A very heartful ghazal song-Kahan Ho Tum

 

Sharing a song that I recently listened and is a deeply hypnotic song that I keep on listening. The original singer of this song is Shahnaz Begum, and the poetry of this song is by a famous poet Behzad Lakhnavi. 

I especially liked the cover version I found (see the link below)

Kaha Ho Tum | A Tribute to Shahnaz Begum| A Soulful Rendition of a Timeless Classic | Vikas Arora


I also found a female cover too (Kahan Ho Tum – Nostalgic Lofi Ghazal | Peaceful Midnight Ghazal | Produced by Sanson Ki Lay ) but I still like the male version better...

The heart-touching poetry of the song is:

"कहाँ हो तुम चले आओ मोहब्बत का तक़ाज़ा है

ग़म-ए-दुनिया से घबरा कर तुम्हें दिल ने पुकारा है


तुम्हारी बे-रुख़ी इक दिन हमारी जान ले लेगी

क़सम तुम को ज़रा सोचो कि दस्तूर-ए-वफ़ा क्या है


न जाने किस लिए दुनिया की नज़रें फिर गईं हम से

तुम्हें देखा तुम्हें चाहा क़ुसूर इस के सिवा क्या है


न है फ़रियाद होंटों पर न आँखों में कोई आँसू

ज़माने से मिला जो ग़म उसे गीतों में गाया है"

- Behzad Lakhnavi

Kahaan ho tum chale aao mohabbat ka taqaza hai - Ghazal
