Echoes


Home | Jagjit Singh Biography | Ghazal Lyrics

1.   huzoor aapka bhi ahtraam karta chaloon
     idhar say guzra tha soncha salaam karta chaloon 

     nikha-o-dil ki yahi aakhri tamanna hai
     tumhari zulf kay saayey mein shaam karta chaloon 

     unhay yeh zid ki mujhay dekh kar kisi ko na dekh
     mera yeh shauk ke sabsay qalaam karta chaloon 

     yeh mere khaboN ki duniya nahin sahi lekin
     ab aa gaya hooN to do din qyaam karta chaloon 



2.   safar me dhoop to hogi, jo chal sako to chalo
     sabhi haiN bheeD meiN tum bhee nikal sako to chalo

     kisi ke waaste raaheN kahan badalti hai
     tum apne aap ko khud hi badal sako to chalo

     yahan kisi ko koi raasta nahin deta
     muJhe gira ke agar tum sambhal sako to chalo

     yahi hai zindagi kuch khwaab chand ummeedeN
     inhi khilonoN se tum bhee bahal sako to chalo
    

3.   shola ho bhaDakne ki guzaarish nahin karta
     sach muuh se nikal jaata hai koshish nahin karta

     girti huyee diwaar ka humdard hooN lekin
     chaDhte huye sooraj ki parasthish nahin karta

     maathe ke paseene ki mahak aaye na jaisi
     wo khoon mere jisM meiN gardish nahin karta
    
     humdard ye ehbaab se darta hoon 'Muzaffar'
     main zakhm to rakhta hoon numaish nahin karta


4.   aap ko bhool jaayeN hum itnin to bewafa nahin
     aapse kya gila kareN aapese koi gila nahin

     sisha-e-dil ko toDna unka to ek khel hai
     humse hi bhool ho gayee unko koi khata nahin

     kaash wo apne gham muJhe de deN to kuch sukooN mile
     wo kitna bad-naseeb hain gam hee jise mila nahin

     juRm hai gar wafa to kya, kyoon kar wafa ko choD doon
     kehte haiN is gunaaH kee hoti koi saJa nahiN


5.   mai chahta bhi yehi tha, wo bewafaa nikle
     use 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


6.   BoliyaN (Punjabi)


7.   mai khayal hu kisi aur ka, mujhe sochta koi aur hai


8.   aisa lagta hai zindagi tum ho
     ajnabee kaise ajnabee tum ho

     ab koi aarzoo nahin baakee
     justjoo meri aakhri tum ho

     main zameen par ghana andhera hoon
     aasmaanoN ki chandni tum ho
  
     dostoN se wafa ki ummeedeN
     kis zamaane ke aadmi tum ho

9.   maana ke musht-e-khak se badh kar nahin hoon maiN
     lekin hawa ke rehmo-karam par nahiN hoon maiN

     insaan hooN dhaDkte huye dil par haath rakh
     yoon doob kar na dekh samandar nahiN hoon maiN

     chehre pe mal raha hoon siyaahi naseeb ki
     aaiynaa haath meiN hai sikandar nahiN hoon maiN

     'ghalib' tere zameen meiN likhi to hai ghazal
     tere kad-e-sukhan ke baraabar nahiN hoon maiN



10.  dene vaale mujhe maujo ki ravaani dede
     fir se ek baar muJhe meri jawaani dede

     abR ho jaam ho saaki ho mere pehloo meiN
     koi to shaam muJhe aisi suhaani dede

     nasha aa jaye muJhe teri jawaani ki kasam
     tu agar jaam meiN bhar ke muJhe paani dede

     har jawaN dil mere afsaanoN ko dohraata rahe
     hashR tak khatM na ho aisi kahaani dede

   

11.  tumko hum dil me basa lenge, tum aao to sahi
     saari duniya se chupa lenge tum aao to sahi

     ek waada karo ab humse na bicHDoge kabhi
     naaz hum saare utha lenge tum aao to sahi

     bewafa bhee ho sitamgar bee jafa pesha bhee
     hum khuda tumko bana lenge tum aao to sahi

     raah taarikh hai aur door hai manzil lekin
     dard ki shamme jala lenge tum aao to sahi



12.  fir usi raah guzar kar shaayad
     hum kabhi mil sakeN magar shaayad

     jaan pehchaan se kya hoga
     fir bhi ae dosth gaur kar shaayad

     muntjir jinke hum rahe unko
     mil gaye aur hum-safar shaayad

     jo bhee bicHDe hain kab mile hain 'faraar'
     fir bhee tu intezaar kar shaayad
