jawani ko bacha sakte to hain har dagh se waiz
magar aisi jawani ko jawani kaun kahta hai
Fani Badayuni
kuchh kaTi himmat-e-sawal mein umr
kuchh umid-e-jawab mein guzri
Fani Badayuni
kisi ko kya mere sud o ziyan se
gire kyun barq bach kar aashiyan se
Fani Badayuni
kisi ke ek ishaare mein kis ko kya na mila
bashar ko zist mili maut ko bahana mila
Fani Badayuni
kis KHarabi se zindagi 'fani'
is jahan-e-KHarab mein guzri
Fani Badayuni
kashti-e-e'tibar toD ke dekh
ki KHuda bhi hai na-KHuda hi nahin
Fani Badayuni
karam-e-be-hisab chaha tha
sitam-e-be-hisab mein guzri
Fani Badayuni
kafan ai gard-e-lahad dekh na maila ho jae
aaj hi hum ne ye kapDe hain naha ke badle
Fani Badayuni
jism-e-azadi mein phunki tu ne majburi ki ruh
KHair jo chaha kiya ab ye bata hum kya karen
Fani Badayuni
