ishq mein ghairat e jazbat ne rone na diya warna kya baat thi kis baat ne rone na diya

aap kehte the ke rone se na badlein ge naseeb umar bhar aap ki is baat ne rone na diya

rone walon se kaho unka bhi rona ro lein jin ko majburi e halat ne rone na diya

tujh se mil kar humein rona tha bahot rona tha tangi e waqt e mulaqat ne rone na diya

ek do roz ka sadma ho tou ro lein 'faakir' hum ko har roz ke sadmat ne rone na diya

Ae mohabbat tere anjam pe rona aya.

Aye mohabbat tere anjaam pe rona aaya, Jaane kyun aaj tere naam pe rona aaya

Oh love, your consequences brought me to tears today I wonder why, the mention of your name brought me to tears today

Yun to har shaam ummeedon mein guzar jaati hai, Aaj kuch baat hai, jo shaam pe rona aaya

Most evenings were spent living in hope Something is different today, the evening brought me to tears today

Kabhi taqdir ka maatam, kabhi duniya ka gila, Manzil-e-ishq mein har gaam pe rona aaya

Sometimes mourning over fate, sometimes complaining about the world In the journey to the destination of love, every step brought me to tears

Jab hua zikr zamaane mein mohabbat ka ‘Shakil’, Mujhko apne dil-e-nakaam pe rona aaya

At the mere mention of love in this world, Shakeel (name of poet) The unsuccessful attempts of my heart brought me to tears today

sung by Begum Akhtar; lyrics by Shakeel Badayuni

जिसे आप गिनते थे आशना जिसे आप कहते थे बावफा

मैं वही हूँ मोमिन-इ-मुब्तला तुम्हें याद हो के ना याद हो

“Zeenat-un-Nisa survives Aurangzeb by many years. She is witness to the rapid disintegration of the Mughal empire as it recedes away from the Deccan and Bengal and gathers itself around the tombs of the old Sufi saints in Delhi. Zeenat-un-Nisa is the calm constant in a court in which seven padshahs rule in quick succession after Aurangzeb dies, and they are indiscriminately murdered, or blinded, or beheaded. The very last padshah of Zeenat-un-Nisa’s long life is Raushan Akhtar Muhammad Shah, great-grandson of Aurangzeb, more commonly known as Muhammad Shah Rangeela. Zeenat-un-Nisa is an old lady of seventy-six when the nineteen-year-old Muhammad Shah becomes Padshah Ghazi. Muhammad Shah is as different from Aurangzeb as it is possible to be. He is a discerning patron of the arts and will preside over a glittering salon where the poets and musicians will create works of endless beauty as Shahjahanabad prepares to burn. He is also, without doubt, something of a bacchanalian, fond of dancing girls and mystifyingly given to wearing a lady’s tunic and pearl-embroidered shoes while attending his mushairas (gathering of poets). Like the free-spirited matriarchs who presided over the zenanas of Babur and Humayun, Zeena-un-Nisa is cherished and respected till the end of her long life. But despite the bewildering exuberance of Muhammad Shah Rangeela’s court, night approaches for the Mughal empire. Zeenat-un-Nisa will be the last of the padshah begums, a lonely survivor of a golden age, watchful but voiceless guardian of a glorious legacy.”

- Ira Mukhoty, “Daughters of the Sun: Empresses, Queens and Begums of the Mughal Empire”

So here's a list of my absolute favourites. You may have heard some/a lot.

Aap ki nazron ne samjha

Aapki yaad aati rahi raat bhar

Aah ko chahiye ek umr asar hone tak

Ae mohabbat tere anjaam pe

Aaj dil pe koi zor chalta nahi

Apno ke sitam humse - begum akhtar

Aap aaye toh khayal-e-dil-e-nashaad

Aankhon ma aavi rite (shyamal saumil-- gujarati)

Ame suta zarna ne (shyamal saumil-- gujarati)

Ab kya bataun main tere - (k l saigal)

Aap ke haseen rukh

Apsara ali

It goes well with our biases to think of Muslim women as this weak and oppressed lot like they cannot think for themselves, they are docile, submissive and what not. And we still nurture this bias despite seeing women of Sudan climbing on top of vehicles in protest, we saw remarkable women of Shaheen bagh, we saw young girls in hijab riding scooter 🛵 to college fighting for their right to education (fighting not with their dads as is the image but Hindu mob) and now we see brave Iranian women burning their scarf, shaving their head... Try to think of women from other communities who have been this brave, this assertive and fighting against absolutely autocratic and dictatorial regimes that are not shy of using violence to quell protests. I'll wait.

Notice I haven't mentioned Begum Akhtar from Pakistan who under dictatorial regime of Zia walked onto stage wearing a black sari that was banned and then took mike and sang "Hum Dekhenge" - a nazm by Faiz on which again there was a ban. What guts! But then she was established singer and a well known figure unlike the common but extraordinary women mentioned before.
