"Ye Daulat bhi le lo" isn't by Qateel Shifai. I meant my favorite from Jagjit Chitra collection.

That was a beautiful piece. Hasn't it been sung by Mehdi Hassan ? Sad to hear about your wife's friend and thanks for sharing.

Jagjit/Chitra's second album "Milestone" also had the following light ones from Qateel Shifai.

mil kar judaa hue to na soyaa karenge hum
ek doosre ki yaad mein royaa karenge hum

aansoo chhalak-chhalak ke sataaenge raat bhar
moti palak-palak mein piroyaa karenge hum

jab duuriyon ki yaad dilon ko jalaaegi
jismon ko chaandni mein bhigoyaa karenge hum

Gar de gayaa dagaa hamein toofaan bhi 'qateel'
saahil pe kashtiyon ko duboyaa karenge hum

AND

pahale to apane dil ki razaa jaan jaa_iye
phir jo nigaah-e-yaar kahe maan jaa_iye

pahale mizaaj-e-raahaguzar jaan jaa_iye
phir gard-e-raah jo bhi kahe maan jaa_iye

kuchh kah rahii hai aap ke seene ki dhadkane
meri sunein to dil kaa kahaa maan jaa_iye

ik dhuup si jami hai nigaahon ke aas paas
ye aap hain to aap pe qurbaan jaa_iye

shaayad huzuur se koi nisbat hamein bhi ho
aankhon mein jhaank kar hamein pahachaan jaa_iye


* Qateel Shifai died in July this year. I found his work online : urdupoetry.com
