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.

Thanks for those nice comments. The last verse listed under the lyrics was excluded by Jagjit for this rendition from his album Visions.
