1. CHUPAKE CUPAKE RAAT DIN ANSOO BAHAANA YAAD HAI
apani aawaaz ki larzish pe to qaabu pa lo
pyaar ke bol to honthon se nikal jaate hain
apane tewar to sambhaalo ke koyi ye na kahe
dil badalate hain to chehare bhi badal jaate hain
chupake chupake raat din aansu bahaana yaad hai
ab main samajha tere rukasaar pe til ka matalab
daulat-e-husn pe darabaan bitha rakha hai
gar siyaah-bakt hi hona tha nasibon mein mere
zulf hota tere rukasaar pe ya til hota
chupake chupake raat din aansu bahaana yaad hai
hamako ab tak aashiqi ka wo zamaana yaad hai
tujhase milate hi wo kuchh bebaak ho jaana mera
aur tera daanton mein wo ungali dabaana yaad hai
chori chori hamase tum aa kar mile the jis jagah
muddatein guzarin par ab tak wo thikaana yaad hai
dopahar ki dhup mein mere bulaane ke liye
wo tera kothe pe nange paanv aana yaad hai
khainch lena wo mera parde ka kona daf_atan
aur dupatte se tera wo munh chhupaana yaad hai
tujhako jab tanha kabhi paana to az-raah-e-lihaaz
haal-e-dil baaton hi baaton mein jataana yaad hai
aa gaya gar wasl ki shab bhi kahin zikr-e-firaaq
wo tera ro ro ke bhi mujhako rulaana yaad hai
waan hazaaraan iztiraab, yaan sad-hazaaraan ishtiyaak
tujhako wo pahale-pahal dil ka lagaana yaad hai
jaan kar hona tujhe wo kasad-e-paa-bosi mera
aur tera thukara ke sar wo muskuraana yaad hai
jab siva mere tumhaara koyi diwaana na tha
sach kaho kuchh tumako ab bhi wo zamaana yaad hai
gair ki nazaron se bach kar sabaki marzi ke kilaaf
wo tera chori chhipe raaton ko aana yaad hai
dekhana mujhako jo baragashta sau naaz se
jab mana lena to phir khud ruth jaana yaad hai
shauq mein mehandi ke wo be-dast-o-pa hona tera
aur mera wo chhedana wo gudagudaana yaad hai

2. CHUPAKE CHUPAKE RAAT DIN
chupke chupke rat din ansu bahana yad hai
chupke chupke rat din ansu bahana yad hai
hamko abb tak ashikui ka woh jamana yad hai
chupke chupke rat din ansu bahana yad hai
khench le na woh mera parde ka kona daffatan
khench le na woh mera parde ka kona daffatan
aur dupatte se tera woh munh chhupana yad hai
hamko abb tak ashikui ka woh jamana yad hai
chupke chupke rat din ansu bahana yad hai
dopehar kee dhup me mere bulane ke liye
dopehar kee dhup me mere bulane ke liye
woh tera kothe pe nange panv ana yad hai
hamko abb tak ashikui ka woh jamana yad hai
chupke chupke rat din ansu bahana yad hai

4. HANGAMA HAI KYUN BARPAA THODI SI JO PILI HAI
prelude
ye alag baat hai saaqi ke mujhe hosh nahi
varanaa mai kuchh bhi hun ehasaan-faraamosh nahi
live in india version starts from here
mai teri mast-nigaahi kaa bharam rakh lungaa
hosh aayaa bhi to kah dungaa mujhe hosh nahi
hagaamaa hai kyun barapaa thodi si jo pi li hai
daakaa to nahi daalaa chori to nahi ki hai
us may se nahi matalab dil jisase ho begaanaa
makasud hai us may se dil hi me jo khichati hai
suraj me lage dhabbaa fitarat ke karishme hai
but hamako kahe khaafir allaah ki marzi hai
naatajurbaakaari se vaa_iz ki ye baate hai
is rag ko kyaa jaane puchho jo kabhi pi hai
waan dil me ki sadame do, yaan ji me ki sab sah lo
unakaa bhi ajab dil hai, meraa bhi ajab ji hai
har zarraa chamakataa hai anawaar-e-ilaahi se
har saans ye kahati hai ham hai to khudaa bhi hai
the following was not in the versions i heard
e shauq wahi may pi ai hosh zaraa so jaa
mehamaan-e-nazar is dam ik bark-e-tazali hai
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
yahi agaz tha mera, yahi anjam hona tha
yahi agaz tha mera, yahi anjam hona tha
mujhe barabad hona tha, mujhe nakam hona tha
mujhe taqadir ne taqadir ka mara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
meri aavaragi ne mujhako, avara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala

kyun kisee jalim ka shikawa kijiye

12. MEHFIL ME BAAR BAAR KISI PAR NAZAR GAYI
mahafil me bar bar kisee par najar gayee
hamne bachayee lakh magar phir udhar gayee
unakee najar me koyee jadu jurur hai
jis par padee usike jigar tak utar gayee
uss bewafa kee aankh se aansu chhalak pade
hasarat bharee nigah bada kam kar gayee
unake jamale ruk pe unhee ka jamal tha
woh chal diye toh raunake shamo sahar gayee
unako kabar karo ke hai bismil karibe marg
woh aayenge jurur jo unn tak kabar gayee

13. KAL CHAUDHVIN KI RAAT THI
Kal chaudhvin ki raat thi
Shab bhar raha charcha tera
Kuch ne kaha yeh chaand hai
Kuch ne kaha chehra tera
Hum bhi vahin maujood the
Humse bhi sab poochha kiye
Hum hass diye hum chup rahe
Manzoor tha parda tera
Is sheher mein kisse mile
Humse to chhooti mehfilein
Har shaks tera naam le
Har shaks deewana tera
Koonche ko tere chhodkar
Jogi hi ban jaaye magar
Jungle tere parbat tere
Basti teri sahera tera
Bedard sunni ho to chal
Kehta hai kya achchhi ghazal
Aashiq tera ruswaan tera
Shaayar tera inshaa tera

14. KIYA HAI PYAR JAISE
kiyaa hai pyaar jise ham ne zindagi ke tarah
vo aashanaa bhi milaa ham se ajanabi ke tarah
badhaa ke pyaas meri us ne haath chhod diyaa
vo kar rahaa tha muravvat bhi dillagi ke tarah
kabhi na sochaa tha ham ne qatil us ke lie
karegaa ham pe sitam vo bhi har kisi ke tarah
kise khabar thi bade hi kuchh aur taari ki (?)
milaa hai hamase vo kisi badali me chaandani ki tarah
sitam to ye hai ke vo bhi na ban sakaa apna
kubul hamane liye jis ke gam khushi ke tarah
