taNg aa chuke haiN kash-ma-kash-e-zindagi se ham
Parts of this Ghazal were also sung by Mohd. Rafi in the movie ‘Pyaasa’
taNg aa chuke haiN kash-ma-kash-e-zindagi se ham
Thukraa na deiN, jahaaN ko kahiiN bedili se ham
maayoosi-e-ma’aal-e-muhabbat na poochhiye
apnoN se pesh aaye haiN begaanagii se ham
lo aaj hamne toR diyaa rishta-e-ummeed
lo ab kabhii gilaa na kareiNge kisii se ham
ubhreiNge ek baar abhii dil ke valvale
go dab gaye haiN baar-e-Gham-e-zindagii se ham
gar zindagii meiN mil gayee phir ittafaaq se
poochheiNge apnaa haal tirii bebasii se ham
allah re fareb-e-masheeyat k aaj tak
duniyaa ke zulm sahte rahe Khamushii se ham
Glossary:
kash-ma-kash-e-zindagi = life’s puzzles, confusions
maayoosi-e-ma’aal-e-muhabbat = the disappointement because of the result of love
rishta-e-ummeed = the relation with hope
baar-e-Gham-e-zindagii = the weight of lifes’ worries
fareb-e-masheeyat = divine scam! (for lack of a better word perhaps)
Add these sher from Lighthouse (N Dutta, Sahir, Asha):
o aasamaan waale kabhii to nigaah kar
kab tak ye zulm sahate rahe.n Khaamoshii se ham
Nice website, keep up the good work, Animesh
