Rishtaa ye kaisa hai .. Naata ye kaisa hai ..

Ghazal : Chithra Singh from film Aag

Rishtaa ye kaisa hai naata ye kaisa hai
Pehchaan jisse nahin thee kabhi
apna bana hain wahi ajnabi
Rishtaa ye kaisa hai naata ye kaisa hai

Tumhe dekhte hee rahoon main hamesha
mere saamne yoon hee baithe raho tum
Karoon dil ki baaten main khaamoshiyon se
aur apne labon se na kuch bhee kaho tum

Ye rishta hai kaisa, ye naata hai kaisa
tere tan ki khushboo bhee lagti hai apni
ye kaisi lagan hai, ye kaisa milan hai
tere dil ki dhadkan bhee lagti hai apni

Tumhe paake mehsoos hota hai aise
ke jaise kabhi hum judaa hee nahin the
Ye maana ke jismon ke ghar to naye hain
magar hai puraane ye bandhan dilon ke

Ye rishta hai kaisa, ye naata hai kaisa ………

Kal Chaudhvin ki raat thi by Jagjit Sing

Kal Chaudhvin ki raat thi … Again… by Jagjit Sing

A ghazal that takes us to our first meeting with our love .. I love the lyrics …!

Kal chaudhvin ki raat thi

Shab bhar raha charcha tera

Yesterday it was the night of full moon

Wine was overflowing with talks about you

Kuch ne kaha ye chand hai

Kuch ne kaha chehra tera

Some were telling it was the moon

Some were telling it was your face

Hum bhi wahin maujood the

Hum se bhi sab poochha kiye

Hum hans diye, hum chup rahe

Manzoor tha parda tera

I was also present there

They also asked me about what I thought

I simply smiled, I simply kept quiet

I accepted the mask u have

Is shehar mein kis se milen

Hum se to chhoti mehfilen

Har shaks tera naam le

Har shaks diwana tera

In this city who am i supposed to meet

I had to leave all the parties

Every person took your name

Every person is your lover

Kal chaudhvin ki raat thi..

Be-dard sunni ho to chal

Kehta hai kya achchi ghazal

Aashiq tera, rusva tera, shayar tera, ‘Insha’ tera.

It was the night of full moon yesterday

My heart is aching in your love

They are saying that it is nice ghazal

Your lover, your insult, your poet, your Will
