Poet: Ganesh Bihari 'Tarz'

Today's ghazal is from an album titled '2 Legends'
with ghazals by Jagjit Singh and Mehdi Hassan. This
is somewhat like the Ghazal Greats album featuring
ghazals by Jagjit Singh and Ghulam Ali albeit without
any commentary preceding the songs. This ghazal has
been sung by Mehdi Hassan.


ishq kii maar ba.Dii dardiilii ishq me.n jii na pha.Nsaanaa jii
sab kuchh karanaa ishq na karanaa ishq se jaan bachaanaa jii

vaqt na dekhe umar na dekhe jab chaahe majabuur kare
maut aur ishq ke aage to ko_ii chale na bahaanaa jii

ishq kii Thokar maut kii hichakii dono.n kaa hai ek asar
ek kare ghar ghar rusvaa_ii ek kare afsaanaa jii

ishq kii nemat phir bhii yaaro har nemat par bhaarii hai
ishq kii Tiise.n den Khudaa kii ishq se kyaa ghabaraanaa jii

ishq kii nazaro.n me.n yaksaa.N kaabaa kyaa but_Khaanaa kyaa
ishq me.n duniyaa uqbaa kyaa hai kyaa apanaa begaanaa jii

raah kaThin hai pii ke nagar kii aag pe chal ke jaanaa hai
ishq hai sii.Dhii pii ke milan kii jo chaaho to nibhaanaa jii

'Tarz' bahut din jhel chuke tum duniyaa kii zanjiiro.n ko
to.D ke pinjaraa ab to tumhe.n hai des piyaa ke jaanaa jii
