Pakistan’s great ghazal singer Iqbal Bano passed away today in Lahore. May her soul rest in peace. Here is a small tribute to the great singer in the form of a wonderful ghazal sung by her. The poet is Baqi Siddiqui.
daag-e-dil humko yaad aane lage
log apne diye jalane lage
khud farebi si khud farebi hai
paas ke dhol b suhaane lage
ab to hota hai har qadam pe gumaan
hum yeh kaisa qadam uthane lage
ek pal mein wahan se hum uthe
baithne mein yahan zamane lage
Few more stanzas not sung by her in this mehfil (taken from here):
kuch na pakar bhi mutmain hain
ishq mein haath kya khazane lage
(mutmain=Appeased, Quiescent)
apni qismat se hai maqar kisko
teer par ka ke bhi nishaane lage

i think its “Apni qismat se hy MAFUR kisko” Mafur means “faraar” (not sure) and in the end its “teer par ur kay bhi nishanay lagay”.

its not “wahan” its “baithnay main JAHAN zamanay lagay”

Thank you for doing a great job!!!! Here are the complete ghazal lyrics….
Daagh-e-Dil Hum ko yaad ane lage
Logg apne diye jalaane lage
Kuch na paa kar bhi mutma’en hain Hum
Ishq mein haath kya khazaane lage
yehi rasta hai ab yehi manzil
ab yehein dil kisi bahane lage
Khud fareybi si Khud fareybi hai
Paas k dhol bhi suhaane lage
Ab to hota hai har qadam pe gumaan
Hum ye kysa qadam uthaane lage
Is badalte hue zamaney mein
Tere qissey bhi kuch puraane lage
Rukh badalne laga fasaane ka
Logg mehfil se uth k jaane lage
Ek pal mein hum wahan se uthe
Baithne mein jahan zamaane lage
Apni kismat se hai mufer kis ko?
Teer par urr k bhi nishaane lage
Hum taka aye, na aaye mousam-e-gul
Kuch parinde to chehchahaane lage
Shaam ka waqt ho gaya Baaqi’…!
Bastiyon se sharaar aane lage…’
Daagh-e-Dil Hum ko yaad ane lage
Logg apne diye jalaane lage

There is no escape from what is written in taqdeer.
