uh ghabrai hui phirti hai meri lash par
kya janaze par mere KHat ka jawab aane ko hai
Fani Badayuni
muskurae wo haal-e-dil sun kar
aur goya jawab tha hi nahin
Fani Badayuni
na ibtida ki KHabar hai na intiha malum
raha ye wahm ki hum hain so wo bhi kya malum
Fani Badayuni
na intiha ki KHabar hai na intiha malum
raha ye wahm ki hum hain so ye bhi kya malum
Fani Badayuni
na-mehrbaniyon ka gila tum se kya karen
hum bhi kuchh apne haal pe ab mehrban nahin
Fani Badayuni
na-umidi maut se kahti hai apna kaam kar
aas kahti hai Thahar KHat ka jawab aane ko hai
Fani Badayuni
nahin zarur ki mar jaen jaan-nisar tere
yahi hai maut ki jina haram ho jae
Fani Badayuni
phir kisi ki yaad ne taDpa diya
phir kaleja tham kar hum rah gae
Fani Badayuni
one ke bhi aadab hua karte hain 'fani'
ye us ki gali hai tera gham-KHana nahin hai
Fani Badayuni
