Haath uthe hain magar lab pe duaa koii nahiin

Faraz has got it for all states of mind :)


haath uThe hai.n magar lab pe duaa ko_ii nahii.n
kii ibaadat bhii vo jis kii jazaa ko_ii nahii.n

[duaa = prayer; jazaa = reward]

ye bhii vaqt aanaa thaa ab to gosh har aavaaz hai
aur mere barbaad-e-dil me.n sadaa ko_ii nahii.n

aa ke ab tasliim kar lein tuu nahiin to main sahii
kaun maanegaa ke ham mein bevafaa koii nahiin


vaqt ne vo Khaak u.Daa_ii hai ke dil ke dasht se
qaafile guzare hai.n phir bhii naqsh-e-paa ko_ii nahii.n

[dasht = desert/wildnerness; qaafile = caravans]
[naqsh-e-paa = footprints]

Khud ko yuu.N mahasuur kar baiThaa huu.N apanii zaat me.n
manzile.n chaaro.n taraf hai raastaa ko_ii nahii.n


[mahasuur = surrounded; zaat = self/one's personality]

kaise raasto.n se chale aur kis jagah pahu.Nche 'Faraz'
