pahle tamaam shahr ko sahraa banaaeinge — Faisal Fehmi

kisi fard-e-mohabbat se bhalaa ummid kyaa rakhnaa
mohabbat bevafaa thi bevafaa hai bevafaa hogi

yahi sab log hain in sab ne miraa qatl kiyaa
ye miri qabr ko phulon se sajaane vaale

taa-umr tifl-e-dil pe yatimi kaa karb thaa
koshish to ki magar main kabhi maan na ban sakaa

main apne aap kaa sab se baDaa mukhaalif huun
miri hi tarah kaa ik shakhs aur hai mujh mein

taarik saraabon ki chakaa-chaund mein gum-sum
thaa sakht musalmaan main imaan se pahle

bahtaa rahaa main saahil-e-duniyaa ki ret par
aakhir badan ki khaak sameTi to ghar gayaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
