Fill In The Blanks [72]

der lagii aane me.n / sunii sunaa_ii baat nahii.n

Contributed by Fazle Naqvi



Song #2285 in the ISB is part of a Jagjit Singh ghazal. Here is the song as it is in the ISB. One correction is that the poet's name is "Andleeb Shadani", not "Andaleeb Shadani".

sunii sunaayii baat nahii.n hai, apane uupar biitiiI hai
phuul nikalate hai.n sholo.n se, jab chaahat aag lagaye to

shafaaq, dhanak, mahataab, ghaTae.n, taare, naGame.n, bijalii, phuul
kyaa\-kyaa us daaman me.n hai, vo daaman haath me.n aaye to


Perhaps the reason only these two shers are given here is that in one of his live concerts, Jagjit Singh was singing a medley of ghazals and he sang just these two couplets. The full song is as follows. This version corrects the two verses given above and places them in the right order. Note that the Gazal does not begin with the verse "sunii sunaa_ii baat":

der lagii aane me.n tum ko shukar hai phir bhii aaye to
aas ne dil kaa saath na chho.Daa vaise ham ghabaraaye to

shafaq dhanuk mahataab ghaTaaye.n taare naGme.n bijalii phuul
us daaman me.n kyaa kyaa kuchh hai vo daaman haath me.n aaye to

sunii sunaa_ii baat nahii.n hai apane uupar biitii hai
phuul nikalate hai.n sholo.n se, chaahat aag lagaaye to

jhuuTh hai sab taariiK hameshaa apane ko dohoraatii hai
achchhaa meraa Kvaab\-e\-javaanii tho.Daa saa doharaaye to
There are additional couplets of the ghazal not sung by Jagjit Singh:

chaahat ke badale me.n ham to bech de.n apanii marzii tak
ko_ii mile to dil kaa gaahak ko_ii hame.n apanaaye to

kyuu.N ye maharangez tabassum madd\-e\-nazar jab kuchh bhii nahii.n
haaye! agar ko_ii anjaan agar is dhoke me.n aa jaaye to

naadaanii aur majabuurii me.n yaaro kuchh to farq karo
ek bebas insaan kare kyaa TuuT ke dil aajaaye to
