ham faraamosh ki faraamoshi — Mirza Zahirddin Azfari

kis zamaane ki ye dushman thi miri
is mohabbat kaa ho munh kaalaa miyaan

oson gai hai pyaas kahin dida-e-namin
bujhtaa hai aansuon se kahaan dil phunkaa huaa

ye divaane hain mahv-e-did dilbar
nahin kuchh maante yaan ko na vaan ko

ham gunahgaaron ke kyaa khuun kaa phikaa thaa rang
mehndi kis vaaste haathon pe rachaai pyaare

tere mizhgaan ki kyaa karun taarif
tiir ye be-kamaan jaataa hai

'azfari' ghuncha-e-dil band aur aai hai bahaar
sair-e-gul ko ki ye shaayad ba-takalluf khil le

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

zindagi zor hai ravaani kaa
kyaa thamegaa bahaav paani kaa

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

meri saari zindagi ko be-samar us ne kiyaa
umr meri thi magar us ko basar us ne kiyaa

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein
