"Apani marzi se kahaan apane safar ke ham hain
rukh havaaon kaa jidhar kaa hai udhar ke ham hain
pahale har cheez thee apani magar ab lagataa hai
apane hi ghar mein kisi dusare ghar ke ham hain
* "
A magical combination of these beautiful words of Nida fazli saheb in the voice of JAGJIT SINGH, whenever I listen my heart takes over my mind and I found myself in somewhere at a mysterious place.

*hosh vaalon ko Khabar kyaa bekhudi kyaa cheez hai
ishq keeje phir samajhiye zindagi kyaa cheez hai
un se nazaren kyaa mili raushan fizaayen ho gaee
aaj jaanaa pyaar kii jaaduugarii kyaa cheez hai
Khulati zulfon ne sikhaaee mausamoon ko shaayarii
jhukatii aankhoon ne bataayaa maikashi kyaa cheez hai
ham laboon se kah na paaye un se haal-e-dil kabhi
aur vo samajhe naheen ye Khaamoshi kyaa cheez hai

din saleeqe se ugaa, raat thikaane se rahi
dostii apanii bhii kuchh roz zamaane se rahii
is andhere mein to thokar hi ujaalaa degii

*duniyaa jise kahate hain jaaduu kaa khilonaa hai
mil jaaye to mitti hai kho jaaye to sonaa hai
dil mein na ho jurrat to muhabbat naheen milatii
Khairaat mein itanii badee daulat naheen milatii
kuchh tabiyat hii milii thii aisii chain se jiine kii suurat na huee
jis ko chaahaa use apanaa na sake, jo milaa us se muhabbat na huee
kabhii kabhii yuun bhii hamane apane dii ko bahalaayaa hai
jin baaton ko Khud naheen samajhe auron ko samajhaayaa hai
*ghar se masjid hai bahoot duur chalo yun kar le
kisis rote hue bachhe ke hasaaya jaye
masjido.n-mandiron ki duniyaa mein, mujhako pahachaanate kahaan hain log .
