Main Aur Meri Tanhaayee


Home | Jagjit Singh Biography | Ghazal Lyrics

1.   hum bhi sharaabi, tum bhi sharaabi
     chalke gulaabi, chalke gulaabi
     taqdeer dil ki khaana kharaabi

     jab tak hai jeena khush ho ke jee leiN
     jab tak hai peena jee bhar ke pee leiN
     hasrat na koi reh jaaye baaki

     kal suboh ke daaman meiN, tum hoge na hum honge
     bas reth ke seene par kuch laksh kadam honge

     bas raat bhar ke mehmaan hum haiN
     zulfoN meiN shab ke thoDe se kam haiN
     baaki rahega saagar na saaqi


2.   mere darwaze se ab chand ko ruksat kar do
     saath aaya hai tumhaare jo tumhaare ghar se
     apne maathe se hata do ye chamakta hua taaj
     fenk do jism se kirnoN ka sunahri zewar
     tumhi tanha mera gham khaane mein aa sakti ho
     ek muddat se tumhare hi liye rakha hai
     mere jalte huye seene ka dahakta hua chaand


3.   awaara hai galiyon meiN main aur meri tanhaayee
     jaayeN to kahan jaayeN har mod pe ruswayee
     main aur meri tanhaayee main aur meri tanhaayee

     ye phool se chehre haiN haNste huye guldaste
     koi bhee nahin apna begaane hain sab raste
     raahen bhee tamashyee raahen bhee tamashaee
     main aur meri tanhaayee main aur meri tanhaayee

     armaan sulagte haiN seene meiN chitha jaise
     qaatil nazar aati hai duniya ke hawa jaise
     roti hai mere dil par bajti huyee shehnayee
     main aur meri tanhaayee main aur meri tanhaayee

     har rang meiN ye duniya sau rang dikhaati hai
     rokar kabhi hansti hai hanskar kabhi gaati hai
     ye pyaar ki baaheN haiN ya maut ki angDaayee
     main aur meri tanhaayee main aur meri tanhaayee


4.   aawaara hai galiyon meiN main aur meri tanhayee
     jaayeN to kahan jaayeN har moD pe ruswaayee
     maiN aur meri tanhaayee maiN aur meri tanhaayee

     ye phool se chehre haiN haNste huye guldaste
     koi bhee nahin apna begaane hain sab raste
     raahen bhee tamashyee raahen bhee tamashaee
     main aur meri tanhaayee main aur meri tanhaayee

     armaan sulagte haiN seene meiN chitha jaise
     qaatil nazar aati hai duniya ke hawa jaise
     roti hai mere dil par bajti huyee shehnayee
     main aur meri tanhaayee main aur meri tanhaayee

     aakaash ke maathe par taaroN ka charagam hai
     pehloo meiN magar mere zakhmoN ka gulistaan hai
     aankhOn se lahoo tapka daaman meiN bahaar aayee
     main aur meri tanhaayee main aur meri tanhaayee


5.   tamannaon ke bahlave meiN aksar aa hi jaate haiN
     kabhi hum chot khaate haIn kabhi hum muskuraate haiN
   
     ham aksar dostoN ki bewafee seh to lete haiN
     magar hum jaante haiN dil hamaare TooT jaate haiN

     kisi ke saath jab beete huye lamhoN ki yaad aayee
     thaki aakhoN meiN askhoN ke sitaare jhilmilaate haiN

     ye kaisa istheyaaki deed aur kaisi majboori     
     kisi ki bazm tak hum kyoon jaa jaa ke laut aate haiN



6.   baad muddat unheN dekh kar yooN laga
     jaise betaab dil ko qaraar aa gaya
     aarzoo ke gul muskuraane lage 
     jaise gulshan meiN bahaar aa gaya

     tishna nazreN mili shokh nazroN se jab
     maiN barasne lagi jaam bharne lage
     saaqiyaa aaj teri zaroorat nahiN
     bin piyee bin pilaaye khumaar aa gaya

     raat sone lagi subah hone lagi 
     shamma buJhne lagi dil machalne lage
     waqt ki roshni meiN nahaayee huyi
     zindagi pe ajab sa nikhaar aa gaya
