Poet: Nida Fazli


A Nida Fazli ghazal, sung by Jagjit and Chitra Singh in 
their Come Alive concert/album. This is the first ghazal
in the album. I am sure most of you must have heard this
ghazal. For those of you who haven't, I would recommend
the entire Come Alive album. For those who have heard 
this ghazal, I am sure this will be welcome trip down 
memory lane. The ghazals is sung as a duet by Jagjit
and Chitra Singh.


duniyaa jise kahate hai.n jaaduu kaa khilonaa hai
mil jaaye to miTTii hai kho jaaye to sonaa hai

achchhaa-saa ko_ii mausam tanhaa-saa ko_ii aalam
har vaqt kaa ronaa to bekaar kaa ronaa hai

barasaat kaa baadal to diivaanaa hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachanaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

Gam ho ki Khushii dono.n kuchh der ke saathii hai.n
phir rastaa hii rastaa hai ha.Nsanaa hai na ronaa hai
