55  AND WHAT THEY SAY IS PROBABLY TRUE

They blame me so much for loving you
And what they say is probably true

And if they taunt, and if they mock
I just keep quiet and let them talk

And if my foes do call me names
I let them play their dirty games

And when I lose, I don’t lose hope
And with my losses I try to cope

And if harsh and cruel becomes my fate
I know it’ll turn, so I simply wait

And if you do not come to me
I try not to lose my sanity

And if the night is wet and long
I go to FAIZ and sing his song

                    URDU POEM     
                        GHAZAL

Hum per tumhaari chaah ka ilzaam hi toe hay
Dishnaam toe naheen hay, yeh ikraam hi toe hay

Kertay haen jis pay ta'an koie jurm toe naheen
Shouq e fazool o ulfat e naakaan hi toe hay

Dil mudaie kay harf e malaamat say shaad hay
Aey jaan e jaan, yeh herf tera naam hi toe hay

Dil naaumeed toe naheen, naakaam hi toe hay
Lambi hay gham ki shaam mager shaam hi toe hay

Dast e falak maen gerdish e taqdeer toe naheen
Dast e falak maen gerdish e ayyaam hi toe hay

Aakhir toe aek roaz keray gi nazar wafa
Wo yaar e khushkhisaal sar e baam hi toe hay

Bheegi hay raat FAIZ, ghazal ibteda kero
Waqt e sarood dard ka hangaam hi toe hay
