Haan wo nahin khuda parast,jao wo bewafa sahi,

is a beautiful ghazal and it is enhanced by neena gupta’s performance and charming presence of naseer-uddin-shah.

Ghalib kay kiye kehnay hein!!!

” Ragoun mein dourtey phirney kay hum nahin qaael
Jo aankh hi sey na tapka, tou phir lahoo kya hai! “

I hope its okay if some people simply dont understand some things. For me, its ghazals… :D

Thanks PR3RNA, beeca, zios :) for sharing your beautiful zouk with me :)
Priyank, I use to hate poetry and there was a time when Urdu language in particular was quite apposite to cool for :P But then I fell in love with someone and the rest is history ;)
