stuck in my head...

Lyrics like memories creep up out of the dark wells of the mind from no where. Things you thought you had forgotten, occur to you when you least expect it.

The subconscious giving way too sometimes, letting escape things the mind’s not meant to be aware of.

I digress.

I had this couplet roaming inside my head all day. Haven’t read Faraz in the longest time, if someone could post something of his, would appreciate it.

dil bhi bujha ho shaam ki parchaiyaaN bhi hoN
mar jaaiyyay jo aisay maiN tanhaiyaaN bhi hoN

he walks around in circles in my head…

Duniya ke tazkirey tow tabiyat hee ley bujhey
Baat uus ki ho tow phir sukhan-aaraiyaaN bhi hoN

Pehle pehar ka ishq abhi yaad hai Faraz
Dil khud ye chaahtaa hai ke ruswaaiyaaN bhi hoN

and now a lil somefin that I always remember when I remember Faraz,

Na puuch uus ka ke woh deewana bohut dinoN ka ujarh chuka hai
Woh kohkann tow nahiN tha lekin kari chataanoN se larh chuka hai
Woh thak chuka hai aur us ka taisha usee ke seeney meyN garh chuka hai

Sholaa thaa jal bujha houN havaa'eN mujhay na do
Mai kab ka jaa chuka houN sadaa'eN mujhay na do

Jo zeher pi chuka houN tumhin nay mujhay diya
Ab tum to zindagi ki duwaa'en mujhay na do

Aisa kahin naa ho keh palat ker naa aa sakoon
Her baar dur jaa ker sadaa'en mujhay na do

Kab mujh ko aiteraaf-e-muhabbat na tha Faraz
Kab mainay yeh kaha thaa sazaa'en mujhay na do.
