Ek Bas Tu Hi Nahin Jo Mujhse Khafaa - By Mehdi Hassan - youtube.com/watch?v=FKVWFY…

haaye rii majabuuriyaan tark-e-mohabbat* ke liye // mujh ko samajhaate hain vo aur un ko samajhaataa huun main. [ *=to give up love] ~ Jigar

ek dil hai aur tuufaan-e-havaadis* ai "Jigar" // ek sheeshaa hai ki har patthar se takaraataa hu main. [ * =storm of misfortunes]

aa ki tujh bin is tarah ai dost ghabaraataa hu main // jaise har shay mein kisi shay ki kami paataa hu main ~ Jigar

shaayar-e-fitarat* hu main jab fikr farmaataa hu main // ruuh ban kar zarre-zarre mein samaa jaataa hu main. [ * = poet of nature ] ~ Jigar

aae to yuun to ke jaise hameshaa ke meharabaan // bhuule to yuun ke goyaa kabhi aashanaa na the. [goyaa=as if; ashanaa=friend/acquaintance]

'Umr-e-daraaz maang kar laaye the chaar din // Do aarzoo mein kat gaye do intezaar mein - 'Zafar'

With life as short as a half taken breath, Don't plant anything but Love ~ Rumi

log sar phoR kar bhii dekh chuke // gham kii diivaar TuuTtii hii nahiiN

ab to ghabraa ke ye kahte hain ki mar jaayenge // mar ke bhii chain na paaya to kidhar jaayenge - Zauq

कितना है बदनसीब “ज़फ़र″ दफ़्न के लिए // दो गज़ ज़मीन भी न मिली कू-ए-यार में

'Umr-e-daraaz maang kar laaye the chaar din // Do aarzoo mein kat gaye do intezaar mein - 'Zafar'

Sketch of Faiz Ahmed Faiz by M. F. Husain :

main khuda ki nazron mein bhi gunahgaar hotaa hu // jab sajdon mein bhi woh shakhs mujhe yaad aata hai via @ghouse_inzi

hazaar baar zamaana idhar se guzra hai // nai nai si hai teri rahguzar phir bhi - Firaq

phir baithe baithe vaadaa-e-vasl us ne kar liyaa // phir uth khada hua vahii rog intezaar kaa

husn ko be-hijaab honaa thaa // shauq ko kaamayaab honaa thaa // tere jalvon me ghir gayaa aakhir // zarre ko aafataab honaa thaa..

wohi hai zindagi lekin 'Jigar' ye haal hai apna // kay jaisay zindagi say zindagi kam hoti jati hai - Jigar

har ek ajanabii se pataa puuchhate hai // tujhe zindagii ham kahaan chhod aaye

ab to ghabaraa ke ye kahate hai ke mar jaayenge // mar ke bhii chain na paayaa to kidhar jaayenge-'Zauq'
