Mubham baat paheli jaisi,bus wohi boojhay jis ko bujhaye
Bhed na paye to ghabraye, bhed jo paye to ghabraye,
Jis ko akele main aa aa kar dhyaan tera reh reh ke sataye,
Chupke chupke baitha roye, aansoo ponchay aur reh jaye
Sari kahani bechaini ki maathay par likh deti hai,
Aisi baat ke ghut te ghut te munh tak aaye aur reh jaye,
Arzoo apni dhoondhta hai patta, thaan chuka hai marne ki
Jaana boojha rog hai yeh to, Samjhe hue ko kya samjhaye
Heard this lovely ghazal written by Arzoo Lucknawi, sung by Mehdi Hasan brilliantly, after quite some time. You can listen in too.
An interesting thing about the first word. It sounds like Mugham when you listen to the ghazal, but it actually is Mubham which means 'ambiguous'. The meaning becomes clear (or, the ambiguity clears) when you realise the meaning.
