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:

Hi Amardeep, thanks a lot for posting this gazal. This is great service to an art of decades which is on the verge of dying. Would appreciate if someone can throw some light on jashn-e-maqtal sher. Although transalation is there still not able to relate to it what poet is trying to say.

Jashn e maqtal hi na barpa hua warna hum bhi
Pa ba jaulaan hi sahi naachte gaate jatay
The festive event of my execution didn’t happen
Otherwise I would be going there dancing and singing inspite of being feet chained
