dil ek mandir hai

jaane waale kabhii nahiiN aate
jaane waale kii yaad aatii hai.

Thus starts the title song of "Dil Ek Mandir' by Hasrat Jaipuri. The couplet above was written by Sikandar Ali Wajd.

muhabbat raNg laa_egii/nazar se phuul chunatii hai/saraktii jaa_e hai ruK se

In 1981 two films came with a similar song. Hasrat Jaipuri wrote muhabbat raNg laa_egii janaab aahista aahista for Poonam



and Nida Fazli wrote nazar se phuul chunatii hai nazar aahista aahista


aahista aahista is a very popular radeef of Ghazals, Wali dakkani has used it in Ghazals like

kiyaa mujh ishq ne zaalim ko aab aahista aahista
ki aatish gul ko kartaa hai gulaab aahista aahista

vafaadaarii ne dilbar kii bujhaayaa aatishe Gam kuuN

ki garmi daf'a kartii hai gulaab aahista aahista

ajab kuchh lutf rakhtaa hai shab e KHilvat meN gulruu suuN

KHitaab aahista aahista javaab aahista aahista

adaa o naaz se aataa hai vo raushan jabiiN ghar suuN

ki jyuuN mashriq suuN nikle aaftaab aahista aahista

Wali mujh dil meN aataa hai KHayaal e yaar be parvaa

ki jyuuN aNkhiyaaN maneN aataa hai KHvaab aahista aahista



There is also a similar Ghazal  attributed to Amir Minai and one year later the a part of it was used in Deedaar-e-Yaar (1982)with a slight modification. In the verse

wo bedardii se sar kaaTeN amiir aur maiN kahuuN un se
huzuur aahistaa aahistaa janaab aahistaa aahistaa

amiir was replaced by meraa


*Some scholars say that this Gazal is erroneously attributed to Ameer Minai

unakii pahalii nazar kyaa asar

Hasrat Jaipuri wrote "unaki pahalii nazar kyaa asar kar gaii" for April Fool (1964)
The second misra of the mukhRaa is taken from a Gazal of daaG dehlavi (1831-1905) as well as a similar Gazal by Labhu Ram Josh Malsyiani (1884-1976)
The Gazal of daaG went like this:

dil ko kyaa ho gayaa Khudaa jaane
kyuuN hai aisaa udaas kyaa jaane

kah diyaa maiN ne haal-e-dil apanaa
is ko tum jaano yaa Khudaa jaane

jaanate jaanate hii jaanegaa
mujh meN kyaa hai abhii wo kyaa jaane

tum na paaoge saadaa dil mujhasaa
jo taGaaful ko bhii hayaa jaane




Josh Malsiyani said:

dil ko kal tak to chain haasil thaa
aaj kyaa ho gayaa, Khudaa jaane

baat rindii ki mujh ko aatii hai
paarsaa'ii ki paarsaa jaane

baada-noshoN ka hashr kyaa hogaa?
mujh balaa-nosh ki balaa jaane

For the film Arzoo (1965) Hasrat Jaipuri wrote:

chhalke teri aa.nkho.n se sharaab aur zyaadaa

One misra is practically unchanged in the song:
dhaRake hai dil-e-Kaanaa Karaab aur zyaadaa.

o mere shaah-e-Kuubaa.n

Hakim Momin Khan Momin wrote "tum mere paas hote ho goyaa, jab ko_ii duusaraa nahii.n hotaa". Mirza Ghalib famously remarked, "Give this sher to me and take my whole diiwaan".

Hasrat Jaipuri's song in "Love in Tokyo" (1966), o mere shaah-e-Kuubaa.n is clearly inspired by Momin's Ghazal

ibtidaa-e-ishq me.n ham saarii raat jaage

Mir Taqi Mir's famous couplet:
ibtidaa-e-ishq hai rotaa hai kyaa
aage aage dekhi_e hotaa hai kyaa

was turned into a duet by Hasrat Jaipuri
ibtidaa-e-ishq me.n ham saarii raat jaage
allaah jaane kyaa hogaa aage...o maula jaane kyaa hogaa aage.
for Hariyali Aur Raasta (1962).


P.S. Though this she'r has gained popular currency in this form, Mir's diiwaan (compiled by Ali Sardar Jafri) records it in a slightly different form:

raah-e-duur-e-ishq se rotaa hai kyaa
aage aage dekhi_e hotaa hai kyaa
