مُرلی سُنا دے کرشن مُراری ۔ بہزاد لکھنوی
۱
گہرا گہرا پاپ کا ساگر
نیّا پھنسی ہے بھنور میں آ کر
پار لگا دے کرشن مُراری
مُرلی سُنا دے کرشن مُراری
۲
پہلا سا دِل میں درد نہیں ہے
آہ بھی اب تو سرد نہیں ہے
آگ لگا دے کرشن مُراری
مُرلی سُنا دے کرشن مُراری
۳
روتا ہوں میں دِل کو تھامے
کیا غم ہے یہ تو ہی جانے
دُکھ یہ مِٹا دے کرشن مُراری
مُرلی سُنا دے کرشن مُراری
۴
دُکھ تو نے دُنیا کے مِٹائے
لاکھوں سفینے پار لگائے
مجھ کو تِرا دے کرشن مُراری
مُرلی سُنا دے کرشن مُراری
मुरली सुना दे क्रिशन मुरारी – बहज़ाद लखनवी
१
गहरा गहरा पाप का सागर
नय्या फँसी है भंवर में आ कर
पार लगा दे क्रिशन मुरारी
मुरली सुना दे क्रिशन मुरारी
२
पहला सा दिल में दर्द नहीं है
आह भी अब तो सर्द नहीं है
आग लगा दे कृश मुरारी
मुरली सुना दे क्रिशन मुरारी
३
रोता हूं मैं दिल को थामे
क्या ग़म है ये तू ही जाने
दुख ये मिटा दे क्रिशन मुरारी
मुरली सुना दे क्रिशन मुरारी
४
दुख तू ने दुनिया के मिटाए
लाखों सफ़ीने पार लगाए
मुझ को तिरा दे क्रिशन मुरारी
मुरली सुना दे क्रिशन मुरारी
