main ne 'faani' Dubti dekhi hai nabz-e-kaaenaat — Fani Badayuni

na ibtidaa ki khabar hai na intihaa maalum
rahaa ye vahm ki ham hain so vo bhi kyaa maalum

apni jannat mujhe dikhlaa na sakaa tu vaaiz
kucha-e-yaar mein chal dekh le jannat meri

ham hain us ke khayaal ki tasvir
jis ki tasvir hai khayaal apnaa

rone ke bhi aadaab huaa karte hain 'faani'
ye us ki gali hai teraa gham-khaana nahin hai

mujh tak us mahfil mein phir jaam-e-sharaab aane ko hai
umr-e-rafta palTi aati hai shabaab aane ko hai

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

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

kaanTe se bhi nichoD li ghairon ne bu-e-gul
yaaron ne bu-e-gul se bhi kaanTaa banaa diyaa

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye

aaina khud bhi sanvartaa thaa hamaari khaatir
ham tire vaaste tayyaar huaa karte the

ye vaqt kaifiyaat se bhartaa nahin kabhi
ye jaam ikhtiyaar nahin kar rahaa huun main

zindagi sundar ghazal hai dosto
zindagi ko gungunaanaa chaahiye
