Gulaab Jism Ka Yunhi Nahin Khila Hoga...is a Ghazal written by my father Professor Shahryar for Muzaffar Ali's Anjuman, a film starring Farouque Shaikh and Shabana Azmi. The music is by Khayyam Sahab and you can notice the haunting laidback old world charm in his music arrangements in this composition. The Ghazal is sung by Bhupendra and Shabana Azmi. Hope you like it.
Gulaab jism ka yunhi nahin khila hoga
Hawa ne pahle tujhe, phir mujhe, chua hoga
Shareer shoq kiran mujhko choom leti hai
Zaroor isme ishaara tera chupa hoga
Meri pasand pe tujhko bhi rashk aayega
Ke aaine se, jahan tera saamna hoga
Ye aur baat ki main khud na paas aa paayi
Haan mera saaya to har shab tujhe mila hoga
Ye soch soch ke katti nahin hai raat meri
Ke tujhko sote hue chaand dekhta hoga
Main tere saath rahoongi wafa ki raahon mein
Ye ahad hai, na mere dil se tu, juda hoga
Gulaab jism ka yunhi nahin khila hoga
Hawa ne pehle tujhe phir mujhe chua hoga

I think this is beautiful. I admit since I'm late into the "Hindi film industry" experience I haven't heard a lot of the classical. This is very pretty. Again, I don't understand all the words, but have really enjoyed the song as a whole. Thanks Faridoon. ;) And how cool to have such a nice message from Subhash Ghai! :)

One of the components of culture is music and the other is language. Whatever language is present the music is what makes it relevant and appreciated.

Amazing use of urdu language. Person is carried into the world of meanings, away from the sensual. A breath of fresh air.
