Abida Parveen - Shaam-e-Firaq lyrics

rate me

shaam-e-firaaq ab na puuchh aaii aur aake Tal gaii

dil thaa ke phir bahal gayaa, jaa.N thii ke phir sambhal gaii

bazm-e-Khayaal me.n tere husn kii shamaa jal gaii

dard kaa chaa.Nd bujh gayaa, hijr kii raat Dhal gaii

jab tujhe yaad kar liyaa, subha mahak mahak uThii

jab teraa Gam jagaa liyaa, raat machal machal gaii

dil se to har muaamalaa karake chale the saaf ham

kahane me.n unake saamane baat badal badal gaii

aaKhir-e-shab ke hamasafar 'Faiz' na jaane kyaa hue

rah gaii kis jagah sabaa, subha kidhar nikal gaii
