Lost Love Chronicles — Wo Pyaar, Wo Khulus, Wo Chahat Nahin Mili by Shishir Parkhie

 Sung & Composed by: Shishir Parkhie

Poet: Ashok Jharia “Shafaq”
Album: Khulus – Ghazals of Dreams, Desires & Destiny
Released by: T-Series


About the Ghazal

Wo Pyaar, Wo Khulus, Wo Chahat Nahin Mili is a soulful expression of lost love and the longing that follows. The poet, Ashok Jharia ‘Shafaq’, gives voice to a heart searching for true affection and sincerity (khulus) that remains elusive after separation.

Composed and sung by Shishir Parkhie, this ghazal features in the album Khulus – Ghazals of Dreams, Desires & Destiny by T-Series. Its melody and gentle arrangement highlight the depth of the poet’s emotions.


The Emotion

The ghazal beautifully portrays the emptiness that no wealth, wisdom, or worldly honor can fill — only the lost love’s sincerity could have. It speaks to every heart that has known the ache of longing.


🎧 Listen to the Ghazal


वो प्यार वो ख़ुलूस वो चाहत नहीं मिली

तुझसे बिछड़ के मुझको मोहब्बत नहीं मिली

मैं साधु और संत, फकीरों से भी मिला

ईमान की कहीं मुझे दौलत नहीं मिली

जो दूसरों के दर्द में शामिल नहीं हुआ

उसको ज़माने में कभी इज़्ज़त नहीं मिली

देखा था एक बार जिसे मैंने प्यार से

वो देखने को बरसों से सूरत नहीं मिली

उसको जहाँ की नेमतें क्या रास आएँगी

जिसको तुम्हारे प्यार की दौलत नहीं मिली

A tender reflection on how thoughts bridge distances. Even in separation, the beloved remains close through imagination.

2. Wo Pyaar Wo Khuloos
A deep introspection on attachments and ultimate spiritual contentment. Material desires fade before the purity of true devotion.

3. Bekhudi Sii
An ecstatic surrender to love’s magic, where reality dissolves into blissful intoxication.

4. Allah Allah Ye Kya
A plea to the divine for reunion. The lover invokes higher powers to overcome obstacles in love’s path.

5. Ghamon Mein Zara
A poetic ode to pain — where sorrow itself teaches tenderness, depth, and understanding.

6. Sitam Ki Wo Bijli
A bold celebration of the heart’s resilience, where even suffering becomes insignificant before the beloved’s allure.

Journey of Roomaniyat

Mijaaz Raat Ka penned by Ajay Pande 'Sahaab' is a reverent acknowledgement of love as the muse for literary pursuits. A true lover can draw inspiration from everything all around, as everything appears to be an embodiment of the beloved. 


Bhala Mane Bura Mane penned by Aninda K. Chakraborty ‘Koshish’ is a romantic reflection of the delicate harmony of love. The poignant paradox of desire and devotion, presence and pursuit, pleasure and pain, is expressed through the voice of a yearning heart.


Aa Chandni Bhi penned by Dr. Bashir Badr is an ode to the euphoria of love. As moonlight bears mute witness, the forlorn lover spends sleepless nights in separation. The delirium of desire creates an intoxicated spirit of memories of the pleasant moments of union.

Journey of Roomaniyat 1


Dastak Hai Ki penned by Shahid Kabir glorifies the magical experience of love as seen through the heart of a lover in the trance of ecstasy. Lost in love, the lover feels the presence of the beloved in every longing breath and in the vibrations of each passing moment.

Thi Gar Aane Mein (Nazm) by Jaun Elia celebrates different seasons of love.It wonderfully communicates how in spite of all its laments, love is still a precious & endearing emotion. In spite of all the pain it brings, love is always welcomed in all its unique unique ways of manifestation.

Ek Ladki hai by Vilas Pandit is a fitting description of power and vulnerability of love-Incomplete yet infallible, pure yet so latent, peaceful yet perturbing, love is the perfect experience of calm and chaos in every moment of existence. 

Journey of Roomaniyat 2

Kamaal-E- Ishq hai  by Majaaz Lucknawi is an exuberant exposition of ecstasy, an uninhibited acceptance of indulgence in all that is related to love.  

Shak Mein Saare by Ghalib Ayaz is a depiction of the ambiguity of emotions. The celebration of love is so evident and yet so latent. On side of a heart in love wants to boldly exhibit the beloved, while the other wants the expression to be subtle, subdued and secretive. And yet, love finds a way to express itself for the world to see.

Tere Ishq Ki penned by the legendary Muhammad Iqbal is a reflection of the supreme power of love. There is nothing more enchanting or precious than love. Lovers are prepared to relinquish even the rights of heaven for a glimpse of the beloved. The ecstasy of love often drives lovers to impulsive insolence. Even then, who wants to refrain from this intoxicating indulgence.
