Ho chali hai aadat zeher peene ki ab
Dil chhota yuhi kartey nahi hum
Dhuan hai, nasha hai ya deewangi hai
Ye soch aahein bhartey nahi hum
Lagti hai thokar jab raastey mein
Ashqon ko zaaya kartey nahi hum
Raha hoga shayad fasana koi sa
Nafrat ke sholon mein jaltey nahi hum
Peshani pe harf godey khuda ne
Mukammal jahan chaaha kartey nahi hum
Par ye bhi sach hai gaye hain wo jabse
Jeetey nahi hum, martey nahi hum
Ashq- tears; zaaya- waste; fasana- story; peshani- forehead; harf- words; godey- engraved; Mukammal- complete
aadat ho chali hai ab aapke blog ki
ReplyDeleteaapke har fasane mein kuch ada hai
har harf kuch naya, kuch alag lekin acha lagta hai
wah wah kar apni comments mukammal karte hain har bar....
The pic said it all:( It is scary, don't wanna look at it:(
