Woh Jo Humme Tumme Karaar Tha by Begum Akhtar

For those of us who listen to Hindi or Urdu Ghazals, there are undoubtedly a few special favorites we can never get tired of listening to. Recently I came across this song when i heard this song in the movie Dedh Ishqiya where it plays in the background. The ghazal "Woh Jo Humme Tumme Karaar Tha" has been sung by various singers. The most beautiful version is the one sung by the Mallika-E-Ghazal Begum AkhtarShe has sung it so beautifully that even after you end up listening to the song it echoes into your ears for a long time and you yearn to hear it again and again. 




One more Beautiful rendition of the ghazal is here by the great ghazal singer Ghulam Ali in a classical ghazal singing style. 



Lyrics:

वो जो हममे तुममे क़रार था तुम्हें याद हो के न याद हो

वही यानी वादा निबाह का तुम्हें याद हो के न याद हो।

वो नए गिले वो शिकायतें वो मज़े-मज़े की हिकायतें
वो हर एक बात पे रूठना तुम्हें याद हो के न याद हो।

कभी हममें तुममें भी चाह थी कभी हम से तुम से भी राह थी
कभी हम भी तुम भी थे आश्ना तुम्हें याद हो के न याद हो।

जिसे आप गिनते थे आश्ना जिसे आप कहते थे बावफ़ा 
मैं वही हूँ “मोमिन”-ए-मुब्तला तुम्हें याद हो के न याद हो।
