Intezaar

November 5th, 2009

Today’s nazm entitled “Intezaar”

chaand maddham hai aasmaaN chup hai

neeNd ki god meiN jahaaN chup hai

door vaadi meiN doodhiyaa baadal

jhuk ke parbat ko pyaar karte haiN

dil meiN naakaam hasrateiN lekar

ham tera intezaar karte haiN

in bahaaroN ke saaye meiN aa jaa

phir muhabbat javaaN rahe na rahe

zindagii tere naamuraadoN par

kal talak meharbaaN rahe na rahe

roz ki tarah aaj bhi taare

subah ki gard meiN na kho jaayeiN

aa tire Gham meiN jaagtii aaNkheiN

kam se kam ek raat so jaayeiN

chaand maddham hai aasmaaN chup hai

neend ki god meiN jahaaN chup hai

tum mujhe bhool bhi jaaoOctober 30th, 2009

A beautiful, yes an extremely beautiful song from movie “Didi” sung expertly by Sudha Malhotra and Mukesh

and composed by Sudha Malhotra as well, this remains one of my favourite Sahir songs. Video attached at the bottom:Sudha:tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to ye haq hai tumko

meri baat aur hai maiN ne to muhabbat ki haimere dil ki mere jazabaat ki qeemat kyaa hai

uljhe uljhe se Khayaalaat ki qeemat kyaa haimaiN ne kyuuN pyaar kiya, tumne na kyuuN pyaar kiya

in pareshaan savaalaat kii qeemat kyaa hai

tum jo ye bhi na bataao to ye haq hai tumko

meri baat aur hai maiN ne to muhabbat ki hai

tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to ye haq hai tumkoMukesh:

zindagii sirf muhabbat nahiiN kuchh aur bhi haizulf-o-ruKhsaar ki jannat nahiiN kuchh aur bhi hai

bhookh aur pyaas kii maarii hui is duniyaa meiNishq hi ek haqeeqat nahiiN kuchh aur bhi hai

tum agar aaNkh churaao to ye haq hai tumkomaiN ne tumse hi nahiiN, sab se muhabbat ki hai

Sudha:tumko duniyaa ke Gham-o-dard se fursat na sahi

sabse ulfat sahii, mujhse hi muhabbat na sahi

maiN tumhaari huuN, yahi mere liye kyaa kam hai

tum mere hoke raho, ye merii qismat na sahii

aur bhi dil ko jalaao to ye haq hai tumkomeri baat aur hai, maiN ne to muhabbat ki hai

tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to ye haq hai tumko
