Ham tere shahar mein aaye hain musaafir kii tarah
I have arrived in your town as a traveler

Ham tere shahar mein aaye hain musaafir kii tarah
I have arrived in your town as a traveler

Sirf ek baar mulaaqaat kaa mauqaa de de
Give me just once chance to meet you

Ham tere shahar mein aaye hain musaafir kii tarah
I have arrived in your town as a traveler

(Merii manzil hai kahaan meraa thikaanaa hai kahaan-2
Where am I going? Where am I now?

Subah tak tujh se bichharakar mujhe jaanaa hai kahaan
Where shall I go when I leave you in the morning?

Sochane ke liye ek raat kaa mauqaa de de
Give me a chance to think about it all night

Ham tere shahar mein aaye hain musaafir kii tarah-2
I have arrived in your town as a traveler

Apanii aakkhoon mein chhupaa rakhein hain juganuu main ne-2

Aaj kii raat meraa dard-e-muhabbat sun le-2
Tonight, listen to the pain in my heart

Bhuulanaa thaa to ye iqaraar kiyaa hii kyuun thaa-2
If you had to forget me, why did you accept me at first?

Bevafaa tuune mujhe pyaar kiyaa hii kyuun thaa
My unfaithful one! why did you ever love me?

Sirf do-chaar savaalaat kaa mauqaa de de
Give me a chance for just a couple of questions

Humko Kiskay Gham Nay Maara with English Translation

SINGER: Ghulam Ali
POET : Josh Malihabadi

Humko Kiskay Gham Nay Maara with English Translation

Dil ki choton nay kabhi chain say rehnay na diya,
The wounds in my heart never let me have any peace

Jab chali sard waha mainay tujhay yaad kiya,
Whenever a cold wind blew, I kept thinking of you

Iska rona nahin kyon tumnay kiya dil barbaad,
I am not crying because you broke my heart

Iska gham hai ki bahut dher may barbaad kiya
I cry because it took you so long to break it

Humko kiskay gham nay maara, yeh kahaani phir sahi,
Whatever sorrow took my life, let us not talk about it now

Kisnay tora dil hamara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
Who was it that broke my heart, let us not talk about it now

Dil kay lutnay ka sabab poocho na sabkay saamnay,
Don't ask me in front of everyone why my heart was broken

Naam aayega tumhara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
Your name might come up, better to discuss this later

Humko kiskay gham nay maara, yeh kahaani phir sahi,
Whatever sorrow took my life, let us not talk about it now

Kisnay tora dil hamara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
Who was it that broke my heart, let us not talk about it now

Nafraton kay teer kha kar doston kay shehar mein,
Stung by arrows of hate in a city of my friends

Humnay kis kis ko pukara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
Whose names did I call in pain, better to discuss this later

Humko kiskay gham nay maara, yeh kahaani phir sahi,
Whatever sorrow took my life, let us not talk about it now

Kisnay tora dil hamara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
Who was it that broke my heart, let us not talk about it now

Kya batayein pyaar ki baazi wafa ki rah mein,
What can I say, in the game of love on the streets of devotion

Kaun jeeta kaun haara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
Who won, who lost? better to discuss this later

Humko kiskay gham nay maara, yeh kahaani phir sahi,
Whatever sorrow took my life, let us not talk about it now

Kisnay tora dil hamara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
Who was it that broke my heart, let us not talk about it now

Patta Patta, Buta Buta Haal Jaane with English Translation


Patta patta, boota boota, haal hamaaraa jaane hai
Every leaf and every shrub here knows of my state

Jaane na jaane gul hi na jaane, baagh to saaraa jaane hai
It is the flower that is unaware, but all the bower knows

Chaaragari beemari-e-dil ki rasm-e-shahr-e-husn nahin
It is not their way, to heal: these denizens of the city of love

Warna dilbar naadaan bhi is dard ka chaara jaane hai
Yet even the innocent ones know the cure to a sick heart

Patta patta, boota boota, haal hamaaraa jaane hai
Every leaf and every shrub here knows of my state

Mehr-o-wafa-o-lutf-o-inaayat, ek se waaqif in mein nahin
Not one here knows of kindness, loyalty, grace or generosity

Aur to sab kuch tanz-o-kanaya, ramz-o-ishaara jaane hai
Cruelty, sarcasm, mockery and taunts, of these they know

Patta patta, boota boota, haal hamaaraa jaane hai

Aashiq saa to saada koi aur na hoga duniya mein
There is no one in the world quite as simple as a lover

Ji ke zian ko ishq mein uske apna waara jaane hai
The squandering of his heart he sees as ecstasy

Aashiq to murda hai hamesha ji uthta hai dekhe use
He is but a corpse, the lover, but see! he lives again

Yaar ke aa jaane ko yakaayak umr do baara jaane hai
She has come of a sudden and it is another lease on life

Kya kya fitne sar par uske laata hai maashooq apnaa
What disasters our lover brings down on his own head

Jis bedil betaab-o-tavaan ko ishq ka maaraa jaane hai
That restless, listless soul we had given up as lost

Tashna-e-khun hai, apna kitna 'Mir' bhi naadaan, talkhi-kash
Parched for blood he is, and 'Mir' the simpleton

Damdaar aab-e-tegh ko uske aab-e-gawara jaane hai
Thinks the sharp edge of a blade an elixir

My judge is my murderer

Kya mere haq mein faisla dega?
How he will give decision in my favor?

Zindagi ko karib se dekho
See the life closely

Iska chehra tumhein rula dega
Its real face will make you cry

Humse puchho dosti ka sila
Ask me reward of friendship

Dushmanon ka bhi dil hila dega
Even the enemy will be thrilled

Ishq kaa zahar pi liya 'Fakir'
I have eaten poison of love 'Fakir'

Ab maseeha bhi kya dawa dega?
What medicine a Messiah can give now?

Whose face can I for hours contemplate

yahan kon itna karib hai
Any one, so close, a beauty, exists?

tujhe dekh kar main hun sochta
Looking at you I'm compelled to think

tuo habib hai ya raqeeb hai
Friend or foe, a dilemma so pretty exists.

English translation:

My heart, my fellow traveler
It has been decreed again
That you and I be exiled,
go calling out in every street,
turn to every town.
To search for a clue
of a messenger from our Beloved.
To ask every stranger
the way back to our home.

In this town of unfamiliar folk
we drudge the day into the night
Talk to this stranger at times,
to that one at others.

How can I convey to you, my friend
how horrible is a night of lonliness
It would suffice to me
if there were just some count
I would gladly welcome death
if it were to come but once.

Translation:

Before you came things were just what they were:
the road precisely a road, the horizon fixed,
the limit of what could be seen,
a glass of wine was no more than a glass of wine.

With you the world took on the spectrum
radiating from my heart: your eyes gold
as they open to me, slate the color
that falls each time I lost all hope.

With your advent roses burst into flame:
you were the artist of dried-up leaves, sorceress
who flicked her wrist to change dust into soot.
You lacquered the night black.

As for the sky, the road, the cup of wine:
one was my tear-drenched shirt,
the other an aching nerve,
the third a mirror that never reflected the same thing.

Now you are here again—stay with me.
This time things will fall into place;
the road can be the road,
the sky nothing but sky;
the glass of wine, as it should be, the glass of wine.

Last night, your lost memories crept into my heart
as spring arrives secretly into a barren garden
as a cool morning breeze blows slowly in a desert
as a sick person feels well, for no reason.

Dekh ke Tumko Hosh Mein with English Translation

Dekh ke Tumko Hosh Mein Aana Bhool Gaye
After meeting you I lost my sense

Yaad Rahe Tum Aur Zamaana Bhool Gaye
Except you I don't remember anything else in this world

Jab Saamne Tum Aa Jaate Ho
When you come in front of me

Kya Jaaniye Kya Ho Jaata Hai
Don't know what happens to me

Kuch Mil Jaata Hai, Kuch Kho Jaata Hai
I get something and lose something else

Kya Jaaniye Kya Ho Jaata Hai
Don't know what happens to me

Chaaha Tha Yeh Kahenge
I wanted to say this

Socha Tha Woh Kahenge
Thought of saying that

Aaye Woh Saamne To, Kuch Bhi Na Keh Sake
When he was in front of me, could not speak a word

Bas Dekha Kiye Unhein Hum
Just stood staring at him

Dekhkar Tujhko Yakeen Hota Hai
Seeing you, I discovered that

Koi Itna Bhi Haseen Hota Hai
One can be this beautiful

Dekh Paate Hain Kahan Hum Tumko
When I meet you

Dil Kahin Hosh Kahin Hota Hai
I lose my heart, my mind

Aakar Chale Na Jaana, Aise Nahin Satana
Don't come and go away, it pains me

Dekar Hansi Labon Ko, Aankhon Ko Math Rulana
Be the smile on my lips, and not tears of my eyes

Dena Na Beqarari Dil Ka Karaar Banke
Don't give restlessness, be the peace of my heart

Yaadon Mein Kho Na Jaana Tum Intezaar Banke, Intezar Banke
Don't fade to memory and make me wait for you

Bhoolkar Tumko Na Jee Payenge
Forgetting you, I cannot live

Saath Tum Hogi, Jahan Jayenge
You will be with me wherever I go

Hum Koi Waqt Nahin Hain Humdam
Dear, I am not season to change

Jab Bulaoge Chale Aayenge
Whenever you will call me, I will be with you

Having gained you I am losing myself lover

O maahiya ve tere ishq mein haan doobke
Oh darling having drowned in your love

Paar main ho rahi hoon sanam
I am becoming the shore lover

Saagar hua pyaasa raat jagne lagi
The ocean has become thirsty night has begun to awaken

Sholo ke dil mein bhi aag jalne lagi
Even in the heart of a flame fire erupted

Main thehri lagi zameen chalne lagi
I am standing still the earth has begun to move

Dhadka yeh dil saans thamne lagi
My heart has beat my breath has begun to stop

Kya yeh mera pehla pehla pyaar hai

Chaand jalne laga
The moon has begun to burn

It's the sky

Kyoon pighalne laga
Why has it begun to melt

Bechain Bahut Phirna With English Translation

Shayar: Munir Niazi
Singer: Ghulam Ali

Bechain Bahut Phirna With English Translation

Bechain Bahut Phirna Ghabraye Hue Rehna
Roam restlessly, apprehensive remain

Ek Aag Si Jazbon Ki Behki Hui Rehna
The fire of passion rage within, remain

Chhalkaye Huye Chalna Khusbu-E-Begani Ki
Let the aroma of your red lips disperse 

Ek Baag Sa Tha Apna Mehakaye Hue Rehna
A garden with you fragrant remain

Is Husn Ka Shevaa Hai, Jab Ishq Nazar Aaye
With love, beauty in fulfilment glows

Parde Mein Chale Jaana, Sharmaye Hue Rehna,
Hide behind a veil, shy remain

Ek Shaam Si Kar Rakhna Kaajal Ke Karishme Se
With the magic of kohl, make it evening

Ek Chand Sa Aankhon Me Chamkaye Hue Rehna
A moon in your eyes, glistening remain

Aadat Hi Bana Li Hai Tumne To Munir Apni
You have made it a habit 'Muneer'

Jis Shaher Mein Bhi Rehna Uktaye Hue Rehna
Whichever city you live in, weary remain

Dil ki choton nay kabhi with English Translation

Singer: Ghulam Ali

Dil ki choton nay kabhi with English Translation

Humko Kisake Gham Ne Mara with English Translation

Dil ki choton nay kabhi chain say rehnay na diya
heart wounds have never let me live in peace

Jab chali sard hawa mainay tujhay yaad kiya
I remembered you, with the cool breeze that flowed

Iska rona nahin kyon tumnay kiya dil barbaad
I am not sorrowful about how you have destroyed my heart

Iska gham hai ki bahut der may barbaad kiya
I am sorrowful that you took too much time to destroy it

Humko kiskay gham nay maara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
I will tell the story about the one caused pain to me, later

Kisnay tora dil hamara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
I will tell the story about the one who broke my heart, later

Dil kay lutnay ka sabab poocho na sabkay saamnay
Don't ask me publicly about the reason of my heart getting stolen

Naam aayega tumhara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
your name will come, I will tell this story, later

Nafraton kay teer kha kar doston kay shehar mein
Bearing the arrows of hate in the city of friends

Humnay kis kis ko pukara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
I will tell the story of the people I called, later

Kya batayein pyaar ki baazi wafa ki rah mein
what should I tell about this game of love in the road of loyalty

Kaun jeeta kaun haara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
I will tell about the who lost and who won, later

Humko kiskay gham nay maara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
I will tell the story about the one caused pain to me, later

Kisnay tora dil hamara, yeh kahaani phir sahi
I will tell the story about the one who broke my heart, later

Benaam Sa Ye Dard, Thahar Kyon With English Translation

Album: Muntzir
Singer: Jagjit Singh

 Benaam Sa Ye Dard, Thahar Kyon With English Translation

Benaam Sa Ye Dard, Thahar Kyon Nahi Jaata,
this nameless pain that I feel, why doesn't freeze up

Jo Beet Gya Hai, Woh Gujar Kyon Nahi Jaata,
what is past, why doesn't it pass away

Sab Kuch To Hai, Kya Dundti Rahti Hai Nigahe
I have everything, then what do my eyes keep searching for?

Kya Baat Hai Main Waqt Pe Ghar Kyo Nahi Jaata,
what keeps me from going home on time?

Woh Ek Hi Chera To, Nahi Sare Jahan Mein,
that face is not the only one in the world

Jo Dur Hai Woh Dil Se Utar Kyo Nahi Jaata,
what's far away, why doesn't it leave my heart

Main Apni Hi Ulzi Hui Raho Ka Tamasha,
I'm a spectacle in my own confused path

Jate Hai Jidhar Sab, Main Udhar Kyo Nahi Jaata,
where everyone goes, why don't i go there

Woh Naam Jo Barso Se, Na Chera Na Badan Hai,
that name, which for years has been faceless and formless

Woh Khawaab Agar Hai To Bikhar Kyo Nahi Jaata
If it's a dream then why doesn't it shatter

Hosh walon ko khabar kya bekhudi With English Translation

Singer: Jagjit Singh
Music: Jatin-Lalit
Music: Sarfarosh (1999)

Hosh walon ko khabar kya bekhudi With English Translation

Hosh walon ko khabar kya bekhudi kya chiz hai
What do people in their right minds know about the experience of being enraptured

Ishq kijie phir samjhie zindagi kya chiz hai
Fall in love and you will understand what a wonder life is

Unse nazar kya mili roshan fizaen ho gain
No sooner did my eyes meet hers than the atmosphere brightened

Aaj jana pyar ki jadugari kya chiz hai
Today I realized what a wonder the magic of love is

Khulti zulfon ne sikhai mausamon ko shayari
The loosened locks of her hair taught the seasons poetry

Jhukti ankhon ne bataya maikashi kya chiz hai
Her lowered eyes showed me what a wonder intoxication can be

Ham labon se kah na pae unse hal-e-dil kabhi
I could never manage to speak the state of my heart to her

Aur voh samjhe nahin yeh khamoshi kya chiz hai   

And she never understood what wonders this silence meant

Sare jahaan se achha with English Translation

Shayar: Allama Iqbal

Sare jahaan se achha with English Translation

Saare jahaan se achha hindostaan hamaraa
Better than all the world, is our India

Hum bul bulain hai is kee, ye gulsitan hamaraa
We are its nightingales and this is our garden

Parbat vo sabse unchaa hum saaya aasma kaa
That mountain most high, neighbor to the skies

Vo santaree hamaraa, vo paasbaan hamaraa
It is our sentinel; it is our protector

Godee mein khel tee hain is kee hazaaron nadiya
A thousand rivers play in its lap

Gulshan hai jinke dum se, rashke janna hamaraa
Gardens they sustain, the envy of the heavens is ours

Mazhab nahee sikhataa apas mein bayr rakhnaa
Faith does not teach us to harbor grudges between us

Hindee hai hum, vatan hai hindostaan hamaraa
We are all Indians and India is our homeland

Ishq Hothon se to Hota With English Translation

Movie: Jo Hum Chahein
Music: Sachin Gupta
Lyrics: Kumaar
Singers: KK, Shreya Ghoshal

Ishq Hothon se to Hota With English Translation

Mujhe toh chand mil gaya, aaj teri aankhon mein
I have got the moon today in your eyes

Karoon kya aasmaan bataa, neendhon bin main raaton mein
Sky please tell me what should I do, I am sleepless

Sabhi bechain dhadkane, rakh de mere haathon pe
Keep all nervous heartbeat on my lips

Zara uljhi hai saans toh, rakh de meri saanson pe
If you feel tiredness to take breath then keep it's on my breath

Sharma rahi hain nazrein, tere chehre se jo guzre
With shy gazing they pass your face

Main kaise keh doon dil ki yeh dastaan
How can I say the story of my heart

Ishq hothon se toh hota nahi bayaan
Love cannot be expressed with lips

Iss liye pyaar mein aankhein bani zubaan
That is the reason when in love it's eyes speak

Na na na.. pyaar mein
No no.... In love

Chehre pe tere ghabrahatein hain kyun
Why is there nervousness on your face

Ruki ruki kadmon ki aahatein hain kyun
Why are there sounds of your feet stopping

Sehma hai pyaar ke, raasto pe dil
The heart is a little scared on the roads of love

Mujhko zara sa tu, faaslo pe mil
Meet me at a little distance

Dil mil jaaye toh kaisi yeh dooriyan
If heart meets then why this distance

Ishq hothon se toh hota nahi bayaan
Love cannot be expressed with lips

O.. dil yeh mera kisi ke paas beh gaya
My heart has flown to someone

Saanson mein ek naya ehsaas reh gaya
A new feeling lingers in my breaths

Hota hai sabko yeh tujhe bhi hua
It happens to all, now it has happened to you also

Poori hui hai tere khawabon ki dua
The wish of your dreams is fulfilled now

Na jaane kaise badla mera jahaan
Don’t know how my world is changed

Ishq hothon se toh hota nahi bayaan
Love cannot be expressed with lips

Sharma rahi hain nazrein, tere chehre se jo guzre
With shy gazing they pass your face

Main kaise keh doon dil ki yeh dastaan
How can I say the story of my heart

Ishq hothon se toh hota nahi bayaan
Love cannot be expressed with lips

Iss liye pyaar mein aankhein bani zubaan
That is the reason when in love it's eyes speak

Raat Khamosh Hai With English Translation

Singer: Jagjit Singh
Album: Muntazir

Raat Khamosh Hai With English Translation

Raat Khamosh Hai, Chand Madhosh Hai
the night is silent, the moon intoxicating

Tham Lena Mujhe, Ja Raha Hosh Hai
hold me, I'm losing my senses

Milan Ki Dastan, Dhadkano Ki Juban
stories of lovers meetings, sounds of beating hearts

Gaa Rahi Hai Zameen, Sun Raha Aasaman
the earth sings of them, the heavens listen

Gungunati Hawa, De Rahi Hai Sada
the singing wind is calling out

Sard Is Raat Ki, Garm Aagosh Hai
the night is cold but it's embrace is warm

Mahakti Yeh Fiza, Jaise Teri Ada
the scented atmosphere reminds me of your grace

Chha Raha Ruh Par, Jane Kaisa Nasha
what sort of intoxication has got hold of my spirit!

Jhumta Hai Jahaan, Ajab Hai Yeh Sama
the world is swaying, the air feels strange

Dil Ke Gulzar Main, Ishq Purzosh Hai
love is ardent in the garden of my heart

Mera dil bhi kitana with English Translation

Mera dil bhii kitanaa paagal hai
my heart is so very crazy

Ye pyaar to tum se karataa hai
that it is in love with you

Par saamane jab tum aate ho
but whenever you come in my sight

Kuchh bhii kahane se darataa hai
it is afraid of saying anything

O mere saajan, mere saajan, saajan saajan, mere saajan
O my love, my love, darling darling, o my love

Mera dil bhii kitanaa paagal hai
my heart is so crazy 

Kitanaa isako samajhaataa hoon
I try hard to make it understand 

Kitanaa isako bahalaataa hoon
i try so hard to reason with it 

Naadaan hai kuchh na samajhataa hai,
is innocent, doesn't understand anything 

Din raat ye aahen bharataa hai
keeps sighing night and day

Mera dil bhii kitanaa paagal hai
my heart is so very crazy

Har pal mujhako tadapaataa hai,
every moment it tortures me 

Mujhe saarii raat jagaataa hai
keeps me awake whole night

Is baat ki tumako khabar nahiin,
you may not be aware of this

Ye sirf tumhii pe marataa hai
It only craves for you

Mera dil bhii kitanaa paagal hai
my heart is so very crazy

kyaa qayaamat hai ke jin ke liye ruk ruk ke chale

koii batalaao ke ik umr kaa bichhadaa mahabuub
ittefaaqan kahiin mil jaaye to kyaa kahate hain

ye bhii andaaz-e-suKhan hai ke jafaa ko terii
Gamzaa-o-ishvaa-o-andaaz-o-adaa kahate hai.n

jab talak duur hai tuu terii parastish kar len

Ghazal Name:  

Aankh Se Door Na Ho Dil Se Utar Jayega

Aankh se duur na ho dil se utar jaayega
     waqt ka kya hai guzarta hai guzar jayega

     itna manoos na ho khilwat-e-gham se apni
     tu kabhi khud ko bhi dekhega to dar jayega

     tum sar-e-raah-e-wafa dekhte reh jaoge
     aur woh baam-e-rifaqat se utar jayega

     zindagi teri ata hai to yeh jaane wala
     teri bakhshish teri dahleez pe dhar jayega
--------
The Full Ghazal is Here

Aankh Se Duur Na Ho, Dil Se Utar Jaye Ga
Waqt Ka Kia Hai Guzarta Hai Guzar Jaye Ga

Itna Manoos Na Ho Khilwat-e-Gham Se Apni
TU Kubhi Khud Ko Bhi Dekhay Ga Tou Dar Jaye Ga

Tum Sar-e-Raah Wafa Dekhtay Reh Jao Ge
Aur Wo Baam-e-Rafaqat Se Utar Jaye Ga

Zindagi Teri Ata Hai Tou Ye Jaanay Wala
Teri Bakhshish Teri Dehleez Pe Dhar Jaye Ga

Doobtay Doobtay Kishti Ko Uchaala De Dun
Mein Nahi Koi TU Saahil Pe Utar Jaye Ga

Zabt Laazim Hai Magar Dukh Hai Qayamat Ka “Faraz”
Zaalim Ab Ke Bhi Na Roye Ga Tou Mar Jaye Ga

 Chandni Raat Ko Saher Kehna

Chandni Raat Ko Saher Kehna
Dosto Yoon Nahi, Magar Kehna,

Ab Kahaan Woh Bahaar Phoolon Ki
Gul-e-Nargis Ko Chashm-e-Tar Kehna,

Bujh Chuke Hain MUhabbaton Kay Charagh
In Diyaaron Ko Ab Khandar Kehna,

Raah Mein Lutt Kay Baythne Waalo
Ab Kisi Ko Na Humsafar Kehna,

Khud Ujaagar Karo Hunar Apna
Dosron Ko Na Kam Nazar Kehna,

Hum Ko Awaargi Kay Parde Mein
Dil Ki Baaten Edhar Udhar kehna,

Zikar Teraa Gali Gali Karna
Haal Apna Nagar Nagar kehna,

Ab Goya Azaab-e-Jaan Hai “Faraz”
Jo Bhi Kehna Ho Soch Kar kehna.

 Aansuon ki Tarah Nazron say Giraya Us Ne

Aansuon ki Tarah Nazron say Giraya Us Ne
Apni khabar Na Mili Kuch Aise khak Mein Milaya Us Ne

Elzaam Mujh Pe Lagaaya Magar Bewafa khud Tha
Pehle Dewana Banaya Phir Mujhey Thukraya Us Ne

Usko Mazaa Aata Hai Mujhko Sataane Mein
Mujhe Geeli Lakri ki Tarah Jalaya Us Ne

Aaya Na Tha Us ko Wadaa Wafaa Karnaa
Logon ko Jhota Apni Wafa ka Qisa Sunaya Us Ne

Tanhayon K Dard Se khoob Waqif Tha Woh “FARAZ”
Phir Bhi Dunya Mein Mujhe TANHA Baanaya Us Ne

Yeh dil ka chor ke is ki zaroortain thee bohat

Yeh dil ka chor ke is ki zaroortain thee bohat,
Wagarna tark-e-taluq ki soortain thee bohat,

Miley to toot roye na khul ke batain keen,
Ke jese ab dilon mein Kudurtain thee bohat,

Bula diye hain tere gham ne dukh zamane ke,
Khuda nahin tha tou pathar ki moortain thee bohat,

Dareeda peerhano ka khayal kya ata,
Ameer sheher ki apni zarooratain thee bohat,

Faraz dil ko nigahon se ikhtlaaf raha,
Wagarna sheher mein hum-shakal soortain thee bohat.

 Suna hai log usay aankh bhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai log usay aankh bhar ke dekhte hain
So us ke shahar main kuchh din thehr ke dekhte hain

Suna hai rabt hai us ko kharab halon se
So apne aap ko barbad kar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai dard ki gahak hain chashm-e nazuk us ki
So ham bhi us ki gali se guzar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ko bhi hai sher-o shayari se shagaf
So ham bhi mojazay apnay hunar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai bole to baton se phool jharrtay hain
Ye baat hai to chalo baat kar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai raat use chand takta rehta hai
Sitaray baam-e falak se utar kar dekhtay hain

Suna hai hashr hain us ki ghazaal si aankhain
Suna hai us ko hiran dasht bhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai din ko usay titliyan satati hain
Suna hai raat ko jugno thahar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai rat se barh kar hain kakulan us ki
Suna hai sham ko saye guzar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ki siyah chashmagi qiyamat hai
So us ko surma farosh aankh bhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ke labon se gulab jalate hain
So ham bahar par ilzaam dhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai aaina tamasal hai jabin us ka
Jo sada dill hain ban sanvar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai jab se hamail hain us ki gardan main
Mizaj aur hi lal-o gauhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai chashm-e tasavur se dasht-e imkan main
Palang zawaiya us ki kamar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ke badan ke tarash aisay hain
Ke phuul apani qabayain qatar ke dekhte hain

Woh sarvqad hai magar begul-e muraad nahin
Ke us shajar pe shagufay samar ke dekhte hain

Bas ek nigah se lutata hai qafila dil ka
So rahravaan-e tamannaa bhi dar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ke shabistan se mutasil hai behisht
Makin udhar ke bhi jalway idhar ke dekhte hain

Rukay tu gardishain us ka tawaf karti hain
Chalay to us ko zamanay theher ke dekhte hain

Kisay naseeb ke be parahan usay dekhay
Kabhi kabhi dar-o divaar ghar ke dekhte hain

Kahaniyan hi sahi sab mubalaghay hi sahi
Agar woh khawb hai tabeer kar ke dekhte hain

Ab us ke sheher main thehrain ke kooch kar jayan
Faraz aao sitaray safar ke dekhte hain

 Tum bhi khafa ho log bhi burhum hein dosto

tum bhi khafa ho log bhi burhum hein dosto
ab ho chala yaqin keh bouray hum hein dosto

kis ko hamare hal se nisbut hai kya karein
aankhein to dushmanooN ki bhi purnum hein dosto

apne siwa humaray na hoonay ka ghum kise
apni talaash mein to humein hum hein dosto

kuch aaj shaam hi se hai dil bhi bujha bujha
kuch shahr ke chiragh bhi mudhum hein dosto

iss shahr-e aarjo se bhi baahar nikal chalo
ab dil ki raunaqein bhi koi dum hein dosto

sub kuch sahi Faraz per itna zaroor hai
dunya mein aise loog bauhut kum hein dosto

Kiya Baad-e-Muraad Chal Rahi Hai,

Hum Hain Ke Faraib Kha Rahe Hain
Duniya Hai Ke Chaal Chal Rahi Hai,

Yoon Dil Mein Hai Teri Yaad Jaise
Weerane Mein Aag Jal Rahi Hai,

Rukh Pher Liya Hai Jab Se Tune
Duniya Ki Nazar Badal Rahi Hai,

Dar Pesh Hai Aaj Bhi Wohi Surat-e-Haal
Jo Soorat-e-Haal Kal Rahi Hai,

Itni Bhi “Faraz” Bad Dili Kiya ?
Sambhlo ! Ke Fizaa Badal Rahi Hai

ke jaise saaraa jahaan raazdaar apanaa hai

wo saamane ho to kab ikhtiyaar apanaa hai

zamaane bhar ke dukhon ko lagaa liyaa dil se
is aasare pe ke ik gamgusaar apanaa hai

wo jis ke haath se sinaafigaar apanaa hai

Hum jo toote to is tarah toote
Hum jo toote to is tarah toote
jaise hathon se girr k pathar par

koi shafaaf aaiina toote
jaise palkon se toot tha aansoo

jaise seene main ik kamaan toote
jaise umeed ki nazuk daali

barg mosam main na gahaan toote
jaise aankhon main khwab ki doori

waqt e takmeel se ulajh jaye
jaise pairon tale zameen nikle

jaise sar par yeh asmaan toote
jaise ik shaakh pe bharosa kia

is pe jitne thay aashiyaan toote
jaise wehshat se hosh aa jaye

jaise ta dair main dheyaan toote
ab jo raiza howay to sochte hain

kis nay dekha tha tootna apna
hum jo toote to raayegaan toote

Umar bhar ka maan toota, aur kya

Umar bhar ka maan toota, aur kya,
Morr aya, sath choota, aur kya,

Kon sach kehta hai, sach sunta hai kon,
Main bhi jhoota, tu bhi jhoota, aur kya,

Jaan se jaana zaroori to nahin,
Aashiqui mein sar to phoota, aur kya,

Rote huye laal pathar ho gaye,
Rafta rafta rang choota, aur kya,

Reh gaya tha yaad ka rishta faqat,
Akhrish yeh pul bhi toota, aur kya,

Us ki ankhain bhi kabhi sach bolti’n,
Dil to tha jhooton sa jhoota, aur kya,

Ghair to they ghair apne aap ko,
Sab se barh kar hum ne loota, aur kya,

aao dekho to zara baagh-e-wafaa,
Ab koi gul hai na boota, aur kya,

Fitna samaani mein yaksaan hain Faraz,
Apna dil ho ya kahuta, aur kya..

Har koi dil ki hatheli pe hai sehra rakhey

Har koi dil ki hatheli pe hai sehra rakhey,
Kisi ko sairaab kare woh kise pyasa rakhey

Umer bhar kaun nibata hai taluk itna
Ae meri jan ke dushman tujhe allah rakhe,

Humko acha nahin lagta koi humnam tera,
Koi tujhsa ho tu phir nam be tujhsa rakhey.

Dil b pagal hai us shaks se wabasta hai,
Jo kise aur ka na hone de na apna rakhey

Kam nahin tamam e ibadat bhi to hirs-e-zar se,
Fuqr to wo hai ke deen na duniya rakhey.

Hans na itna bhi faqeeron ke akelepan par,
Khuda meri tara tujh ko b tanha rakhe

Yeh qana at hai, ita-att hai ke chaht hai Faraz
Hum to razi hai wo jis haal mein jesaa rakhe

Janay Kion Shiksat Ka Azab Liye Phirta Hoon

Janay kion shiksat ka azab liye phirta hoon

main kiya hoon aur kia khuwab liye phirta hoon

us ne ik bar kiya tha sawal_e_Muhabbat

main her lamha wafa ka jawab liye phirta hoon

us ne poocha kab se nahi soye

main tab se rut jagon ka hisab liye phirta hoon

us ki khuwahish thi ke mery ankhoon main pani dikhay

main us waqat se Ansoon ka sailaab liye phirta hoon

AFSOOS KE WO PHIR BHI MAIRA NA HUWA *FARAZ*

MAIN JIS KI ARZOO KI KITAB LIYE PHIRTA HOON
