Dikhayi diye yun ke bekhud kiya..

There is a beautiful song in the movie Bazaar which goes as
dikhaaii diye yuu.N ki beKhud kiyaa
hame.n aap se bhii judaa kar chale

I think a very young Supriya Pathak enacts this song. Anyway I discovered today that this is actually a ghazal written by the famous poet Mir Taqi Mir. The full ghazal goes as

faqiraana aaye sadaa kar chale
miyaa.N Khush raho ham duaa kar chale

jo tujh bin na jiine ko kahate the ham
so is ahd ko ab wafaa kar chale

koii naa-ummiidaana karate nigaah
so tum ham se muu.Nh bhii chhipaa kar chale

bahot aarazuu thii galii kii terii
so yaa.N se lahu me.n nahaa kar chale

dikhaaii diye yuu.N ki beKhud kiyaa
hame.n aap se bhii judaa kar chale

jabii.n sajadaa karate hii karate gaii
haq-e-ba.ndagii ham adaa kar chale

parastish kii yaa.N taiin ki ayei but tujhe
nazar me.n sabo.n kii Khudaa kar chale

gaii umr dar ba.nd-e-fikr-e-Gazal
so is fan ko aisas ba.Daa kar chale

kahe.n kyaa jo puuchhe koii ham se "Meer"
jahaa.N me.n tum aaye the, kyaa kar chale

There is a song in the movie Dil hai ki maanta nahin which goes as "main pyaar hun kisi aur ka mujhe chaahta koi aur hai". This apparently has been cut copy pasted from another ghazal written by a poet by name Saleem Kausar. This is blatant plagiarism rt! I hope the songwriters do put in the actual credits somewhere. You can find the full text here. The lines I like most in this are

kabhii lauT aayeN to na puuchhnaa sirf dekhnaa baRe Ghaur se
jinheN raaste meN Khabar hu’ii ki ye raastaa ko’ii aur hai
