Wo Hamsafar Tha

Tarq-e-taaluqaat pe...

At our parting of ways,
Roya na tu, na main

Neither you cried nor I,
Lekin yeh kya ke chain se soya na tu, na main

But then, what's this that neither you nor I slept peacefully

Woh humsafar tha.... 

He was my companion (fellow traveler)…..

Woh humsafar tha....

He was my companion …

Woh humsafar thaa magar us sey humnawai na thi…

He was my companion but with him I didn’t have like mindedness (harmony)

Woh humsafar thaa magar us sey humnawai na thi…

He was my companion but with him I didn’t have like mindedness (harmony)

Kay dhoop chaaon ka…..

With  the (hot) sunshine and shade

Kay dhoop chaaon ka aalam raha

With  the (hot) sunshine and shade was world was filled

 Judai na thi…

There was no separation

Woh humsafar tha....

He was my companion …

Woh humsafar tha....

He was my companion …

Adaavatein theen..Taghaaful thaa,  Ranjishein theen Magar..

There was animosity, Indifference and anguish but,

Adaavatein theen..Taghaaful thaa,  Ranjishein theen Magar..

There was animosity, Indifference and anguish but,

Bicharne walay main sab kuch thaa

The one who I was parted with had everything (but)

Bewafai na thi…

He didn't have unfaithfullness

Bicharne walay main sab kuch thaa

The one who I was parted with had everything (but)

Bewafai na thi…

He didn't have unfaithfullness

Kay dhoop chaaon ka…..

With  the (hot) sunshine and shade

Kay dhoop chaaon ka aalam raha

With  the (hot) sunshine and shade was world was filled

 Judai na thi…

There was no separation

Woh humsafar tha....

He was my companion …

Woh humsafar tha....

He was my companion …

Kaajal daaro

Put kohl

kurkura surma Saha na jaaye

The graininess of the kohl is tough to bear
Jin Nain mein pee bassay

In the eyes that hold my beloved
Dooja kon samaaye

Who else can be beheld

Bicharte waqt un ankhon mein thi hamari ghazal

At the time of parting his eyes had my song
Bicharte waqt un ankhon mein thi hamari ghazal

At the time of parting his eyes had my song
Ghazal bhi wo jo kisi ko kabhi sunai na thi

And it was the song that I had never sung aloud
Ghazal bhi wo jo kisi ko kabhi sunai na thi

And it was the song that I had never sung aloud

Kay dhoop chaaon ka…..

With  the (hot) sunshine and shade

Kay dhoop chaaon ka aalam raha

With  the (hot) sunshine and shade was world was filled

 Judai na thi…

There was no separation

Woh humsafar tha....

He was my companion …

Woh humsafar tha....

He was my companion …

Zindagi-Behadd- Haule-Haule Nindiya Re

Band: Kaavish
Song :Haule Haule (Nindiya Re)
OST: Behadd
Poetry: Jaffer Ali Zaidi



Lyrics:

Haule Haule raaton ko
chupke se aaja re,
nindiya re nindiya re
akhiyon men samaaja re

nindiya re....

kaheen door sitaaron pe
chanda ke ishaaron pe,
palne ko tere jo
pariyon ne jhulaaya re,

nindiya re...

jugnu panchhi pyaare pyaare
tere sapne bunen.
neend bhari in aankhon se teri
chupke se kahte rahen
soja re soja re,
sapnon men khoja re....
soja re soja re....
sapnon men khoja re....

Poetry: Jaffer Ali Zaidi

Zindagi - Mere Qatil Mere Dildaar

Paas Raho
Mere Paas Raho
Tum Mere Paas Raho


Subaho Ki Pehli Kiran Jab
Teri Palkay Choo Le,
Adh Kili Kaliyon Pe Jaise
Koi Titli Jhuley,
Chahe Tum Mujhko Sawaro
Chahe Barbad Karo,
Bhool Jayo Mujhe Tum Ya K
Mujhe Yaad Karo,


Mere Qatil Mere Dildar
Mere Paas Raho....


Mere Qatil Mere Dildar
Mere Paas Raho...


Tum Pe Ilzaam Hai Jana
Meri Ruswai Ka
Paas Ho Phir Bhi
Yeh Ehsaas Hai Tanhai Ka
Yeh Toh Anmol Hai Tohfa
Mere Harjai Ka
Karo Iqraar Ke Inkaar
Mere Paas Raho....


Mere Qatil Mere Dildar
Mere Paas Raho....


Mere Qatil Mere Dildar
Mere Paas Raho....


Mujhe Khayal Kar De
Mujhe Pagal Kar De,
Chahe Bechain Mujhe
Chahe Bekar Karde,
Mujhe Jeena Hai
Toh Marna Ke Liye Jeena Hai,
Ab Toh Hai Maut Ka Israar
Mere Paas Raho......


Mere Qatil Mere Dildar
Mere Paas Raho....


Mere Qatil Mere Dildar
Mere Paas Raho.....
Mere Qatil Mere Dildar
Mere Paas Raho.....
