Ahmed Faraz: Ab Ke Hum Bichhade

Ab ke Ham Bichhade To Shaayad Kabhii Khvaabon Mein Milen
jis tarah suukhe hue phuul kitaabo.n Mein Milen

Dhuundh Ujade Hue Logon Mein Vafaa Ke Moti
Ye Khazaane Tujhe Mumkin Hai Kharaabon Mein Milen

Tu Khudaa Hai Na Mera Ishq Farishton Jaisaa
Donon Insaa(n) Hain To Kyon Itane Hijaabon Mein Milen
[hijaab--> Purdah / Veil ]

Gam-e-duniyaa Bhi Gam-e-yaar Mein Shaamil Kar Lo
Nashaa Badhataa hai Sharaben Jo Sharaabon Mein Milen

Aaj Ham Daar Pe Khenche Gaye Jin Baaton Par
Kyaa Ajab Kal Vo Zamaane Ko Nisaabon Mein Milen

Ab Na Vo Main Hun Na Tu Hai Na Vo Maazii hai `Faraaz'
Jaise Do Shakhs Tamannaa Ke Saraabon Mein Milen
[maazii=past; saraab - illusion, mirage]
