bimaar tire ji se guzar jaaein to achchhaa — Fani Badayuni

kisi ke ek ishaare mein kis ko kyaa na milaa
bashar ko ziist mili maut ko bahaana milaa

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
