Year: 1988

Lyrics: Mirza Ghalib

phir kuch is dil ko beqaraari hai
seena zoyaa-e-zakhm-e-kaari hai

phir jigar khodne lagaa naakhun
aamad-e-fasl-e-laalaakaari hai

phir usi bevafaa pe marte hai
phir vahi zindagi hamaari hai

be khudi be sabab nahi 'Ghalib'
kuch to hai jis ki pardaadaari hai

uthe sabake kadam.. tara ram pam pam

hanso aur hansaaya karo

vo pyaare din aur vo pyaari raatein
yaad hame hain vo mulaakaatein
nahin koi gam mujhe nahin hai gilaa
zindagi ki raah mein mila hai jabse tu mere hamdam
shabanam ham hain aur tum shola ban jaayaa karo

rang nayaa hai roop nayaa hain
jeene kaa to jaane kahan dhang gayaa hain
kise hai fikar inhen kyaa pasand
pyar ke jahan mein razaamand jab ham tum tum ham
ban gaye hain sanam bedhadak mere ghar aayaa karo

Lyrics: Gulzar

dil dhoondta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
baithe rahe tasavvur-e-jaanaa kiye hue

jadhonki narm dhoop aur aangan mein let kar
ankhon pe khinchkar tere aanchal ke saye ko
andhe pade rahe kabhi karvat liye hue

barfili sardiyon mein kisi bhi pahaad par
vaadi mein goonjti huyi khaamoshiyaa sune
ankhon mein bheege bheege se lamhe liye hue

Originally rendered for the movie Daddy, a ghazal by Talat Aziz with Rajesh Roshan's music.

Movie: Daddy
Year: 1991
Singer: Talat Aziz
Music: Rajesh Roshan
Lyrics: Suraj Sanim

Aaina mujse meri pehli si surat mange
Mere apne meri hone ki nishani mange

Mein bhatakata hi raha dard ke viraane mein
Waqt likhta raha chere pe har pal ka hishab
Meri shorat meri diwangi ki nazar hui
Pi gayi may ki bolte meri geeto ki kitab
Aaj lauta hoon tu hasne ki ada bhool gaya
Yeh shahar bhoola muje mein bhi ishe bhool gaya

Mera fan phir muje bazaar mein le aaya hai
Yeh vo jagah ke jahan mero vafa bikate hain
Baap bikate hain aur lakhte jigar bikate hain
Kookh bikati hain dil bikate hain sar bikate hain
Is badalti hui duniya ka khuda koi nahin
Saste daamo pe yahan roz khuda bikate hain

Har kharidaar ko bazaar mein bikataa paya
Hum kya paayenge kisi ne yahaan kya paayaa
Mere aheshas mere phool kahin aur chale
Bol pujaa meri bachi kahin aur chale aur chale

A memorable Bhupinder ghazal with Khayyam's music, originally for the movie Ahista Ahista

Movie: Ahista Ahista
Year: 1981
Singer: Bhupinder Singh
Music: Khayyam
Lyrics: Nida Fazli

Kabhi Kisi Ko Muqamal Jahan Nahin Milta
Kahin Zamin To Kahin Aasmaan Nahi Milta

Jise Bhi Dekhiye Vo Apne Aap Mein Gum Hain
Zubah Mili Hain Magar Humzubah Nahin Milta

Bujha Saka Hain Bhala Kaun Waqt Ke Shole
Ye Aisi Aag Hain Jisme Dhuan Nahin Milta

Tere Zahan Mein Aisa Nahin Ki Pyar Na Ho
Zaha Umeed Ho Iski Wahan Nahin Milta

One of my favorite Jagjit Singh nazms from one of his early works in Visions.

Album: Visions
Year: 1991
Singer: Jagjit Singh
Lyrics: Rana Sahri

Lyrics:

koi dost hai na raqeeb hai
tera sehar kitna ajeeb hai

woh jo ishq tha woh junoon tha
yeah jo hijr hai ye naseeb hai.

main kise kahoon mere saath chal
yahan sab ke sar pe saleeb hai

yahan kiska chehra padha karoon
yahan kaun itna kareeb hai

tujhe dekh kar main hun sochta
tu habeeb hai ya raqeeb hai

aanewala pal jaanewala hain
ho sake to is mein zindagi bitaado
pal jo yeh jaanewala hain

ek baar yoon mili maasoom si kali
khilte hue kahaan pushpaash mein chali
dekha to yahin hai dhundha to nahin hain
pal jo yeh jaanewala hain

ek baar waqt se lamha gira kahin
wahan dastan mili lamha kahin nahin
thoda sa hasaake thoda sa rulaake
pal ye bhi jaanewala hain
