One of the most popular gazals by Mirza sahaab. Some how was not the part of my blog yet.. Adding it .. :)
Heard it after a decent gap.. Nice to know the meaning behind and especially nice to relate it to myself :
Hazaaro.n Khvaahishe.n aisii ki har Khvaaish pe dam nikale
bahut nikale mere armaa.N lekin phir bhii kam nikale

vo Khuu.N jo chashm-e-tar se umr bhar yuu.N dam-ba-dam nikale
[chashm=eye; tar=wet; dam_ba_dam=continously]

bahut be-aabaruu hokar tere kuuche se ham nikale
[Khuld=Paradise; be-aabaruu=disgrace; kuuchaa=street]
bharam khul jaaye zaalim tere qaamat kii daraazii kaa
agar is turraa-e-purapech-o-Kham kaa pech-o-Kham nikale

jo vo nikle to dil nikale jo dil nikale to dam nikale
Khudaa ke vaaste pardaa na kaabe se uThaa zaalim
Kahii.n aisaa na ho yaa.N bhii vahii kaafir sanam nikale
