dil-e-marhum ko khudaa bakhshe — Fani Badayuni

yuun na qaatil ko jab yaqin aayaa
ham ne dil khol kar dikhaai choT

vahm-o-qayaas ke sivaa haasil-e-hosh kuchh nahin
fahm ki ibtidaa hai vahm aql ki had qayaas hai

har nafas umr-e-guzishta ki hai mayyat 'faani'
zindagi naam hai mar mar ke jiye jaane kaa

har musibat kaa diyaa ek tabassum se javaab
is tarah gardish-e-dauraan ko rulaayaa main ne

maujon ki siyaasat se maayus na ho 'faani'
girdaab ki har tah mein saahil nazar aataa hai

yaa-rab tiri rahmat se maayus nahin 'faani'
lekin tiri rahmat ki taakhir ko kyaa kahiye

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

kiyaa dard-o-gham ne mujhe naa-umid
ki majnun ko ye hi thiin bimaariyaan

nur-e-sahar kahaan hai agar shaam-e-gham gai
kab iltifaat thaa ki jo khu-e-sitam gai

khuub gahri jo lagi choT to ham ne jaanaa
vaqt lagtaa hai kisi dard ko jaate jaate
