Beautifully sung by Salma Agha. See in the end, Ahmed Faraz is in tears ЁЯЩВ
zindagi yun thi ke jeene ka bahana tu tha
hum faqat zaib-e-hikayat the, fasana tu tha
(faqat=alone, zaib=ornament, hikayat=story, zaib-e-hikayat=existing only in story)
hum ne jis jis ko bhi chaha tere hijran mein, woh log
aate jaate huye mausam the, zamana tu tha
ab ke kuch dil hi na maana ke palat kar aate
warna hum dar-ba-daron ka to thikana tu tha
(dar-ba-dar=door to door)
yaar aghayaar ke haathon mein kamanein thi ‘Faraz’
aur sab dekh rahe the ke nishana tu tha
(aghayaar=enemy, kamaan=bow)
