Ik Baar Muskurado By Munni Begum

Ik Baar Muskurado

Famous Ghazal By Munni Begum

Firdoos jhoom uthe, fiza muskura uthe

Tum muskura utho to, Khuda muskura uthe

Ik baar muskurado, Ik baar muskurado

Afsana-e-Chaman ka

Unwan hi badal do

Pholon ka sar kuchal do

Kaliyun ka dil masal do

Aakhash ki jawani

Badal main mun chupaye

Mahtaab doob jaye

Taron ko nend aaye

Zohra jabeen pari rukh

Tamseer-e-Mah o anjum

Ankhen sharaab aahen

Jazbaat main talatum

Hilte hue labon per, hasta hua tarana

Aye dil Nawaz pekar, khatir main hai zamana

Lab haye rehbari per

Nikhri hue hai laali

Ye halki halki surkhi

Tasweer hai shafaq ki

Awara shokh zulfen

Rukhsaar choomti hain

Bekhud hi ghoomti hai

Ho zeest ka sahara, tum mouj main kinara

Lakin suno Khudara,

Ik baar muskurado, Ik baar muskurado

Ik nojawan musafir,

Fitrat talaat baali

Ik aalam-e-junoon main

Ik simt jar raha tha

Jese k apne dhun main

Parbat pe charh raha tha

Zulfen k muntashir thi

Chehre se muzmayen tha

Nazren k rah per thi

Ik nashikast-e-dil tha

Maazi k ghonghaton main

Ik aks pa raha tha

Bhoola hua zamana

Phir yaad araha tha

Armaan tarap rahe the

Hasrat machal rahi thi

Betaab zindagani, karwat badal rahi thi

Gin gin taare haye bechare

Chen na aaye, jee ghabraye

Dekh to kya hai, kon basa hai

Deeda-e-tar main, Niche nazar main

Shisha-e-dil main, ankh k til main

Dil ko jalana khel hai janan,

Dil ko jala kar, aag laga kar

Khud bhi jaloge, hath maloge,

Tum shama-e-Firozan ho

Khud bhi jalo jalado lakin

Ik baar muskurado, Ik baar muskurado

Tum jaan-e-mudah ho

Ik husn-e-dil ruba ho

Itna to main kahonga

Mere hi is ghazal ka

Rangeen kafia ho

Ik baat tum se pochon?

Bolo jawaab doge?

Ye husn ye jawani

Sarkaar kya karoge?

Honton ki muskurahat,

Becho khareed longa

Manzoor ho to bolo

Anmol daam donga

Lakin

Ik baar muskurado, ik baar muskurado
