I believe that niether farishta2 g u nor Mohsin Naqvi’s soul wont mind much after reading this version of (which was originally superb piece of poetry) the ghazal;
mansoob raha jo taa-dair mairee zindagi k saath
aik baar phir chaur <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” /><st1:City w:st=“on”>gaya</st1:City> <st1:City w:st=“on”><st1:place w:st=“on”>bari</st1:place></st1:City> be-rukhi ke saath
yun tua hansta hoon barser e mahfil, magar
kitne ashq chupp jaatay hain is hansi ke saath
Fursat milay tau zara daikhna wo ankhain[FONT=‘Times New Roman’]
rah tuktay hueen pathar be-basi ke saath[FONT=‘Times New Roman’]
Majboor kia karain gaay haalat e zeest humay
[FONT=‘Times New Roman’]hum nay tau piya hai zehar bhi khushi ke saath
[FONT=‘Times New Roman’]
[FONT=‘Times New Roman’]Bar ha badlay hain loag apnay ahd o paymaan se[FONT=‘Times New Roman’]
waah kia salook rawaa rakha mairee zindagi ke saath
