Saher - 2000

Yaad nahi kya-kya dekha tha, saare manzar bhool gaye,
Uss ki galiyon se jab laute, apna bhi ghar bhool gaye |

Khoob gaye pardes ki apne deewaar-o-dar bhool gaye,
Sheesh-mahal ne aisa ghera, mitti ke ghar bhool gaye |

Tujh ko bhi jab apni kasamein, apne vaade yaad nahi,
Hum bhi apne khwaab teri aankhon mein rakhkar bhool gaye |

Mujh ko jinhone qatl kiya hai, koi unhe batlaaye nazeer,
Meri laash ke pehalu mein woh apna khanjar bhool gaye |

Ecstasies - 1984

Tumne sooli pe latakte jisey dekha hogaa,
Wakt aayega wahi shaks maseeha hoga |

Khwaab dekha tha ke sehraa mein basera hoga,
Kyaa khabar thi ke yahi khwaab toh saccha hoga |

Main fizaaon mein bikhar jaunga khushboo bankar,
Rang hoga na badan hoga na chehra hoga |

A Milestone - 1980

1. Angdai par angdai

Angdai par angdai leti hai raat judaai ki,
tum kya samjho tum kya jaano baat meri tanhaayi ki |

Kaun siyahi ghol raha tha wakt ke behte dariya mein,
maine aankh jhuki dekhi hai aaj kisi harjee ki |

Wasl ki raat na jaane kyoon israar tha unko jaane par,
wakt se pehle doob gaye taaron ne badi daanaee ki |

Udte udte aas ka panchi duur ufaq mein doob gaya,
rotey-rotey baith gayi awaaz kisi saudaai ki |
-----------------------------------------------------------
2. Apne haathon ki lakiron mein

Apne haathon ki lakiron mein basa le mujhko,
main hoon tera toh naseeb apna bana le mujhko |

Mujhse tu puchne aaya hai wafa ke maani,
ye teri saadaa-dili maar na daale mujhko |

Khud ko main baant na daalun kahin daaman-daaman,
kar diya tune agar mere hawaale mujhko |

Waada phir waada hai main zehar bhi pee jaaoon 'qateel',
shart ye hai koi baahon mein sambhaale mujhko |
-----------------------------------------------------------
3. Dil ko gham-e-hayaat

Dil ko gham-e-hayaat ganwaara hai in dino,
pehle jo dard tha wahi chaara hai in dino |

Ye dil zara sa dil teri yaadon mein kho gaya,
zarre ko aandhiyon ka sahara hai in dino |

Tum aa sako to shab ko badha doon kuch aur bhi,
apne kahe mein subho ka taara hai in dino |

Jagjit Singh ghazal lyrics

The lyric pages are something very special that you will feel very nice that you came across them. If you are a Jagjit Singh fan then there is no other better place to land up. Especially if you are an ardent fan of his soulful ghazals.

Jagjit Singh has been the most wonderful ghazal singer to have walked on our planet. It is our good fortune that we still see him performing. Ghazals were not that popular among the party going people of today's world.

Jagjit Singh's choice of lyrics is wonderful and therefore most of the ghazals are real masterpieces. There is this "ajeeb" kashish in his voice that makes his songs so special. And not only that, his is the voice that has shown so much pain "dard". Most of his songs are "dard" bharey nagmein and that are just so soul pleasing.
