Someone Somewhere


Home | Jagjit Singh Biography | Ghazal Lyrics


Introduction

We dedicate this ablum to the ever loving memories of our
only son Vivek, who left us forever, at the age of 18, on
the 28th of July 1990.

When Vivek was born, he filled our lives with joy and
music. Baboo, as we fondly called him, gave us all the
success that we have had eversince he came into our lives.

Baboo, right from his infancy, had a tremendous talent for
music. His passion was for rhythm and currently he used to
play the drums beautifully.

Baboo has always influenced our music with his astute and
invaluable suggestions and constructive criticism. We were
half way through recording these songs for a double ablum,
when Baboo left us so suddenly. These are a few of the
songs we had managed to complete earlier. We don't know if
these would have met with his approval.

-Chitra & Jagjit Singh




1. din guzar gaya, ai'thbaar meiN
raat kat gayI intezaar meiN

wo maza kahaN basLe yaat meiN
lutF jo milaa intezaar meiN

Unki ik nazar kaam kar gaYi
hosh ab kahaN hoshiyar meiN

mere kabze meiN aaiyeena to hai
maiN hooN aapke ikhtiyaar meiN

aanKh to uthee phool ki taraF
dil ulaZh gaya husn-haar meiN

tumse kya kaheN, kitne Gam saheN
hamNe be-wafa tere pyaar meiN

fikR-e-aashiyaan har khizaam ki
aashiYaan jalaa har bahaar meiN

kis taraH Ye Gham bhool jaaYe hum
wo juDa hua ishtihaar meiN




2. meRi zindagi kisi aur ki, mere naaM ka koi auR hai
mera naqsh hai sar-e-aayina, pase aayina koi auR hai

meri dhaDkanoN meiN hai chaapsi, ye judaaee bhi hai milaapsee
muJhe kya patha, mere dil batha, mere saath kya koi auR hai

na gaYe diNo ko kHabar meri, na shareeke haal nazar teri
tere desh meiN, mere bhesH mein, koi auR tha, koi auR hai

wo meRi taraF niGraan rahe, mera dhyaan jaaNe kahaN rahe
meri aanKh meiN kai soorateN, mujhe chaahta koi auR hai




3. ab ke barsaat ki ruTh aur bHi bHadkili hai
jisHm se aaG nikalti hai, kaBaN gili hai

sonchta hooN ke ab anjaam-e-safar kya hoGa
log bhi kaanch ke haiN, raaH bhi pathrili hai

pehLe rag-rag se meri kHoon nicHoDa us'sne
ab Ye kehtha hai ke rangat hi meri peelee hai

muJhko be-rang hi na karde kahiN rang itNe
sabz mausam hai, hawa surkh, fizaaN gili hai 





4. faasila to hai magar, koi faasila nahiN
muJhse tum juDa sahi, dil se to juDa nahiN

aasmaaN ki fiqR kya, aasmaaN khafaa sahee
aap Ye bataaye'e aap to khafa nahiN

kashTiyaaN nahiN to kya, hausle to paaS haiN
keh do na-khudaaoN se, tum koi khuDa nahiN

lijiye bula liya, aapko khayaaloN meiN
ab to dekhiYe hameN, koi dekhTa nahiN

aaeeye charaaG-e-dil, aaj hi jalaaYeN hum
kaisi kal hawa chali, koi jaanta nahiN



5. aadmi aadmi ko kya degaa
jo bhi dega woHi khuDa dega

meRa qaatil hi mera munsib hai
kya mere haq meiN faisLa dega

zindagI ko kareeb se dekho
iska chehRa tumhe rulaa dega

hamse pucho dosthi ka silaa
dushmanOn ka bhi dil hilaa dega

ishq ka zehar pee liya 'Faakir'
ab maseeha bhi kya dawa dega



6. mere dukh ki koi dawa na karO
muJhko muJhse abhi juda na karO

na-khuda ko khuda kaha hai to fir
doob jaao khuda-khuda na karO

Ye siKhaya hai dosthi ne hame
dosth bankar kabhi wafa na karO

ishq hai ishq Ye mazaq nahiN
chanD lamhoN meiN faishlaa na karO

aashiqi ho ke bandagi 'Faakir'
be-dili se to ye fida na karO




7. koi samJhega kya raz-e-gulshan
jab taq ulJhe na kaanTon se daamaN

yaq-ba-yaq saamne aana jaana
ruk na jaaye kahin dil ki dhaDkan

gul to gul-zaar taq chun liye haiN
fir bhi kHaali hai khurchi ka daamaN

kitni aara'ishYen aashiyaana
TooT jaaye na nasha fir nashe meiN

HashmateN aashiyaana baNa dee
barF ko dosth samjhooN ke dushmaN




8. dekHa to mera saaya bhi mujhse juda mila
socha to har kisi se mera sil-sila mila

sehar-e-wafa meiN ab kise ehl'-e-wafa kaheN
humse gale mila to wo hi be-wafa mila

furshaT kise thi jo meri haalaath poochchta
har shakhs apne baare meiN kuch sonchtha mila

ussne to khair apno se moda that mooh haya
maiNe ye kya kiya ke maiN gairoN se jaa mila
