Interesting Fact
Film: Ghazal 1964
taaj tere liye ik maz.har-e-ulfat hī sahī
tujh ko is vādi-e-rañgīñ se aqīdat hī sahī
merī mahbūb kahīñ aur milā kar mujh se
bazm-e-shāhī meñ ġharīboñ kā guzar kyā ma.anī
sabt jis raah meñ hoñ satvat-e-shāhī ke nishāñ
us pe ulfat bharī rūhoñ kā safar kyā ma.anī
merī mahbūb pas-e-parda-e-tash.hīr-e-vafā
tū ne satvat ke nishānoñ ko to dekhā hotā
murda-shāhoñ ke maqābir se bahalne vaalī
apne tārīk makānoñ ko to dekhā hotā
an-ginat logoñ ne duniyā meñ mohabbat kī hai
kaun kahtā hai ki sādiq na the jazbe un ke
lekin un ke liye tash.hīr kā sāmān nahīñ
kyūñki vo log bhī apnī hī tarah muflis the
ye imārāt o maqābir ye fasīleñ ye hisār
mutlaq-ul-hukm shahanshāhoñ kī azmat ke sutūñ
sīna-e-dahr ke nāsūr haiñ kohna nāsūr
jazb hai un meñ tire aur mire ajdād kā ḳhuuñ
merī mahbūb unheñ bhī to mohabbat hogī
jin kī sannā.ī ne baḳhshī hai use shakl-e-jamīl
un ke pyāroñ ke maqābir rahe benām-o-numūd
aaj tak un pe jalā.ī na kisī ne qindīl
ye chaman-zār ye jamunā kā kināra ye mahal
ye munaqqash dar o dīvār ye mehrāb ye taaq
ik shahanshāh ne daulat kā sahārā le kar
ham ġharīboñ kī mohabbat kā uḌāyā hai mazāq
merī mahbūb kahīñ aur milā kar mujh se
taj tere liye ek mazhar-e-ulfat hi sahi
tujh ko is wadi-e-rangin se aqidat hi sahi
meri mahbub kahin aur mila kar mujh se
bazm-e-shahi mein gharibon ka guzar kya mani
sabt jis rah mein hon satwat-e-shahi ke nishan
us pe ulfat bhari ruhon ka safar kya mani
meri mahbub pas-e-parda-e-tashhir-e-wafa
tu ne satwat ke nishanon ko to dekha hota
murda-shahon ke maqabir se bahalne wali
apne tarik makanon ko to dekha hota
an-ginat logon ne duniya mein mohabbat ki hai
kaun kahta hai ki sadiq na the jazbe un ke
lekin un ke liye tashhir ka saman nahin
kyunki wo log bhi apni hi tarah muflis the
ye imaraat o maqabir ye fasilen ye hisar
mutlaq-ul-hukm shahanshahon ki azmat ke sutun
sina-e-dahr ke nasur hain kohna nasur
jazb hai un mein tere aur mere ajdad ka KHun
meri mahbub unhen bhi to mohabbat hogi
jin ki sannai ne baKHshi hai use shakl-e-jamil
un ke pyaron ke maqabir rahe benam-o-numud
aaj tak un pe jalai na kisi ne qindil
ye chaman-zar ye jamuna ka kinara ye mahal
ye munaqqash dar o diwar ye mehrab ye taq
ek shahanshah ne daulat ka sahaara le kar
hum gharibon ki mohabbat ka uDaya hai mazaq
meri mahbub kahin aur mila kar mujh se
