Who wrote ' Na kisi ki aankh ka noor hoon'?

[muqawwee123]

Who is the poet of this famous ghazal?

Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon
Na Kisi Ke Dil Ka Karar Hoon
Jo Kisi Ke Kaam Na Aa Sake
Main Woh Ek Musth-E-Gubaar Hoon
Mera Rang Roop Bigad Gaya
Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor HoonMera Yaar Muhjse Bichad Gaya
Jo Chaman Fiza Mein Ujad Gaya
Main Usi Ki Faasle Bahar Hoon
Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon
Na Kisi Ke Dil Ka Karar Hoon
Main Kahan Rahoon Main Khahan Basu
Na Yeh Mujhse Khush Na Woh Mujhse Khush
Main Zamin Ki Peet Ka Boj Hoon
Main Falak Ke Dil Ka Gubaar Hoon
Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon
Pade Faatiha Koyi Aaye Kyon
Koyi Chaar Phool Chadaye Kyon
Koyi Aake Shama Jhalaye Kyon
Koyi Aake Shama Jhalaye Kyon
Main Woh Be-Kasi Ka Mazaar Hoon
Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon
Na Kisi Ke Dil Ka Karar Hoon
Jo Kisi Ke Kaam Na Aa Sake
Main Woh Ek Musth-E-Gubaar Hoon
Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon

And it goes like

Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon ,Na Kisi Ke Dil Ka Qarar Hoon
Jo Kisi Ke Kaam Na Aa Sake , Main Woh Ek Musth-E-Gubaar Hoon

Mera Rang Roop BigaR Gaya , Mera Yaar Muhjse BichaR Gaya
Jo Chaman Fiza Mein UjaR Gaya , Main Usi Ki Faasle Bahar Hoon

Main Kahan Rahoon Main Khahan Basu . Na Yeh Mujhse Khush Na Woh Mujhse Khush
Main Zamin Ki Peeth Ka Boj Hoon , Main Falak Ke Dil Ka Gubaar Hoon

Pa'ay Faatiha Koyi Aaye Kyon , Koyi Chaar Phool ChaRaye Kyon
Koyi Aake Shama Jhalaye Kyon . Main Woh Be-Kasi Ka Mazaar Hoon

Bhadur shah zafar - the last mughal king

thats what I used to believe, but the famous ghazal is not written by Bahadur Shah Zafar. Its written by Muztir Khairabadi (grandfather of famous Indian poet Javed Akhat).

I heard that in today’s Hasb e Haal and googled that to find out this:

i spoke to dr aslam farrukhi the other day to find out more about the above shair. he pointed out that seemab’s shair has “lai thi” (which gives a little different meaning) instead of “laey thay”. in his opinion kalam that is generally attributed to zafar – and is not found in his four diwans – should not be attributed to him just because the maqta’ has zafar’s takhkhalus, or the shair is in zafar’s style. dr farrukhi also told me that “na kisi ki ankh ka noor hoon na kisi kay dil ka qarar hoon” is by muztar khairabadi (janisar akhtar’s father).

Bahadur Shah Zafar
