Bas kaafi hai ..


Meri qismat mein tu nahi to koi baat nahi..
Meri qismat tera naam hai, bas kaafi hai..

Din mein tu nahi hai mere paas, raat mein bhi nahi..
Teri yaadon ki ek shaam hai, bas kaafi hai..

Pyaas se sookh gaye mere honth to kya hua..
Teri justju se labrez khaali jaam hai, bas kaafi hai..

Manzil tak pahunchein bhi kyon aur kis ke liye..
Adhhoora hi sahi, ishq mera maqaam hai, bas kaafi hai..

Nahi jaanta koi main kaun hoon to koi baat nahi..
Shehar mein diwaangi ka ek kissa aam hai, bas kaafi hai..

Nahi maangti meri rooh sukoon ab dil ka..
Ye fakeer jism badnaam hai, bas kaafi hai..

Toofan mein jaa ghiri hai meri koshishon ki kashti..
Mohabbat ka samandar bhi niilaam hai, bas kaafi hai..

  2. "Nahee Maangti Meri Rooh Sukoon Ab Dil; Yeh Fakeer Jism Badnaam Hai Bas Kaafi Hai"; One of the best lines of this ghazal; captures the pithy wanderlust, the sexy infamy, the nocturnal contradictions, of a physical soul, beautifully!
