Ye ghazal to sab ne suni hi hogi...Jagjit Singh ji ne gaaya hai...written by Ibn-e-insha ji...usi ghazal ke saare ashar kuch yuN hain...

kal chaudhavii.n kii raat thii shab bhar rahaa charchaa teraa
kuchh ne kahaa ye chaa.Nd hai kuchh ne kahaa cheharaa teraa

ham bhii vahii.n maujuud the ham se bhii sab puuchhaa kiye
ham ha.Ns diye ham chup rahe manzuur thaa pardaa teraa

is shahar me.n kis se mile.n ham se to chhuuTii mahafile.n
har shaKhs teraa naam le har shaKhs diivaanaa teraa

kuuche ko tere chho.D kar jogii hii ban jaaye.n magar
jangal tere parbat tere bastii terii saharaa teraa

ham aur rasm-e-bandagii aashuftagii uftaadagii
ehasaan hai kyaa kyaa teraa ai husn-e-beparvaa teraa

do ashk jaane kis liye palko.n pe aa kar Tik gaye
altaaf kii baarish terii ikraam kaa dariyaa teraa

ai bedaareG-o-be_amaa.N ham ne kabhii kii hai fuGaa.N
ham ko terii vahashat sahii ham ko sahii saudaa teraa

tuu bevafaa tuu maharabaa.N ham aur tujh se bad-gumaa.N
ham ne to puuchhaa thaa zaraa ye vaqt kyuu.N Thaharaa teraa

ham par ye saKhtii kii nazar ham hai.n faqiir-e-rah_guzar
rastaa kabhii rokaa teraa daaman kabhii thaamaa teraa

haa.N haa.N terii suurat hasii.n lekin tuu aisaa bhii nahii.n
is shaKhs ke ashaar se shoharaa huaa kyaa kyaa teraa

beshak usii kaa dosh hai kahataa nahii.n Khaamosh hai
tuu aap kar aisii davaa biimaar ho achchhaa teraa

bedard sunanii ho to chal kahataa hai kyaa achchhii Ghazal
aashiq teraa rusavaa teraa shaayar teraa "Inshaa" teraa
