Wonderful poetry by Faraz saab.
silsile tod gaya woh sabhi jaate jaate
warna itne to marasim the k aate jaate
(marasim=relations)
shikwa-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahin behtar tha
apne hisse ki koi shama jalate jaate
(zulmat=darkness, shab=night)
kitna asaan tha tere hizar mein marna jaana
fir bhi ik umar lagi jaan se jaate jaate
(hizar=separation)
jashan-e-maqtal hi na barpa hua warna hum bhi
paab-zoolan hi sahi naachte gaate jaate
(maqtal=place of killing, barpa=start, paab=feet, zoolan=chained)
uski woh jaane use paas-e-wafa tha k na tha
tum Faraz apni taraf se to nibhaate jaate
(paas-e-wafa=respect for love)
Here its, in Faraz saab’s own voice:
