Rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahaan koi na ho

I have posted three songs from “Mirza Ghalib” (1954) in the past. It seems that there are readers who are aware of more songs from this movie.
Here is another song from this movie on the farmaish of Sid. This song is sung by Suraiyya and it is picturised on her as well. Mirza Ghalib (on whose life this movie is based) is himself the lyricist. Ghulam Mohammad is the music director.
Here is this lovely song from the past.

Song-Rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahaan koi naa ho (Mirza Ghalib) (1954) Singer-Suraiyya, Lyrics-Mirza Ghalib, MD-Ghulam Mohammad
Lyrics
rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahaan koi na ho
hamsukhan koi na ho aur hamzabaan koi na ho
rahiye ab aisi jagah
be-dar-o-deewaar kaa ik ghar banaayaa chaahiye
be-dar-o-deewaar kaa ik ghar banaayaa chaahiye
koi hamsaayaa na ho aur paasbaan koi na ho
rahiye ab aisi jagah
padiye gar beemaar to koi na ho teemaardaar
padiye gar beemaar to koi na ho teemaardaar
aur agar mar jaaiye to nauhakwaan koi na ho
rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahaan koi na ho
rahiye ab aisi jagah

The same ghazal rendered by Ustad Amir Khan :
There is a history behind his rendition of this ghazal. Ustad Amir Khan would not sing in his concert or any other occasions, ghazals, thumri and other forms of semi-classical songs. But he made a couple of exceptions to his self-,imposed rule. He sang this ghazal under the music direction of Pandit Amarnath Chawla (who was his senior most desciple) for Film Division’s documentary, ‘Mirza Ghalib’.

Mirza Ghalib must have written these heart-felt words out of some kind of dejection but how true it became in the post-retirement life of Suraiya. She lived a life of seclusion.
