1 / 5: Fani Badayuni
har nafas umr-e-guzishta
ki hai mayyat, fani
zindagi naam hai
mar mar ke jiye jaane ka
every breath, fani, is
the corpse of a moment gone
what we call life
is living through repeated deaths

2 / 5: Fani Badayuni
ik muamma hai samajhne ka
na samjhaane ka
zindagi kaahe ko hai
khwaab hai deewaane ka
it is a puzzle, neither to
understand or to explain
what's the point of life?
it is but a madman's dream

3 / 5: Fani Badayuni
suni hikaayat-e-hasti
to darmiyaan 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

4 / 5: 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

5 / 5: 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
