I haven't heard any ghazal singer sing this other
than Habib Wali Mohammed. This was recorded from 
a 78 rpm record. Is it available in any of Habib
Wali Mohammed's released albums?


aashiyaa.N jal gayaa gulsitaa.N luT gayaa 
ham qafas se nikal kar kidhar jaaye.nge 
itane maanuus sayyaad se ho gaye 
ab rihaa_ii milegii to mar jaaye.nge 

aur kuchh din ye dastuur-e-maiKhaanaa hai 
tashnaakaamii ke ye din guzar jaaye.nge 
mere saaqii ko nazare.n uThaane to do 
jitane Khaalii hai.n sab jaam bhar jaaye.nge 

ai nasiim-e-sahar tujh ko un kii qasam 
un se jaakar na kahanaa meraa haal-e-Gam 
apane miTane kaa Gam to nahii.n hai magar 
Dar ye hai un ke gesuu bikhar jaaye.nge 

ashk-e-Gam leke aaKhir kahaa.N jaaye.n ham 
aa.Nsuo.n kii yahaa.N ko_ii qiimat nahii.n 
aap hii apanaa daaman ba.Daa diijiye 
varanaa motii zamii.n par bikhar jaaye.nge 

kaale kaale vo gesuu shikan dar shikan 
vo tabassum kaa aalam chaman dar chaman 
khe.nch lii un kii tasviir dil ne mere 
ab vo daaman bachaa kar kidhar jaaye.nge
