silsile tor gayaa vo sabhii jaate jaate

silsile toR gayaa vo sabhii jaate jaate
varnaa itne to maraasim the ke aate jaate

shikvaa-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahiiN behtar thaa
apne hisse kii ko’ii shammaa jalaate jaate


kitnaa aasaaN tha tere hijr meN marna jaanaaN
phir bhi ik umar lagi jaan se jaate jaate

jashn-e-maqtal hi na barpa hu’aa varnaa ham bhii
paa-bajolaaN hii sahii naachte gaate jaate


uskii vo jaane usse paas-e-vafaa thaa ke na thaa
tum “Faraz” apnii taraf se to nibhaate jaate

Poetry by Ahmed Faraz
