ye nuur kaisaa hai
raaKh kaa saa rang pahne
barf kii laash hai
laave kaa saa badan pahne
guuNgii chaahat hai
rusvaa’ii kaa kafan pahne
har ek qatraa muqaddas hai maile aaNsuu kaa
ek hujuum-e-apaahij hai aab-e-kausar par
ye kaisaa shor hai jo be-aavaaz phailaa hai
rupahlii chaaNv meN - badnaamioN kaa Deraa hai
ye kaisii jannat hai jo chaunk-chaunk jaatii hai
ek intizaar-e-mujassam ka naam - Khamoshii
aur ehsaas-e-bekaraaN pe ye sarhad kaisii?
dar-o-diivaar kahaaN ruuh kii aavaargii ke
nuur kii vaadii talak lams kaa ek safar-e-taviil
har ek moR pe bas do hii naam milte haiN
maut kah lo - jo muhabbat nahiiN kahne paa’o
nuur : light, splendour
kafan : shroud
rusvaa’ii : disrepute
qatraa : drop
muqaddas : holy
hujuum : crowd
apaahij : handicapped
aab-e-kausar : The water of the river Kausar, fabled to flow in Paradise with milk and nectar

Mohib sb. ASAK,
I appreciate and really love the urdu poetry work you are doing here. It is just amazing to listen to some of these “not easily available” songs and ghazals. Though I would like to make a point, I found many of your lyrics having some mistakes. May be you want to post the write lyrics and want to keep the readers interest alive otherwise credibility is at stake. one example is below.
ye noor kaisaa (not kaisa noor) hai
raaKh kaa saa rang pahne
barf kii laash hai
laave kaa saa badan (not kafan) oRhe
I hope it helps and please carry on. It is fantastic work.
Thanks
Najam
Dear Najam bha’ii,
wassalam and thank you for the message.
I agree that some of the postings may contain few errors. I have already mentioned about it in the FAQs, http://aligarians.com/faqs , that if notified, the errors would be soon rectified. Readers have pointed out (and also e-mailed) several errors to me and I have corrected them ASAP.
Coming to this post, I referenced the nazm from the original published book and you can read it here. Strangely, the published nazm is slightly different from the one she sings. But then, that it no excuse and I would modify the nazm based on the recitation.
I thank you for pointing this out. I assure you that the errors are unintentional and I try as much as I can to lend authenciticy to the postings. I again request the readers to point out any error, as I personally read each and every comment made on this website.
To quote Majrooh,
maiN akelaa hii chalaa thaa jaanib-e-manzil magar
log saath aate gaye aur kaarvaaN bantaa gayaa
shukriyaa,
Mohib
hey!
very well made website,a big collection of gazals,really nice work.
One more correction to be pointed. Its “Ehsaas-e-Bekaran” not Ehsaas-e-fekaran” I’m sure this is typoo.
Thanks
hey bro,
the sound clip for this one doesnt play!!
but clips from other posts do, so might it be a missing file error?
thanks in advance!
