This ghazal is from the 1985 Indian Hindi-language thriller film Aitbaar (= Trust). Music was composed by Bappi Lahiri with Lyrics by Hasan Kamaal and Farooq Kaiser. This was Sung by Bhupinder Singh and Asha Bhosle.
It was a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 thriller Dial M For Murder. It was further remade in Tamil in 1985 as Saavi and in Malayalam in 1989 as New Year. Bappi Lahiri is famous for composing pop and disco music. It is nice to see him composing for ghazals. A ghazal is a poetic form originating in 7th-century Arabic verse, later flourishing in Persian and Urdu, consisting of 5–15 independent, rhyming couplets (bayt) linked by a strict refrain (radif) and rhyme (qafia) scheme. This has been one of my favorite songs that I listen to often.
Lyrics transliterated:
Kisi Nazar Ko Tera, Intezaar Aaj Bhi Hai
Kisi Nazar Ko Tera, Intezaar Aaj Bhi Hai
Kahaan Ho Tum Ke Ye Dil Bekraar Aaj Bhi Hain
O Kisi Nazar Ko Tera, Intezaar Aaj Bhi Hai
Woh Waadiyaan Woh Fizaayen, Ke Hum Mile The Jahaan
Who Waadiyaan Woh Fizaayen, Ke Hum Mile The Jahaan
Meri Wafaa Ka Wahin Par Mazaar Aaj Bhi Hain
O Kisi Nazar Ko Tera, Intezaar Aaj Bhi Hai
Na Jaane Dekh Ke Kyoon Un Ko, Yeh Huaa Ehsaas
Na Jaane Dekh Ke Kyoon Un Ko, Yeh Huaa Ehsaas
Ke Mere Dil Pe Unhein Ikhtiyaar Aaj Bhi Hai
O Kisi Nazar Ko Tera, Intezaar Aaj Bhi Hai
Woh Pyaar Jis Ke Liye, Humne Chhod Dee Duniyaa
Woh Pyaar Jis Ke Liye, Humne Chhod Dee Duniyaa
Wafaa Ki Raah Mein Ghaayal Woh Pyaar Aaj Bhi Hain
O Woh Pyaar Jis Ke Liye, Humne Chhod Dee Duniyaa
Yakeen Naheen Hai Magar, Aaj Bhi Ye Lagtaa Hain
Yakeen Naheen Hai Magar, Aaj Bhi Ye Lagtaa Hain
Meri Talaash Mein Shaayad Bahaar Aaj Bhi Hain
O Kisi Nazar Ko Tera, Intezaar Aaj Bhi Hai
Na Poochh Kitne Mohabbat Ke, Zakhm Khaaye Hain
Na Poochh Kitne Mohabbat Ke, Zakhm Khaaye Hain
Ke Jin Ko Soch Ke Dil Saugavaar Aaj Bhi Hai
O Woh Pyaar Jis Ke Liye, Humne Chhod Dee Duniyaa
Wafaa Ki Raah Mein Ghaayal Wo Pyaar Aaj Bhi Hain
O Kisi Nazar Ko Tera, Intezaar Aaj Bhi Hai
Kahaan Ho Tum Ke Ye Dil Bekraar Aaj Bhi Hain
O Kisi Nazar Ko Tera, Intezaar Aaj Bhi Hai
