More than a year ago, I had posted this ghazal. I am re-posting 
this for a reason. This ghazal is very dear to me for sentimental 
reasons. It is perhaps the first ghazal I ever heard. My father 
used to sing it when I was small. Unfortunately he doesn't 
remember who the poet is or who the original singer was. Nor 
do I have a recording of the ghazal. Since Mehfil-e-Gazal's 
membership has more than doubled since then, I am hoping 
someone can provide some information about this. 


baat chalii terii aa.Nkho.n se jaa pahu.Nchii paimaane tak 
khii.nch rahii hai terii ulfat aaj mujhe maiKhaane tak 

ishq kii baate.n Gam kii baate.n duniyaa vaale karate hai.n 
kis ne shammaa kaa dukh dekhaa kaun gayaa paravaane tak 

ishq nahii.n hai tum ko mujh se sirf bahaane karatii ho 
yuu.N hii bahaane qaayam rakhanaa tum mere mar jaane tak 

itanaa hii kahanaa hai tum se mumkin ho to aa jaanaa 
aa hii gaye to rukanaa hogaa aa.Nkho.n ke patharaane tak 


It is possible that this has been sung by Mohammed Rafi since 
the other ghazals that my father liked to hear/sing were mostly 
by him. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
