apanaa Gam leke kahii.n aur na jaayaa jaaye

apanaa Gam leke kahii.n aur na jaayaa jaaye
ghar me.n bikharii huii chiizo.n ko sajaayaa jaaye

un chiraaGo.n ko havaao.n se bachaayaa jaaye


baag me.n jaane ke aadaab huaa karate hai.n
kisii titalii ko na phuulo.n se u.Daayaa jaaye


Khudakushii karane kii himmat nahii.n hotii sab me.n
aur kuchh din yuu.N hii auro.n ko sataayaa jaaye


ghar se masjid hai bahut duur chalo yuu.N kar le.n

कोई ये कैसे बताए कि वो तनहा क्यों है,

कोई ये कैसे बताए कि वो तनहा क्यों है,
वो जो अपना था वही और किसी का क्यों है।
यही दुनिया है तो फिर ऐसी ये दुनिया क्यों है,
यही होता है तो आखिर यही होता क्यों है॥
इक ज़रा हाथ बढ़ा दें, तो पकड़ लें दामन,
उसके सीने में समा जाये हमारी धड़कन।
इतनी कुर्बत हैं तो इतना फासला क्यों है॥
दिल-ए-बर्बाद से निकला नहीं अब तक कोई,
इक लुटे घर पे दिया करता है दस्तक कोई।
आस जो टूट गयी फिर से बंधाता क्यों है॥
तुम मसर्रत का कहो या इसे गम का रिश्ता,
कहतें हैं प्यार का रिश्ता है जनम का रिश्ता।
है जनम का जो ये रिश्ता तो ये बदलता क्यों है॥

Tere Khushboo Mein Basey Khat

I believe every love story is same .. that is why lyricist are able to write something which is just so close to you, and to which u can relate too.. and if ur listening that in voice of Jagjit Singh.. trust me its a bad day for you...simply the bad day

Tere Khushboo Mein Basey Khat, Main Jalata Kaise
Pyaar Mein Doobe Huve Khat, Main Jalata Kaise
Tere Haathon Se Likhe Khat, Main Jalata Kaise

Jinko Duniya Ki Nigahon Se Chhupaye Rakha
Jinko Ek Umr Kaleje Se Lagaye Rakha
Deen Jinko, Jinhe Imaan Banaye Rakha
Tere Khuhboo Mein Basey Khat, Main Jalata Kaise

Jinka Har Lafz Mujhe Yaad Paani Ki Tarha
Yaad They Mujhko Jo Paighaam E Zubaani Ki Tarha
Mujhko Pyaare They Jo Anmol Nishaani Ki Tarha
Tere Khushboo Mein Basey Khat, Main Jalata Kaise

Toone Duniya Ki Nigahon Se Jo Bachkar Likhe
Saal Ha Saal, Mere Naam Barabar Likhe
Kabhi Din Mein Toh Kabhi Raat Ko Uthkar Likhe
Tere Khushboo Mein Basey Khat Main Jalata Kaise
Pyaar Mein Doobe Huve Khat, Main Jalata Kaise
Tere Haathon Se Likhe Khat, Main Jalata Kaise

Tere Khat Aaj Main Ganga Mein Baha Aaya Hoon
Aag Behte Huve Paani Mein Lagaa Aaya Hoon
