aag bahte huye pani mein laga aaya hu

[leleram]

my favourite Gazal sung by "Jagjit Singh"

"jin ko duniyan ki nigahoon se chupaayen rakkhan,
jin ko ek umar kalejen se lagaayen rakkhan,

dil ne jin ko dil-e-iman banaayen rakkhan,
toonnay duniyan ki nagaahoon se joo bach kar likkhen,

saalhaan saal mere naam barabar likkhen,
kabhi din me to kabhi raat main uth kar likhen,

teri khushbu main basse khat main jala ta kese?
pyyar main doobay howe khat main jala ta kese?

tere haatoon ke likhen khat main jala ta kese?
tere khat main aaj main ganga main bahata kese?
aag behte hoowe paani main lagaya kese?"

[Mahamuni]

Juda hum jo duniya se honey lagey
To sab hath mal mal ke roney lagey

Abhi kuch ziyada bhi din kab huwey
ki charchey hamare hi honey lagey

Qadar un ko meri hui mere baad
Woh aansoo se daaman bhigoney lagey

Koi khas baat un ko yaad aagayi
Pasiney pasiney woh honey lagey

Mere pyar ka khoob badlah diya
Woh nashtar sey dil mein chubhoney lagey

Meri yaad jab bhi unhein aagayi
Woh lariyon mein aansoo pironey lagey

Khuda jaane kya aap ne keh diya
ki ab jaan sey hath dhoney lagey

Bazahir badey qadd key jo log thay
Jo dekha to bus wohi bauney lagey
