ham hain us ke khayaal ki tasvir — 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
