Jagjit Singh

Ye daulat bhi le lo, ye shoharat bhi le lo
Bhale chhin lo mujhase meri jawaani
Magar mujhako lauta do bachapan ka saawan
Wo kaagj ki kashti, wo baarish ka paani

Shola hun, bhadkane ki gujaarish nahin karata
Sach munh se nikal jaata hai, koshish nahin karata

Girati hui diwaar ka hamadard hun lekin
Chadhte hue suraj ki parastish nahin karata

Apani marji se kahaan apane safr ke ham hain
Rukh hawaaon ka jidhar ka hai udhar ke ham hain

Pahale har chiz thi apani magar ab lagata hai
Apane hi ghar men kisi dusare ghar ke ham hain

Ankhon men jal raha hai kyon bujhata nahin dhuan
Uthhata to hai ghata sa barasata nahin dhuan

Chulhen nahin jalaaye ya basti hi jal gi
Kuchh roj ho gaye hain ab uthhata nahin dhuan

Garaj baras pyaasi dharati par fir paani de maula
Chidiyon ko daane, bachchon ko guddhaani de maula

Do aur do ka jod hamesha chaar kahaan hota hai
Soch samajhawaalon ko thodi naadaani de maula

Badi naajuk hai ye mnjil, mohabbat ka safar hai
Dhadak ahista se ai dil, mohabbat ka safar hai

Chitthhi na koi sndes jaane wo kaun sa des
Jahaan tum chale gaye
Is dil pe laga ke thhes jaane wo kaun sa des
Jahaan tum chale gaye

Dekh lo awaaj de kar, paas apane paaoge
Aoge tanaha magar, tanaha nahin tum jaaoge

Dur rahakar bhi tum hi par rahati hai apani najr
Baahon men ham thaam lenge, jab bhi thhokar khaaoge

Ao mil jaae ham sugndh aur suman ki tarah
Ek ho jaae chalo jaan aur badan ki tarah

Dil ke mndir men saja rakhi hai murat teri
Mere jine ki to surat hai ye surat teri
Raat din saath raho sine men dhadkan ki tarah

Ye bata de mujhe zindagi
Pyaar ki raah ke hamasafr
Kis tarah ban gaye ajanabi

Ye bata de mujhe zindagi
Ful kyon saare murajha gaye
Kis liye bujh gi chaandani
