Updating with a song this time, technically I can easily classify this under nazm as well as it is a beautiful nazm, but it was sung in Pyaasaa (Guru Dutt, 1957, Mohd. Rafi). Attaching the video as well at the bottom from youtube.
ye haNste hue phool, ye mahka hua gulshan
ye raNg meiN aur noor meiN, Doobi hui raaheiN
ye phooloN ka ras pee ke machalte hue bhaNvre
maiN douN bhi to kyaa douN tumheiN aie shoKh nazaaroN
le de ke mere paas, kuchh aaNsoo haiN kuchh aaheiN
Happy new year folks! Thanks for being loyal readers of this blog and for loving Sahir’s poetry. Here’s a song by Sahir from the movie “Phir Subah Hogi”. Video at the bottom.
vo subah kabhii to aayegi! vo subah kabhii to aayegii!
in kaali sadiyoN ke sar se jab raat ka aaNchal Dhalkega
jab dukh ke baadal pighleiNge, jab sukh ka saagar chhalkega
jab ambar jhoom ke naachega, jab dharti naGhme gaayegi!
vo subah kabhii to aayegi!
ji subah ki Khaatir jug jug se, ham sab mar markar jeete haiN
jis subah ke amrit ki dhun meiN, ham zahr ke pyaale peete haiN
in bhooki-pyaasii roohoN par ik din to karam farmaayegi
vo subah kabhii to aayegii!
maanaa ki abhii tere-mere armaanoN ki qeemat kuchh bhi nahiiN
miTTii kaa bhii hai kuchh mol magar, insaanoN ki qeemat kuchh bhi nahiiN
insaanoN ki izzat jab jhooTe sikkoN meiN na toli jaayegi
vo subah kabhii to aayegii!
daulat ke liye jab aurat ki ismat ko na becha jaayegaa
chaahat ko na kuchlaa jaayega, Ghairat ko na bechaa jaayegaa
apnii kaali kartootoN par jab ye duniyaa sharmaayegii
vo subah kabhii to aayegii!
beeteiNge kabhii to din aaKhir, ye bhook ke aur bekaari ke
TuuTeiNge kabhii to but aaKhir, daulat kii ijaaraadaari ke
jab ek anokhi duniyaa ki buniyaad uThaayii jaayegii
vo subah kabhii to aayegii!
majboor buRhaapaa jab suuni aahoN ki dhuul na phaaNkega
maasoom laRakpan jab gandi, galiyoN meiN bheek na maaNgegaa
haq maaNgne waaloN ko jis din sooli na dikhaayii jaayegii!
vo subah kabhii to aayegii!
phaaqoN ki chitaaoN par jis din insaaN na jalaaye jaayeiNge
seenoN ke dahakte dozaKh meiN armaaN na jalaaye jaayeiNge
ye nark se bhi gandi duniyaa, jab svarg banaayii jaayegii
vo subah kabhii to aayegii!
jis subah ki Khaatir jug jug se, ham sab mar markar jeete haiN
jis subah ke amrit ki dhun meiN ham zahr ke pyaale peete haiN
vo subah na aaye aaj magar, vo subah kabhii to aayegii!!
vo subah kabhii to aayegii!
vo subah kabhii to aayegii!
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 hai
mere dil ki mere jazabaat ki qeemat kyaa hai
uljhe uljhe se Khayaalaat ki qeemat kyaa hai
maiN 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 tumko
Mukesh:
zindagii sirf muhabbat nahiiN kuchh aur bhi hai
zulf-o-ruKhsaar ki jannat nahiiN kuchh aur bhi hai
bhookh aur pyaas kii maarii hui is duniyaa meiN
ishq hi ek haqeeqat nahiiN kuchh aur bhi hai
tum agar aaNkh churaao to ye haq hai tumko
maiN 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 tumko
meri baat aur hai, maiN ne to muhabbat ki hai
