1/3: Fani Badayuni

suni hikayat-e-hasti

to darmiyan se suni

na ibtida ki khabar hai

na inteha maaloom

heard the story of life

but from the middle

don’t know how it started

nor know where it will end

Theme:Nature, World & Universe (44)

2/3: Fani Badayuni

ya rab, teri rehmat se

mayoos nahi 'fani'

lekin teri rehmat ki

takheer ko kya kahiye

o god, ‘fani’ is not disappointed

by your show of mercy

but, what to say about

the delay in show of mercy

Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)

3/3: Fani Badayuni

kuch kaTi himmat-e-savaal

mein umr

kuch ummeed-e-javaab

mein guzri

some time in life has gone

in mustering the courage to ask

the rest was spent

in waiting for an answer

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
