In MEMORY of MY BRO!

Hazaar Rahein mur kay dakheen
Kaheen say koi sada na ayee
Badi wafa say nibhayee tu nay
Hamari thodi si bewafai
Jahaan say tum mor mur ga-ay thay
ye mor ab bhi waheen paray hain
Hum apnay pairoon' may janay kitnay
Bhanwar lapetay huye khaday hain
Badi wafa say nibhai tunay
Hamari thori si bewafai
Kaheen kisi roz yun bhi hota
Hamari halat tumahari hoti
Jo raatein humnay guzareen mar kay
Wo ratein tumnay guzaareen hoteen'
Badi wafa say nibhaeen tunay
Hamari thodi si bewafai
Tumhain ye zidd thi kay hum bulaatay
Humain ye umeed wo pukarein
Hay naam honton' pay ab bhi laikin
Awaaz may par gaeen' dararain
Hazaar rahein mur kay dakheen'
Kaheen say koi sada na ayee
Badi wafa say nibhayee tunay
Hamari thodi si bewafai
Hamari thori si bewafai

A HAPPY COUPLE in 1992

Barisho' kay udaas mosam may

Khud ko dekhoo' to yaad aay koi

Kash aik bar yoo' bhi ho jay

Mein pukaroo' to laot aay koi

It is perhaps the final full-fledged family Reunion, Holiday Inn, Islamabad on 23rd October, 1996

Haadsay waqt kay betaab bata-tay hain mujhay

Jinko miltay hain saha-ray, wo sambhal jatay hain

Ashq bankar wohi ankhon' say nikal jatay hain

Dard ki yaad say armaan' jo pighal jatay hain

IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN...

If I had only known,

I'd never hear your voice again

I'd memorise each word you ever said

& on these lonely nights,

I could think of them once more

& keep your words alive inside my head

IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN...

Please recite Sura'h Fatiha for this gentleman in glasses

Thanx

Even my tears

Belong to you

It keeps on flowing

In memory of you.

-mahtab

Jo khayaal thay na qayaas thay, wohi log mujhsay bichar gay
Jo mohabbaton' ki asaas thay, wohi log mujhsay bichar gay

Jinhay manta hi nahi ye dil, wohi log hain meray hamsafar
Mujhay har tarah say jo raas thay, wohi log mujhsay bichar gay

Mujhay lamha bhar ki rafaqaton' kay azaab aur satain' gay
Meri umr bhar ki jo piyaas thay, wohi log mujhsay bichar gay

Ye khayaal hain saray aarzi, ye gulaab saray hain kaghazi
Gul-e-arzoo ki jo baas thay, wohi log mujhsay bichar gay

Jinhay kar saka na qabool mein, wo shareeq-e-rah-e-safar huye
Jo meri talab meri aas thay, wohi log mujhsay bichar gay

Meri dharkano' kay qareeb thay, meri chah thay, mera khwaab thay
Wo jo roz-o-shab meray paas thay, wohi log mujhsay bichar gay.

Courtsy: Aitbar Sajid

Guzashta chahato' ka dukh hawa may sarsaraay to
Koi bhoola hua lamha achanak yaad aye to
Tum apnay dil ka weerana bohat abad kar lena
Mujhay tum yad kar lena, mujhay tum yad kar lena

Khayaalo' kay mandero' par koi mashal jalaay to
Bahaaro' ka koi mosam tumhay wapis bulay to
Meri yado' ki khushboo sy wafa ko shaad kar lena
Mujhay tum yad kar lena, mujhay tum yad kar lena.
