UssaY Bhool Jaa!!

Ussay bhool ja
Ussay bhool ja - Dua-e-lafz
00:0000:00

Kahan Aa K Ruknay Thay Raastey Kahan Morr Tha Usey Bhool Ja 
Woh Jo Mil Giya Usey Yaad Rakh 
Jo Nahin Milla Usey Bhool Ja.... 

Woh Teray Naseeb Ki Barishen 
Kisi Aur Chatt Pay Barus Gain 
Dil Bekhaber Meri Baat Sun 
Usey Bhool Ja,Usey Bhool Ja.... 

Main To Gum tha Teray Hi Dehaan Main 
Teri Aas Teray Gumaan Main 
Saba Keh Gai Meray Kaan Main 
Meary Saath, Aa Usey Bhool Ja.... 

Kisi Aankh Main Nahin Hai Ashk-e-Gham 
Teray Baad Kuch Bhi Nahin Hai Kum 
Tujhey Zindagi Ne Bhulla Diya 
To Bhi Muskura, Usey Bhool Ja.... 

Kiyon Atta Hua Hai Ghubaar Main 
Zindagi K Fashaar Main 
Woh Jo Darj Tha Teray Bakhat Main 
So Woh Ho Giya, Usey Bhool Ja.... 

Na Woh Aankh Hi Teri Aankh Thi 
Na Woh khaab hi Teray Khaab Tha 
Dil-e-Muntazir To Yeh Kis Liyey 
Tera Jaagna, Usey Bhool Ja.... 

Yeh Jo Raat Din Ka Hai Khail Sa 
Isey Dekh,Us Pay Yaqeen Na Ker 
Nahin Aks Koi Bhi Mustaqil 
Sir-e-Aiyna, Usey Bhool Ja.... 

Jo Bisaat-e-Jaan Hi Ulat Giya 
Woh Jo Raastey Se Hi Palut Giya 
Usey Rokney Se Hasool Kiya 
Usey Mat Bula,Usey Bhool Ja.... 

To Yeh Kis Liye Shab-e-Hijer kay 
Usey Her Sitarey Main Dekhna 
Woh Falak Jis Pay Milley Thay Hum 
Koi aur Tha, Usey Bhool Ja.... 

Aur tujhe chand banke mila tha jo
tere sahlon par khila ta jo
Woh tha ek dariya vhisaal ka
so utar gaya usse bhool jaa

Jo Bisaat-e-Jaan Hi Ulat Giya 
Woh Jo Raastey Se Hi Palut Giya 
Usey Rokney Se Hasool Kiya 
Usey Mat Bula,Usey Bhool Ja...

Woh Teray Naseeb Ki Barishen 
Kisi Aur Chatt Pay Barus Gain 
Dil Bekhaber Meri Baat Sun 
Usey Bhool Ja,Usey Bhool Ja.... 

zindagii ke mele mein

Zindagi mein mein

Zindagii ke mele mein Khvaahishon ke rele mein 
tum se kyaa kahen jaanaa is qadar jhamele mein
vaqt kii ravaanii hai baKht kii giraanii hai 
saKht bezamiinii hai saKht laamakaanii hai 
hijr ke samandar mein taKht aur taKhte kii
ek hii kahaanii hai tum ko jo sunaanii hai
baat go zaraa sii hai baat umr bhar kii hai
umr bhar kii baaten kab do ghadii mein hotii hain
dard ke samandar mein anginat jaziiren hain
beshumaar motii hain aaNkh ke dariiche mein 
tum ne jo sajaayaa thaa baat us diye kii hai
baat us gile kii hai jo lahuu kii Khilvat mein
chor ban ke aataa hai lafz ke fasiilon par
Toot Toot jaataa hai zindagii se lambii hai
baat ratjage kii hai raaste mein kaise ho
baat taKhaliye kii hai taKhaliye kii baaton mein
guftaguu izaafii hai pyaar karane vaalon ko
ik nigaah kaafii hai 
ho sake to sun jaao
ek din akele mein tum se kyaa kahen jaanaaN
is qadar jhamele mein


yahii bahut hai ke dil us ko Dhoond laayaa hai 
kisii ke saath sahii vo nazar to aayaa hai

karuun shikaayaten takataa rahuun ke pyaar karuun 
gaye bahaar kii suurat vo laut aayaa hai

vo saamane thaa magar ye yaqiin na aataa thaa 
vo aap hai ke merii Khvaahishon kaa saayaa hai

azaab huup ke kaise hain baarishen kyaa hain 
fasiil-e- jism girii jab to hosh aayaa hai 
main kyaa 

karuugaa agar vo na mil sakaa'Amjad' 
abhii abhii mere dil mein Khayaal aayaa hai

Yahii Bahut Hai Ke Dil 

Yahi bohut hai ke dil

Bheed mein ik ajnabi ka

Bheed mein ik ajnabi

bheed mein ik ajanabi kaa samana achaa laga 
sab se chup kar vo kisi kaa dekhana acha laga 

surmai ankhon ke niche phool se khilane lage 
kahate kahate kuch kisi ka sochana acha laga 

baat to kuchh bhi nahin thi lekin uskaa ek dam 
haath ko honton pe rakh kar rokana acha laga 

chaay mein chini milana us ghadi bhaya bahut 
zer-e-lab vo muskurata shukriya acha laga 

dil mein kitane ahad bandhe the bhulane ke use 
vo mila to sab irade todana acha laga 

beirada lams ki vo san sani pyaari lagi kam tavajo aankh kaa vo dekhana acha laga 

nim shab ki Khamushi mein bhigati sadakon pe kal 
teri yaadon ke jaalo mein ghumana acha laga 

us uduu-e-jaaN ko 'Amjad' main bura kaise kahun 
jab bhi aya samane vo bevaffa acha laga

Na Shikayaten Na Gilaa Kare 

Na Shkayaten na gila

Na shikaayaten na gila kare 
koi aisaa shakhs huaa kare 
jo mere liye hii sajaa kare 
mujh hii se baaten kiya kare

kabhi roye jaaye vo bepanaah 
kabhi betahaashaa udaas ho 
kabhi chupake chupake dabe qadam 
mere pichhe aa kar hansaa kare

meri qurbate.n meri chaahaten 
koi yaad kare qadam qadam 
main tavil safar mein huN agar 
meri vapasi ki duaa kare

Teri zad se nikalna chahata hai 

Teri zad se nikalna chahta

Teri zad se nikalna chahata hai 

teri zad se nikalnaa chahata hai 
ye dariya rukh badalna chaahata hai 

vo sapana jis ki surat hi nahin hai 
meri ankhon mein chalana chahata hai 

dilon ki mandagi pe kya tajjub 
ki suraj bhi to Dhalanaa chaahataa hai 

nashist-e-dard badali hai to ab dil 
zara pahalu badalna chahata hai 

mujhe bhi samana hai karbala ka 
mera sar bhii uchhlna chahata hai 

nahin hai tarjuman-e-Gam ye ansu 
ye paani ab ubalna chahata hai 

tabassum zer-e-lab kahata hai 'Amjad' 
koi jazba machalna chahata hai 

Barish Thi

Barish Thi

Barish thi,hum they aur ghani ho rahi thi shaam 
tumne liya tha kanpte honton se mera naam 

maine kaha tha aao yunhi bhegte chalein 
in raaston mein dare talak ghoomte chalein 

mere qamar mein haath yeh phoolon sa daal kar 
kandhe pe mere rakhay raho yunhi apna sarr 

haathon ko main kabhi, kabhi baalon ko choom loon 
dekho meri taraf to main ankhon ko choom loon 

paani k yeh jo phool hain rooh par khiley howe 
in mein dhanak k rang hain saare ghulay howe 

hoonton se inko chunte rahein khush dili ke saaath 
taare humein talaash karen chandni k saath 

yunhi kisi darakht k neeche kare rahen 
barish k dare baad bhi lipte kare rahen 

tune kaha tha aao chalein raat aa gayee 
dil jis se darr raha tha wahi baat aa gayee 

beetay samay ki yaad hi raston mein reh na jaye 
yeh dil kahin visaal ki barish mein beh na jaye 

kuch dare ik chup si rahi darmiyaan mein 
girhein sii jaise parne lagi hoon zuban mein 

yak dam gira tha phool koi shahsaar se 
dekha tha tumne meri taraf iztraar se 

barish mein bhegte howe jhonke hawa k they 
woh chand be gumaan se lamhay bala k they 

nasha sa ik chaaron taraf phelta gaya 
phir is k baad maine tumein kuch nahin kaha

Tumhen mujh se mohabbat hai 

Tumhen mujh se mohabbat

Tumhen mujh se mohabbat hai 

mohabbat kii tabiyat meIn ye kaisaa bachpana qudarat ne rakha hai ke jitani purani jitani bhi mazabut ho jaye ise ta_id-e-taza kii zarurat phir bhirahati hai yaqin kii akhiri had tak dilon mein lah_lahati ho nigahon se Tapakati ho lahu mein jag_magati ho hazaron tarah se dil_kash hasin haale banati ho use izhar ke lafzo.n ki hajat phir bhi rahati hai mohabbat mangati hai yun gavahi apane hone ki ke jaise tifl-e-sada shaam ko ik bij boye aur shab mein baura uthe 
zamin ko khod kar dekhe ke paudha ab kahan tak hai mohabbat kii tabiyat mein ajab takarar ki
Khu hai ke ye iqraar ke lafzon ko sunane se nahin
thakati bichhadane kii ghadi ho yaa koi milane
kii saat ho ise bas ek hii dhun hai 
kaho mujh se mohabbat hai 
kaho mujh se mohabbat hai kuchh aisii besakuni hai vafaa kii sar_zaminon mein ke jo

ahal-e mohabbat ko sadaa bechain rakhati hai ke jaise phuul mein Khushbu ke jaise haath
mein taaraa ke jaise shaam kaa taara 
mohabbat karane valon kii sahar raaton mein
rahati hai gumanam ke shakhchon mein ashiyaan banataa hai ulfat kaa ye ain visaal mein bhii hijr ke Khadshon mein rahati hai mohabbat ke musafir zindagii jab kaaT chukate hain 
thakan kii karachiyan chunate vafaa kii ajaraken pahane samay ki rah_guzar kii aaKhiri sarhad pe
rukate hain to koi Dubati saanson ki Dori thamker dhire se kahataa hai ke ye sach hai naa 
hamari zindagi ik dusare ke naam likhii thii 
dhundhalaka sa jo ankho.n ke qarib-o-dur phailaa hai 
isi kaa naam chaahat hai 
tumhen mujh se mohabbat thi 
tumhen mujh se mohabbat hai 
mohabbat kii tabiyat mein ye kaisa bachapnaa

qudarat ne rakkha hai

Bikhre Moti

Bikhre Moti

Khud apne liye beth ke sochenge kisi din

Yun hai ke.. tujhe bhool ke dekhenge kisi din

Bhatke huwe phirte hain kain lafz jo dil mein
Duniya ne diya waqt to likhenge kisi din

Aapas ki kisi baat ka miltaa hi nahin waqt
 Har baat yeh kehte hain ke bethenge kisi din

Aey jaan teri yaad ke be-naam parinde

Shakon pe mere dard ki utrenge kisi din

jaati hai kisi jheek ki gehraai kaha tak
Aankhon mein teri doob ke dekhenge kisi din

Khushboo se bhari shaam mein jugnu ke qalam se
Ek naz'm tere vaaste likkhenge kisi din

Soyenge teri aankh ki khalwat mein kisi raat
Saye main teri zulf ke jaagenge kisi din

"Amjad"hai yahi ab ke kafan bhaandh ke sar se
Us sheher-e-sitamgaar mein jayenge kisi din

Aankhon ka rang
Kaha tha na ke yoon sote
Aankhon ka rang baat ka lehja badal gaya

Aankhon ka rang baat ka lehja badal gaya
Vo shakhs aik shaam mein kitna badal gaya

Koi bhi cheez apni jagah per nahin rahi
Jaatay he aik shakhs ke kiya kiya badal gaya

Hairat se saaray lafz usay dekhtay rahay
Baaton mein apni baat ko kesa badal gaya

Kehnay ko aik sehen mein deewaar he bani
Ghar ki fiza makaan ka naqsha badal gaya

Shayed wafa ke khel se ukta gaya tha vo 
Manzil ke paas aa ke jo rasta badal gaya

Aankhon mein jitnay ashk thay jugnu se ban gaye
Vo muskuraaya aur miri duniya badal gaya

Kaha tha na ke yoon sote huye mat chorr ke jana
Kaha tha na ke yoon sote - dua-e-lafz
00:0000:00

Kaha tha na ke
yoon sote huye mat chorr ke jana
Mujhe beshak jaga dena bata dena

Tumhain rasta badlna hai
Meri had se nikalna hai
To tumhain kis baat ka dar tha

Main tumhain jane nahi deta
kahin pe qaid kar leta
Arey pagal
mohabbat ki tabiyat me zabrdasti nahi hoti

Jise rasta badlna ho
usy rasta badlne se
Jise had se nikalna ho
usey had se nikalne se
Na koi rok paaya hai
Na koi rok paaye ga

To tumhain kis bat ka dar tha
Muje beshak jaga dete
Main tumhain dekh hi leta

Tumhain koi dua deta
kam’az kam yoon to na hota
Mere sathi ye haqiqat hai
tumhare bad khone ke liye kuch bhi nahi baki

Magar main khone se darta hon
Main ab sone se darta hon..

Bheerh mein ek ajnabi
Bheerh Main ek Ajanabi Ka Samna Achcha Laga

Bheerh Main ek Ajanabi Kaa Samna Achcha Laga
Sab Se Chup Kar Vo Kisi Kaa Dekha Achcha Laga

Surmai Ankhon Ke Niiche Phool Se Khilane Lage
Kahate Kahate Kuchh Kisi Kaa Sochna Achcha Laga

Baat To Kuch Bhi Nahin Thi Lekin Us Kaa Ek Dam
Haath Ko Honthon Pe Rakh Kar Rokna Achcha Laga

Chaay Main Chini Milana Us Ghari Bhaya Bahut
Zer-E Lab Vo Muskurata Shukriyaa Achcha Laga

Dil Main Kitane Ahad Bandhe The Bhulane Ke Use
Vo Milaa To Sab Iraade Torana Achcha Laga

Beirada Lams Ki Vo Sansani Pyari Lagi
Kam Tavajo Aankh Kaa Vo Dekhna Achcha Laga

Nim Shab Kii Khamushi Main Bhigati Sarakon Pe Kal
Teri Yaadon Ke Jalo Main Ghumna Achcha Laga

Us Uduu-E-Jaan Ko ‘Amjad’ Main Buraa Kaise Kahoon
Jab Bhi Aaya Saamane Vo Bevafa Achcha Laga 

Hasti ka aitbaar kiye bagair
Anchor 1
Hasti ka aitbaar kiye bagair reh na jaye

Hasti ka aitbaar kiye bagair reh na jaye,
Dunya hai yahan per jiye bin raha na jaye,

Kat’ti nahin yeh zindagi umeed ke bagher,
Yeh jaam woh hai jis ko piye bin raha na jaye,

Chahat ka zakhm dil ko tamasha na bana de,
Aesa hai chaak jis ko siye bin rahaa na jaye,

Dunya ke is afshaar mein hai us ki yaad yoon,
Aandhi ho tez aur diye bin raha na jaye,

Ik simt tera hukam hai, ik simt kayenaat,
Yeh bojh apne sir pe liye bin raha na jaye…

Hum nahin kehte hamari, teri dunya ho jaye

Hum nahin kehte hamari, teri dunya ho jaye,
Itne rangon mein koi rang to apna ho jaye,

Ishq woh “turfa-balaa” hai ke kare jis ki talb,
Us ko maloom na ho, Sheher mein charcha ho jaye,

Do sitaron ko jo dekhoon teri ankhen ban jayen,
Chand ko dheyan mein laaon tera chehra ho jaye,

Har dora hai yeh nigehbaan khari hai kismat,
Kese mumkin hai ke har shasks ka socha, ho jaye,

Hum ko har bazm mein, Har haal mein sach kehna hai,
Sheher ka sheher khafaa hota hai, Acha ho jaye,

Ishq woh kaar-e-musalsal hai nahin jis ki akheer,
Us ki taufiq hai jis shakhs se jitna ho jaye,

Husn ki ankh woh tahsees talb hai amjad,
Bheerr ho charon taraf aur koi tanha ho jay
