Ek Fasana Sun Gae Ek Kah Gae

Fani Badayuni

ik fasana sun ga.e ik kah ga.e

main jo roya muskura kar rah ga.e

ya tire mohtaj hain ai ḳhun-e-dil

ya inhin ankhon se dariya bah ga.e

maut un ka munh hi takti rah ga.i

jo tiri furqat ke sadme sah ga.e

tu salamat hai to ham ai dard-e-dil

mar hi ja.enge jo jiite rah ga.e

phir kisi ki yaad ne taḌpa diya

phir kaleja thaam kar ham rah ga.e

uTh ga.e duniya se ‘fani’ ahl-e-zauq

ek ham marne ko zinda rah ga.e
