Happy Birthday Nayyara Noor

Amiable, Educated & Cultured, A Living Legend.

مجھے اپنے ضبط پہ ناز تھا، سرِ بزم رات یہ کیا ہوا
مری آنکھ کیسے چھلک گئی، مجھے رنج ہے یہ برا ہوا
مجھے آپ کیوں نہ سمجھ سکے یہ خود اپنے دل ہی سے پوچھیے
مری داستانِ حیات کا تو ورق ورق ہے کھلا ہوا
جو نظر بچا کے گزر گئے مرے سامنے سے ابھی ابھی
یہ مرے ہی شہر کے لوگ تھے مرے گھر سے گھر ہے ملا ہوا​

میرے دیس دا مان تران جیوے
مزدور کسان جوان جیوے
شهر بھنبھور دیو کڑیو تسی نک وچ نتھ نه پاویو
میں بھل گیء آں تسی بھل نه جاویو تے یاری نال بلوچ نه لاویو

هاے اوے ربا نهیوں لگدا دل میرا
سجناں باجوں ھویا اندھیرا​
