82 THAT COME YOU WILL, IF ONLY TO SLAY

82  THAT COME YOU WILL, IF ONLY TO SLAY

To see your face I yearn and crave
And about you, darling, I rant and rave

And then I sit and cry and cry
I moan, and groan, and sob, and sigh

I feel the ache; I feel the pain
I curse, and kick, and go insane

I want to sing a sorry tune
I look at the moon and start to croon

I want to drown the sorrow of mine
I go to the bar and drink some wine

But when nothing works, I start to pray
That come you will, if only to slay

                            URDU POEM
                                GHAZAL

Hasrat e deed maen guzraan haen zamaanay kab say
Dasht e umeed maen gerdaan haen dawaanay kab say

Dair say aankh pay utra naheen ashkoun ka azaab
Apnay zimmay hay tera qarz na jaanay kab say

Kis terheh paak ho baiaarzoo lamhoun ka hisaab
Dard aaya naheen darbaar sajaanay kab say

Sar kero saaz keh chhairhaen koie dilsoaz ghazal
Dhoondhta hay dil e shoareeda bahaanay kab say

Pur kero jaam keh shaayad ho isi lehza rawaan
Roak rakhhkhha hay jo ik teer qaza nay kab say

FAIZ phir kab kisi maqtal ko keraen gay aabaad
Lab pay weeraan haen shaheedoun kay fasaanay kab say
