Another popular ghazal, this time from the Jagjit Singh-Lata album Sajda:


dard se meraa daaman bhar de yaa allaah 
phir chaahe diivaanaa kar de yaa allaah 

mai.n ne tujh se chaa.Nd sitaare kab maa.Nge 
raushan dil bedaar nazar de yaa allaah 

[bedaar = awake]

suuraj sii ik chiiz to ham sab dekh chuke 
sach-much kii ab ko_ii sahar de yaa allaah 

[sahar = dawn/morning]

yaa dhartii ke zaKhmo.n par maraham rakh de 
yaa meraa dil patthar kar de yaa allaah
