Date: 23-Apr-99 
Poet: Surender Malik 'Gumnaam' 

Before I present the second ghazal by 
the poet sung by Jagjit Singh, I would 
like to briefly mention the Jagjit Singh 
Gazal written by Nida Fazli in the new 
Hindi film 'Sarfarosh' - 

"hosh vaalo.n ko Khabar kyaa beKhudii kyaa chiiz hai 
ishq kiije phir samajhiye zi.ndagii kyaa chiiz hai" 

The sound track is worth buying just 
for the Gazal itself. The film is pretty 
good too (for a change) but that is a 
personal opinion. :-) 

Ok, here is the Gazal of the day: 

kaa.NTo.n kii chubhan pa_ii phuulo.n kaa mazaa bhii 
dil dard ke mausam me.n royaa bhii ha.Nsaa bhii 

aane kaa sabab yaad na jaane kii Khabar hai 
vo dil me.n rahaa aur use to.D gayaa bhii 

har ek se ma.nzil kaa pataa puuchh rahaa hai 
gumaraah mere saath huaa rahanumaa bhii 

'Gumnaam' kabhii apano.n se jo Gam huye haasil 
kuchh yaad rahe un me.n kuchh bhuul gayaa bhii
