This was mine and my fathers favourite Ghazal by Jagjit Singh

Sunte Hain Ke Mil Jati Hai – Jagjit Singh Ghazal (Lyrics with English Translation)

Lyrics with English Translation

Sunte hain ke mil jaatee hai har cheez dua se
ek roz tumhen maang ke dekhenge khuda se
We hear that everything is achieved through prayer.
One day I will ask God to see you

Duniya bhee milee hai gam-e-duniya bhee mila hai
vo kyoon nahin milata jise maanga tha khuda se?
The world has also been found, the sorrow of the world has also been found
Why don’t I get what I asked for from God?

Ai dil too unhen dekh kar kuchh aise tadapana
aa jae hansee unako jo baithe hain khapha se.
O heart, you yearn like this after seeing them.
May those who are sitting in sadness laugh.

(Mine and my dad’s favourite part)
Jab kuchh na mila haath duaon ko uthaakar
Phir haath uthaane hee pade hamako dua se.
When I got nothing by raising my hands in prayer.
I had no choice but to raise my hands in prayer
