taa-umr tifl-e-dil pe yatimi kaa karb thaa — 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

pahle tamaam shahr ko sahraa banaaeinge
phir vahshaton ki ret pe soyaa kareinge ham

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

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai
