I started working on this for a lady I was with but she ended things before I could get to the end of this song. #coolstory 

Lyrics from Faiz that I converted into my own musical version after I heard Ali Sethi at Jaipur Lit doing it.

Enjoy!

Here are the words:

mujh se pahali si mohabbat meri mahbub na mang
main ne samajha tha ki tu hai to darakhshan hai hayat
tera gham hai to gam-e-dahar ka jhagada kya hai
teri surat se hai aalam mein baharon ko sabat
teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakkha kya hai (*)
tu jo mil jaye to taqadir nigun ho jaye
yun na tha main ne faqat chaha tha yun ho jaye
aur bhi dukh hain zamane mein mohabbat ke siva
rahaten aur bhi hain vasl ke rahat ke siva
mujh se pahali si mohabbat meri mahbub na mang
anaginat sadiyon ke tarik bahimana talism
resham-o-atalas-o-kamkhvab mein bunavaye huye
ja-ba-ja bikate huye kucha-o-bazar mein jism
khak mein lithade huye khoon mein nahalaye huye
jism nikle huye amaraz ke tannuron se
pip bahati hui galate huye nasuron se
laut jati hai udhar ko bhi nazar kya kije
ab bhi dilkash hai tera husn magar kya kije
aur bhi dukh hain zamane mein mohabbat ke siva
rahaten aur bhi hain vasl ke rahat ke siva
mujh se pahali si mohabbat meri mahbub na mang

यह धुप किनारा
शाम ढले
मिलते हैं दोनों वक़्त जहाँ
जो रात न दिन
जो आज न कल
पल भर को अमर, पल भर में धुआं

इस धुप किनारे पल दो पल
होंठो की लपक, बाहों की खनक
ये मेल हमारा
पल भर को अमर, पल भर में धुआं

जब तेरे समंदर आखों में
इस शाम का सूरज डूबेगा
सुख सोयेंगे घर दर वाले
और राही अपनी राह लेगा

Ye dhoop kinara, shaam dhale
milte hain dono waqt jahaan
jo raat na din, jo aaj na kal
pal bhar ko amar, pal bhar mein dhuaan

Is dhoop Kinare Pal do pal
Hothon ki lapak, baahon ki khanak
yeh mel hamara
pal bhar ko amar, pal pal mein dhuan

jab teri samandar aankhon mein
is shaam ka suraj doobega
sukh soyenge ghar dar wale
aur raahi apni raah lega.
