe Afsar-E-Shah na banaya hota
   ya Mera Taj-Gadayana Banaya Hota

Khaksari ke liye Garche Nabaya tha Mujhe
   Kaash Sang-e-Dar-e-Jaana Na Banaya Hota
 
Nasha-e-Ishq ka gar Zurf Diya tha Mujhko
   Umar ka Tang Na Paimana Banaya hota

Roz Mumuraye duniya mein Kharabi Hai zafar
   Aisi Basti se to veerana banaya hota

Zindagi se badi Saza hi nahi

Zindagi se badi Saza hi nahi
  Aur kya jurm hai Pata hi nahi

Itne hisson mein butt gaya hoon main
  Mere hisse mein kucch bacha he nahi

Sach ghate ya Bade to Sach na rahe
  Jooth ki koi inteha hee nahi

Judd do chaandi mein chahe sone' mein
  Aaina jooth bolta hee nahi
 

Zindagi tujh ko jiya hai

Zindagi tujh ko jiya hai, koi afsos nahi
   zehar khud maine piya hai, koi afsos nahi

Maine mujrim ko bhi mujrim, na kaha duniya mein
   bus yehi jurm kiya hai, koi afsos nahi

Meri kismat mein jo likhe theyy, unhi kaanton se
   dil ke zakhmo  ko siyya hai, koi afsos nahi

Abh gire sang, ki seeshon ki ho barish, Fakir

fhir uss sajde' ka kya kehna anokhee bandagee hogi...

naseemein subah gulshan mein gulon se khelti hongi
kissi ki aakhiri hicchki kissi ki dilagi hogi...

dikha doonga sare mehfil,..bata doonga sare mehshir
woh mere dil mein honge aur duniya dekhti hogi..

maza aajayega mehshir fhir sun-ne suna-ne ka...
zuban hogi wahan meri, kahani aapki hogi...

tumhe daanista mehfil mein jo dekha ho to mujrim hoon...
nazar akhir nazar hai,... be-iraada uthh gayi hogi..

A Foreword...

This is a blog to revive and keep going my old passion for Urdu poetry – specifically ghazal. A passion developed and nurtured in my early days as a student took a back-seat of sorts – when the grind of life took over. Scrambling through a life – making sense of a professional goal, juggling the rising interest rates, rising fuel prices and falling returns and the song and dance keeping things going from one day to another – I just lost up on some old things.

This blog is to rekindle the old flames, relive some of my cherished ghazals, nazms etc – and here I publish the lyrics I painstakingly penned from my collection of Jagjit Singh classics or Ghulam Ali mp3’s over the years. I seem to have lost my touch in many ways… the worst of all is probably to do with age – not being able to remember the lyrics/wordings of those favourite sher’s – not even the ones I wrote in my pensive days.

I can barely read Urdu script – so I am not going to attempt writing them in Urdu. I can barely write my own name in Urdu now… Urdu is an interesting language, sweet in mannerisms, delicate in touch, and poetic even in simple diction.

        Ghazal rudaad hai naakaamiyon ki,
        Ghazal mehrumiyon ki daastaan hai  |
        Ghazal riste hue zakhmon ka marham,
        Ghazal ek chaaraa-e-dard-e-nihan hai  |
        Ghazal ka husn hi hai, husn-e-aalam,
        Ghazal ka noor hi noor-e-jahan hai |
