Tumhaare khat mein naya ik salaam kiska tha

Saw this on Sigma's blog. loved it and wanted to put it up here as well

Daag Dehlvi ...

Tumhaare khat mein naya ik salaam kiska tha
na tha raqib to aakhir vo naam kiska tha

vo qatl kar ke har kissi se puchhate hain
ye kaam kiss ne kiya hai ye kaam kiska tha

vafaa karenge nibhaayenge baat maanenge
tumhen bhi yaad hai kuch ye kalaam kiska tha

rahaa na dil mein vo be-dard aur dard rahaa
muqim kaun hua hai maqaam kiska tha

na puuch-paach thi kissi ki na aav-bhagat
tumhaari bazm mein kal ehatamaam kiska tha

humaare khat ke to purze kiye padhaa bhi nahin
sun jo tum ne baa-dil vo payaam kiska tha

inhin sifaat se hota hai aadmi mashahuur
jo lutf aap hi karte to naam kiska tha

guzar gayaa vo zamaanaa kahen to kiss se kahen
khayaal dil ko mere subah-o-shaam kiska tha

har ek se kahte hain kya "daag" bevafaa nikla
ye puuche in se koi vo gulaam kiska tha

Haaye! Maar daala...

Had heard this beautiful ghazal in the voice of Ghulam Ali.

Breath-taking poetry and when rendered by the maestro it was sheer magic!

Thanks Sigma! And thank you Raj for the memories.




PS: Your highlighting of certain shers has not gone unnoticed. May you find inner peace, dost. Yeh dil se dua hai.

Amazing. Ghulam Ali is amazing.
