**dil-e-naadaaN tujhe huaa kyaa hai **

dil-e-naadaaN tujhe huaa kyaa hai
aaKhir is dard kii davaa kyaa hai

ham hain mushtaaq aur vo bezaar
yaa ilaahii ye maajaraa kyaa hai

main bhii muuNh mein zabaan rakhataa huuN
kaash puuchho ki muddaa kyaa hai

jab ki tujh bin nahiin koii maujuud
phir ye hangaamaa, ai Khudaa kyaa hai

qataah:

ye parii cheharaa log kaise hain
Gamazaa-o-ishvaa-o-adaa kyaa hai

shikan-e-zulf-e-ambarii kyon hai
nigah-e-chashm-e-surmaa saa kyaa hai

sabazaa-o-gul kahaaN se aaye hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

hamko unse vafaa kii hai ummiid
jo nahiin jaante vafaa kyaa hai

haaN bhalaa kar teraa bhalaa hogaa
aur darvesh kii sadaa kyaa hai

jaan tum par nisaar karataa huuN
main nahiin jaantaa duaa kyaa hai

main ne maanaa ki kuchh nahiin ‘Ghalib’
muft haath aaye to buraa kyaa hai

hazaaron Khvaahishen aisii ki har Khvaaish pe dam nikle

hazaaron Khvaahishen aisii ki har Khvaaish pe dam nikle
bahut nikale mere armaaN lekin phir bhii kam nikle

Dare kyuuN meraa qaatil kyaa rahegaa uskii gardan par
vo KhuuN jo chashm-e-tar se umr bhar yuuN dam-ba-dam nikle

nikalnaa Khuld se aadam kaa sunte aaye hain lekin
bahut be-aabaruu hokar tere kuuche se ham nikle

bharam khul jaaye zaalim tere qaamat kii daraazii kaa
agar is turraa-e-purapech-o-Kham kaa pech-o-Kham nikle

magar likhvaaye koii usako Khat to hamase likhvaaye
huii subah aur ghar se kaan par rakkhar qalam nikle

huii is daur mein mansuub mujhse baadaa-ashaamii
phir aayaa vo zamaanaa jo jahaaN se jaam-e-jam nikle

huii jinse tavaqqo Khastagii kii daad paane kii
vo hamase bhii ziyaadaa Khastaa-e-teG-e-sitam nikle

muhabbat mein nahiin hai farq jiine aur marne kaa
usii ko dekh kar jiite hain jis kaafir pe dam nikle

zara kar jor siine par ki tiir-e-pursitam nikle
jo vo nikle to dil nikle jo dil nikle to dam nikle

Khudaa ke vaaste pardaa na kaabe se uThaa zaalim
Kahiin aisaa na ho yahaaN bhii vahii kaafir sanam nikle

KahaaN maiKhaane ka daravaazaa ‘Ghalib’ aur kahaaN vaaiz
par itnaa jaante hain kal vo jaataa thaa ke ham nikle

bekalii dil hii kii tamaashaa hai

ishq hai aashiqon ko jalane ko
ye jahannum mein hai azaab kahaaN

mahv hain is kitaabii chehre ke

jab kabhii bolanaa vaqt par bolanaa

jab kabhii bolanaa vaqt par bolanaa
muddaton bolanaa muKhtasar bolanaa

Daal degaa halaaqat mein ik din tujhe
ai parinde teraa shaaKh par bolanaa

pehale kuchh duur tak saath chal ke parakh
phir mujhe hamsafar hamsafar bolanaa

umr bhar ko mujhe besadaa kar gayaa
teraa ik baar muuNh pher kar bolanaa

merii Khaanaabadoshii se puuchhe koii
kitnaa mushkil hai raste ko ghar bolanaa

kyuuN hai Khaamosh sone kii chiDiyaa bataa
lag gaii tujh ko kis kii nazar bolanaa

kuchh kah rahii hai aap ke siine kii dhaDkane

Yuun na mil mujh se Khafaa ho jaise

yuun na mil mujh se Khafaa ho jaise
saath chal mauj-e-sabaa ho jaise

log yuun dekh kar hans dete hain
tuu mujhe bhool gayaa ho jaise

ishq ko shirk kii hadh tak na badhaa
yuun na mil hamse Khudaa ho jaise

maut bhii aaii to iss naaz ke saath
mujh pe ehasaan kiyaa ho jaise

aise anjaan bane baithe ho
tum ko kuchh bhii na pataa ho jaise

hichkiyaan raat ko aatii hii rahiin
tuu ne phir yaad kiyaa ho jaise

zindagii beet rahii hai “daanish”
ek bejurm sazaa ho jaise

Buhat achi collection hay… lekin ye ghazal bayhudd umdah hay

[NihalK]

Re: Reflections…

A lot of Jagjit Singh’s ghazals are also based on Qateel Shifai’s words.
I myself just love his ‘Apne haathon ki lakiiron mein basaale mujhko.’
Ever heard that ghazal?
