बात निकलेगी तो फिर दूर तलक जायेगी
लोग बेवजह उदासी का सबब पूछेंगे
ये भी पूछेंगे के तुम इतनी परेशान क्यों हो
उंगलियाँ उठेगी सूखे हुए बालों की तरफ

एक नजर देखेंगे गुजरे हुये सालों की तरफ
चूड़ियों पर भी के तंज किये जायेंगे
कापतें हाथों पर भी फिकरे कसे जायेंगे
लोग जालिम हैं हर इक बात का ताना देंगे
बातों बातों में मेरा जिक्र भी ले आयेंगे
उन की बातों का जरा सा भी असर मत लेना
वरना चेहरे के तासुर से समझ जायेंगे
चाहे कुछ भी हो सवालात ना करना उनसे
मेरे बारे में कोई बात ना करना उनसे

Great Ghazal. Describes a universal human condition , imposed by human on
to humans all over-------an inevitable result of being in the midst of a
social situation. Great singing , by an excelllent singer.

Singer Jagjit Singh says he got his break with HMV for his first record
when he happened to come across one such poem. The poem was published in
the magazine Shama (owned by Sadia Dehlvi’s family) and had been sent in by
a reader. Its magical opening line was: “Baat niklegi to phir duur talak
jaayegi (If our secret is revealed, word soon will spread).” The writing is
actually arrhythmic, and Jagjit Singh had to set it to a stop-start rhythm.
It remains his finest song. One can imagine the shock and exhilaration that
still-anonymous writer must have felt on suddenly hearing his or her (I
suspect her) words one day, rendered in that magnificent voice.
