Lyrics of Na Tha Kuch To Khuda Tha - ना था कुछ तो खुदा था
na tha kuch to khuda tha, kuch na hota to khuda hota
na tha kuch to khuda tha, kuch na hota to khuda hota
duboya mujhko hone ne, na hota main to kya hota
hua jab ghum se yu bebas, to ghum kya sar ke katne ka
hua jab ghum se yu bebas, to ghum kya sar ke katne ka
na hota agar juda tan se, to jaano par dhara hota
huyi muddat ke gaalib mar gaya par yaad aata hai
huyi muddat ke gaalib mar gaya par yaad aata hai
wo har ek baat per kahna ke yu hota to kya hota
na tha kuch to khuda tha, kuch na hota to khuda hota
duboya mujhko hone ne, na hota main to kya hota
hua jab ghum se yu bebas, to ghum kya sar ke katne ka
hua jab ghum se yu bebas, to ghum kya sar ke katne ka
na hota agar juda tan se, to jaano par dhara hota
huyi muddat ke gaalib mar gaya par yaad aata hai
huyi muddat ke gaalib mar gaya par yaad aata hai
wo har ek baat per kahna ke yu hota to kya hota
Poetic Translation - Lyrics of Na Tha Kuch To Khuda Tha - ना था कुछ तो खुदा था
Before existence, God; if nothing, still God.
Before existence, God; if nothing, still God.
Existence drowned me, what would I be if naught?
When grief made me helpless, what sorrow in a severed head?
When grief made me helpless, what sorrow in a severed head?
If the body had not separated, I would be upon the soul.
For ages, Ghalib's gone, yet his memory lingers, bright.
For ages, Ghalib's gone, yet his memory lingers, bright.
His every word: *If this happened, what would be the light?*
Before existence, God; if nothing, still God.
Existence drowned me, what would I be if naught?
When grief made me helpless, what sorrow in a severed head?
When grief made me helpless, what sorrow in a severed head?
If the body had not separated, I would be upon the soul.
For ages, Ghalib's gone, yet his memory lingers, bright.
For ages, Ghalib's gone, yet his memory lingers, bright.
His every word: *If this happened, what would be the light?*

No doubt,a masterpiece created when remarkable poetry of Mirza Ghalib is given voice of Jagjit Singh.But one must admit a very high standard of acting as exhibited by Mr.Naseer-Ud-Din Shah.Just watch the expressions in this video.

I salute u 4 ur profound comprehension. your first/former interpretation of first misra is absolutely correct because latter lines support the same thought! GOD BLESS U N KEEP IT UP.

Nice explanation mate, but in my opinion, first explanation is more appropriate here. Because, after first misra he says: "Duboya mujhko honay ne, Na hota mein tau kya hota".

A huge loss indeed.As a young man i grew up listening to his ghazals along with my friends in Karachi.He will always bring me memories of my college days, and my obsession with Ghalib at that time.His ghazals ,especially Ghalib ghazals that he sang had a huge impact on me personally, and gave color to my life and many other young men like me at that time.Thankyou sir
