Lyrics by Ameer Minai

A few notes:

* The few available references to this Ghazal mention only the first two lines as a Ameer Minai composition (specifically as a couplet).

* raaga.com has an audio version as part of Naina Devi’s album: Thumri (The Music of Love). The permalink for this is: http://www.raaga.com/play/?id=231669; wordpress does not allow embedding the raaga.com audio player. Keep in mind that raaga.com incorrectly identifies this song title as “Kahene Deti Nahi Kuchch” as do few other sites which have the mp3 versions of this song.

* If you find a suitable embeddable link on youtube or other mainstream site, please leave a comment with the details.
