Poetry of Ahmed Faraz......

Ab ke ham bicchde to shaayad kabhi Khwaabon mein mileinjis tarah sukhe hue phool kitaabon mein milein---Dhundh ujadde hue logon mein wafaa ke motiye Khazaane tujhe mumkin hai Kharaabon mein milein [ujadde = desolated,ruined; Kharaab = bad]---Tu Khudaa hai na mera ishq farishton jaisaDono insaan hain to kyun itne hijaabon mein milein [hijaab - veil, here itmeans barrier]---ab na wo main houn na tu hai na wo maazi hai `Faraaz',jaise do shakhs tamanna ke saraabon mein milein[maazi=past; saraab=illusion, mirage]---Gam-e duniya bhi Gam-e yaar mein shaamil kar lonashaa barhta hai sharabein jo sharaabon mein milein---Aaj ham daar pe Khenchay gaye jin baaton parkyaa ajab kal wo zamaane ko nisaabon mein milein
