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

  • कोई दोस्त है न रकीब है,

    तेरा शहर कितना अजीब है.

    वह जो इश्क था वह जूनून था,

    ये जो हिज्र है ये नसीब है.

    यहाँ किसका चेहरा पढ़ करूं,

    यहाँ कौन इतना करीब है.

    मैं किसे कहूं मेरे साथ चल,

    यहाँ सब के सर पे सलीब है.

  • @OreoCookieOreo Urdu is my mother tongue and I know it better than you... The word raqeeb is derived from the root word Qurb i.e Qurbat which means someone very close. and Hijar means Judai not journey urdu word for journey is safar. yes you are right naseeb means qismat. You are right again Saleeb means Cross.

  • @chinto1985 Raqeeb does NOT mean someone very close. It means rival, someone you're competing against, opposite of friend.

    Other meanings in case anyone is confused. Hijar means journey. In this it's implying journey away from home. Naseeb means Qismat or in English, fate or destiny. In this it's implying living away from home is written in fate.

    Saleeb means cross. In this it's implying death. "Sir pai saleeb hai" as in cross on your grave commonly used by Christians. Metaphor for death.

  • I can not express in words how beautiful and deep this ghazal is...truely heart-touching!

  • कोई दोस्त है न रकीब है

    तेरा शहर कितना अजीब है

    वो जो इश्क था वो जूनून

    ये जो हिज्र है ये नसीब है ...तेरा शहर कितना अजीब है

    ये किसका चेहरा पड़ा करूं

    ये कौन इतना करीब है ......तेरा शहर कितना अजीब है

    मैं किसे कहूं मेरे साथ चल

    यहाँ सबके सर पे सलीब है

    कोई दोस्त है न रकीब है ....तेरा शहर कितना अजीब है

  • @vishitrade Raqeeb doesn't mean enemy.. it means someone very close

  • very nice

    

  • very touchy for those who live wihout their freinds

  • @hyderabadee

    raqeeb means enemy
