Yeh Saaye Hain...

Yeh Saaye Hain
Yeh Duniya Hai
Parchhaiyon Ki,
Bhari Bheed Mein Khaali Tanhaaiyon Ki

Yahan Koi Saahil Sahaara Nahin Hai
Kahin Doobne Ko Kinaara Nahin Hai
Yahan Koi Saahil Sahaara Nahin Hai
Yahan Raunak Hai Ruswaaiyon Ki
Yeh Saaye Hai...

Kai Chaand Humne Jalaye Bujhaye
Bahut Humne Chaaha Zara Neend Aaye
Kai Chaand Humne Jalaye Bujhaye
Yahan Raat Hoti Hai Bezaariyon Ki
Yeh Saaye Hai...

Yahan Saare Chehre Hain Maange Hue Se
Nigaahon Mein Aansoo Bhi Taange Hue Se
Yahan Saare Chehre Hain Maange Hue Se
Badi Neechi Raahen Hain Unchaaiyon Ki
Yeh Saaye Hai...

Mujhko yakeen hai...

Mujhko yakheen hai sach kehti thi Jo bhi Ammi kehti thi
Jab mere bachpan ke din thay, chand mein pariyaan rehti thi!

Ek ye din jab apnon ne bhi humse naata tod liya
Ek wo din jab ped ki shaakhen bojh hamara sehti thi!

Ek ye din jab saari sadken ruthi ruthi lagti hain
Ek wo din jab aao khele saari galiyan kehti thi!

Ek ye din jab jaagi raaten diwaaron ko takti hain
Ek wo din jab shaamon ko bhi palkein bojhal rehti thi!

Ek ye din jab laakhon gham aur kaal pada hai aansoon ka
Ek wo din jab ek zara si baat pe nadiyaan behti thi!

Mujhko yakheen hai sach kehti thi Jo bhi Ammi kehti thi
Jab mere bachpan ke din the, chand mein pariyaan rehti thi!

Tumne Dil Ki Baat Keh Di

Tumne Dil ki Baat keh di,
Aaj yeh accha hua......
Hum tumhe apna samajhte thay, 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 kisi se se kya kahein, Iqbal apni daastan
Bas Khuda ka shukr hai, jo bhi hua accha hua...

Mujhko bhi tarqeeb sikha do

Marasim se kuchh aur panktiyaan....

Mujhko bhi tarqeeb sikha koi yaar julahe...
Aksar dekha hai tujhko taga bunte...
Jab koi taga toot gaya ya khatm hua...
Phir se jod ke naya sira koi baandh ke usme
Aage bunne lagte ho...
Tere is taane me lekin ik bhi gaanth girah buntar ki dekh nahin sakta hai koi.....
Maine to ik baar buna tha ik hi rishta...
Par uski saari girhen saaf nazar aati hain, mere yaar julahe
Mujhko bhi tarqeeb sikha koi yaar julahe...

Tum Pukaar Lo...

This soulful number from Khamoshi is my all-time favourite.....

Tum Pukaar Lo.....
Tumhaaraa Intezaar Hai.....
Tum....Pukaar Lo.....

Khwaab Chun Rahii Hai Raat, Beqaraar Hai
Tumhaaraa Intezaar Hai...
Tum...Pukaar Lo......

HoNth Pe Liye Huay Dil Kii Baat Ham,
Jaagate Rahe.Nge Aur Kitanii Raat Ham.....
Muqtasar Sii Baat Hai......Tum Se Pyaar Hai
Tumhaaraa Intezaar Hai....
Tum.....Pukaar Lo....

Dil Bahal To Jaayegaa Is Kayaal Se
Haal Mil Gayaa Tumhaara Apane Haal Se...
Raat Ye Qaraar Kii....Beqaraar Hai
Tumhaaraa Intezaar Hai....
Tum Pukaar Lo...

Ye daulat bhi le lo....

Aksar mann mechanical zindagi se pareshan ho uthta hai....
subeh se shaam tak ghadi ki sui pe chalte chalte thak jaata hai - cell phone mein bajte hua alarm uthne ka ishara karta hai, office cab ka horn chilla ke ghar se nikalne ka order sunata hai, outlook se popup hota hua meeting reminder, shaam ko ghar jaate huay baar baar ghadi aur bahar ka traffic jam dekhna...............subeh se shaam tak ki yeh bechaini.....
kaash !! bachpan ke din kabhi na beete hote.....

Shayad yeh jagjit singh ki sabse lokpriya ghazal hai...

Ye Daulat Bhi Le Lo, Ye Shohrat Bhi Le Lo
Bhale Cheen Lo Mujhse Meri Jawaani
Magar Mujhko Lauta Do Bachchpan Ka Saawan
Wo Kaagaz Ki Kasthi Wo Baarish Ka Paani

Mohalle Ki Sabse Nishaani Purani
Wo Budhiya Jise Bachche Kehte The Naani
Wo Naani Kee Baaton Mein Pariyon Ka Dera
Wo Chehre Ke Jhuriyon Mein Sadiyon Ka Phera

Bhulaaye Nahin Bhool Saqta Hai Koi
Wo Choti See Raaten Wo Lambi Kahaani

Kadi Dhoop Mein Apne Ghar Se Nikalna
Wo Chidiya Wo Bulbul Wo Thithli Pakadna
Wo Gudiya Ki Shaadi Pe Ladna Jhagadna
Wo Jhoolon Se Girna, Wo Gir Ke Sambhalna
Wo Pithal Ke Challon Ke Pyaare Se Tohfe
Wo Tuti Hui Chudiyon Ki Nishaani

Kabhi Re't Ke Oonche Tilon Pe Jaana
Gharonde Banana, Banaake Mitaana
Wo Maasoom Chaahat Ki TasveerApni
Wo Khwabon Khilono Ki Taabir Jaageer Apni
Na Duniya Ka Gham Tha Na Rishton Ke Bandhan
Badi Khoobsoorat Thi Wo Zindgaani

Ek purana mausam lauta...

Ek puraanaa mausam lauTaa
yaad bharii puravaa_ii bhii

Aisaa to kam hii hotaa hai
Vo bhii ho tanahaa_ii bhii

Yaado.n kii bauchhaaro.n se jab palake.n bhiigane lagatii hai.n
Kitanii sau.Ndhii lagatii hai tab maazii kii rusavaa_ii bhii

Do do shaqle.n dikhatii hai.n is bahake se aa_iine me.n
Mere saath chalaa aayaa hai aap kaa il saudaa_ii bhii

Khaamoshii kaa haasil bhii ik lambii sii Khaamoshii hai
Un kii baat sunii bhii hamane apanii baat sunaa_ii bhii

Chithi na koi sandes....

(Somehow, this beautiful ghazal never fails to bring tears to my eyes....)

Chithi na koi sandes, jaane wo kaunsa des.....
Jahan tum chale gaye....
Is dil pe laga ker thes, jaane wo kaunsa des.....
Jahan tum chale gaye....

Ik aah bhari hogi, humne na suni hogi
Jaate jaate tumne, aawaz to di hogi....
Har waqt yehi he ghum....us waqt kahan thay hum
Kahan tum chale gaye.....

Har cheez pe ashkon se, likha hai tumhara naam....
Ye rastay ghar galiyan, tumhe kar na sake salaam
Har dil mein reh gayee baat, jaldi se chura kar hath
Kahan tum chale gaye......

Abh Yaadon Ke Kaante, Is Dil Mein Chubhte Hain..
Na Dard Theherta Hai, naa aansoon rukte hain....
Tumhe dhoondh raha hai pyaar, hum kaise karein iqraar
Ke haan tum chale gaye.............

Tum ye kaise....

A favourite from 'Love is Blind'...........

Tum ye kaise juda ho gaye
Har taraf har jagah ho gaye

Apna chehra na badlaa gaya
Aayine se khafa ho gaye

Jaane waale gaye bhi kahaan
Chand suraj ghata ho gaye

Bewafa to na wo the na hum
Yuun hua bas juda ho gaye

Aadmi banana aasaan na tha
Sheikhjee aarasa ho gaye

Main chahta bhi....

Main chahta bhi yehi tha,wo bewafaa nikle...
Usay samajhne ka koi to silsila nikle.....

Kitaab-e-maazi ke panne ulat ke dekh zara
Na jaane kaun sa panna muda hua nikle

Jo dekhne mein bahut hee karib lagtaa hai
Usi ke baare mein socho to faasila nikle

Ranjish hi sahi...

Ranjish hii sahii dil hii dukhaane ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe chhod ke jaane ke liye aa

pahale se maraasim na sahii phir bhii
kabhii to rasm-o-rahe duniyaa hii niibhaane ke liye aa

kis kis ko bataayenge judaii kaa sabab ham
tuu mujh se Khafaa hai to zamaane ke liye aa

kuchh to mere pindaar-e-muhabbat ka bharam rakh
tuu bhii to kabhii mujh ko manaane ke liye aa

ek umr se huun lazzat-e-giriyaa se bhii maharuum
ai raahat-e-jaan mujh ko rulaane ke liye aa

ab tak dil-e-Khush faham ko tujh se hain ummiiden
ye aakhirii shammen bhii bujhaane ke liye aa

The following ashaar are by Talib Baghpati but Mehdi Hassan always sings them as part of this Gazal.......

Maanaa ki muhabbat kaa chhipaanaa hai muhabbat
Chupke se kisii roz jataane ke liye aa

Jaise tujhe aate hain na aane ke bahaane
Aise hii kisii roz na jaane ke liye aa

Aap yun.....

Aap yun faaslon se guzarte rahe
Dil se qadmon ki aavaaz aati rahi

Aahaton se andhere chamakte rahe
Raat aati rahi raat jaati rahi

Gungunaati rahin meri tanhaaiyaan
Door bajti rahin kitni shahnaaiyaan
Zindagi zindagi ko bulaati rahi
Aap yun faaslon se guzarte rahe....dil se qadmon ki aavaaz aati rahi aap yun...

Katraa katraa pighaltaa rahaa aasmaan
Rooh ki vaadiyon mein na jaane kahaan
Ik nadi.. ik nadi dilrubaa geet gaati rahi
Aap yun faaslon se guzarte rahe....dil se qadmon ki aavaaz aati rahi aap yun...

Aap ki garm baahon mein kho jaayenge
Aap ki narm zaanon pe so jaayenge, so jaayenge
Muddaton raat neenden churaati rahi
Aap yun faaslon se guzarte rahe....dil se qadmon ki aavaaz aati rahi aap yun...

Tumhein yaad ho....

Wo jo hum mein tumme qaraar tha tumhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
Wo hi aani waala nebaahta tumhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho

Wo naye gile wo shikaayate wo maze-maze ki hikaayaten
Wo har ek baat pe roothna tumhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho

Koi baat aisi agar huyee jo tumhaare jee ko buree lagi
To bayaan se pehle hi bhoolna tumhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho

Jise aap ginte the aashnaa jise aap kehte the baawafaa
Main wohi hoon 'momin'-e-mubtila tumhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho

Manzil 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
