GHULAM ALI: Ek lamha maykade mein jo ham log aa gaye

Ek lamha maykade men jo ham log aa gaye;
Kuch baat-cheet kar gaye kutch hans-hans gaye!

Ab isamein apni surat-e-raana na dekhiye;
Ab dil ke aaine men kahi baar aa gaye!
Dam le ke ek lamha chale jaayenge faqeer;
Sunke tumhaare kuld ki taareef aa gaye!

Kitne haseen log the jo mil ke ek baar;
Aankhon mein jazb ho gaye dil men sama gaye!

GHULAM ALI: Ak pagali mera naam jo le sharamaaye bhi ghabaraaye bhi

Ak pagali mera naam jo le sharamaaye bhi ghabaraaye bhi;
Galiyon galiyon mujhase milane aaye bhi ghabaraaye bhi!

Raat gaye ghar jaane waali gumasum ladaki raahon mein;
Apani ulajhi zulfon ko sulajhaaye bhi ghabaraaye bhi!

Kaun bichhad kar phir lautega kyon aawaara phirate ho;
Raaton ko ek chaand mujhe samajhaaye bhi ghabaraaye bhi!

Aane waali rut ka kitana kauf hai usaki aankhon mein;
Jaane waala door se haath hilaaye bhi ghabaraaye bhi!

GHULAM ALI: Ek nagma ek taara ek guncha ek jaam

Ek nagma ek taara ek guncha ek jaam;
Ai gam-e-dauraan gam-e-dauraan tujhe mera salaam!

Zulf aawaara garebaan chaak ghabaraayi nazar;
In dinon ye hai jahaan mein zindagaani ka nizaam!

Chand taare tuut kar daaman mein mere aa gire;
Main ne poonchha tha sitaaron se tere gam ka maqaam!

Pad gayin pairaahan-e-subah-e-chaman par salawatein;
Yaad aa kar rah gayi hai bekudi ki ek shaam!

Teri ismat ho ke ho mere hunar ki chaandani;
Waqt ke baazaar mein har chiz ke lagate hain daam!

GHULAM ALI: Ek hamein aawaara kahana koi bada ilzaam nahi

Ek hamein aawaara kahana koi bada ilzaam nahi;
Duniya waale dil waalon ko aur bahut kuch kahate hain!

Wohi mizaaj wohi chaal hai zamaane ki;
Hamein bhi ho gai aadat fareb khaane ki!

Main saare shahar mein tanha nahi hua ruswa;
Saza mili hai tumhen bhi to dil lagaane ki!

Sharaab milati hai lekin hamaari pyaas se kam;
Ajeeb rasm hai saaqi yahaan pilaane ki!

Nazar bacha ke tumhen dekhata hoon mahafil men;
Nazar lage na kaheen tumako is diwaane ki!

GHULAM ALI: Dukh ki laher ne chheda hoga

Dukh ki laher ne chheda hoga;
Yaad me kankar pheka hoga!

Aaj to mera dil kehta hain;
woh is waqt, akela hoga!

Main to aaj bahut roya hun;
Tu bhi shayad roya hoga!

Mere chume huye haathon se;Auro ko khat likhta hoga!

Mera sathi sam ka tara;
Tujhase aakh milata hoga!

Yaadon ki jalti shabnam se;
Phoolon sa mukhra dhoya hoga!

Naasir tera meet purana;
Tujhko yaad to aata hoga!

GHULAM ALI: DILON KO TODNE WAALON TUMHE KISI SE KYA

DILON KO TODNE WAALON TUMHE KISI SE KYA;
MILO TO AANKH CHURAA LO TUMHE KISI SE KYA!

MUJHE KHUD APNI NAZAR MEN BANA KE BEGAANA;
JAHAN KO APNA BANALO TUMHE KISI SE KYA!

NAZAR BACHAAKE GUZAR JAAO MEREE TURBAT SE;
KISI PE KHAAK NA DAALO TUMHE KISI SE KYA!

HAMAREE LAGHZISH-E-PAA KA KHAYAAL KYON HAI TUMHE;
TUM APNI CHAAL SAMBHALO TUMHE KISI SE KYA!

GHULAM ALI: Dilawaalon kya dekh rahe ho in raahon mein

Dilawaalon kya dekh rahe ho in raahon mein, in raahon mein;
Had-e-nazar tak ye viraani saath chalegi, saath chalegi!

Sannaate phir shama ke aansu chaat rahe hain, chaat rahe hain;
Ye basti jo ujad gayi hai ab na basegi, ab na basegi!

Ghar ke andar saare jangal ka sannaata, sannaata;

Shaam huyi to is jangal mein hawa chalegi, hawa chalegi!

Jinake haathon dil ki ye tauhin huyi hai, tauhin huyi hai;
Unake liye bhi ye duniya aisi na rahegi, aisi na rahegi!

'Razi Miyaan' tum shaam se kaise chup baithe ho, chup baithe ho;
Kuchh to bolo aisi chup se baat badhegi, baat badhegi!
