Umrao Jaan

Araju thi hamen itana jahe kismat mil jaae
Saari duniya men kisise to mohabbat mil jaae
Jiteji paaya n kuchh hamane jamaanewaalon
Ab janaaje ko to rukhasat ki ijaajat mil jaae

Waada kar ke nibhaanewaale kam hote hain
Ishk na karana, ishk men gam hi gam hote hain

Main na mil sakun jo to tumase, meri justaju na karana
Tumhen meri hi kasam hai, meri arazu na karana

Tum jo paas a ge, ham jo sharama ge
Raaj-e-dil pa ge, tum bhi pahale pahal, ham bhi pahale pahal

Jab nigaahen mili, dil men kaliyaan khili
Jaisa lahara ge, tum bhi pahale pahal, ham bhi pahale pahal

Dekha hamen kuchh aise ke bahaka diya hamen
Tum ne to khwaab dekhana sikhala diya hamen
Us zindagi se kaise sitam ko gila kare
Jis zindagi ne ap se milawa diya hamen
Dekha hamen kuchh aise ke bahaka diya hamen

Ye kya jagah hai dosto, ye kaun sa dayaar hai
Had-e-nigaah tak jahaan, gubaar hi gubaar hai

Ye kis makaam par hayaat mujhako le ke a gayi
Na bas khushi pe hai jahaan, na gam pe ikhtiyaar hai

In ankhon ki masti ke mastaane hazaaron hain
In ankhon se waabasta afasaane hazaaron hain

Ek tum hi nahin tanaha, ulfat men meri rusawa
Is shahar men tum jaise diwaanen hazaaron hain

Dil chij kya hai, ap meri jaan lijie
Bas ek baar mera kaha maan lijie

Is anjuman men apako ana hai baar baar
Diwaar-o-dar ko gaur se pahachaan lijie

Justaju jisaki thi us ko to n paaya hamane
Is bahaane se magar dekh li duniya hamane

Tujhako rusawa n kiya, khud bhi pashemaan n hue
Ishk ki rasm ko is tarah nibhaaya hamane

Jindagi jab bhi teri bajm men laati hai hamen
Ye jmin chaand se behatar nazar ati hai hamen

Surkh fulon se mahak uthhati hain dil ki raahen
Din dhale yun teri awaaj bulaati hai hamen
