Mita De Apni Hasti Ko Agar Kuchh Martabaa Chaahiye Ki Daanaa Quotes

Jaane kyun yeh kambakht nazar lag jaati hai
haseen raaton ke baad gham ki dhoop chaa jaati hai

kho gaya shorishe-geti mein karina apna

nakhuda door, hawa tez, karin kaame-nahang
waqt hai fenk de lehron mein safeena apna

arsa-e-dah ke hungaame tahe-khwaab sahi
garm rakh aatishe-pekaar se seena apna

saakiya ranj na kar jaag uthegi mehfil
aur kuch der utha rakhte hain peena apna

zulmate-yaas ko mat saunp khajeena apna.. - Faiz Ahmed Faiz
