Shafinn's life / Choices

Yeh aarzoo thi tujhe gul ke ru-ba-ru karte

Hum aur bul-bul-e-betaab guftagu karte

Peyum-bar na muyasar hua to khoob hua

Zabaan-e-gair se kya sher ki aarzoo karte

Meri tarah se maah-o-mahar bhi hain aawara

Kisi habib ko ye bhi hain justaju karte

Jo dekhte teri zanjeer-e-zulf ka aalam

Aseer honay ke aazad aarzoo karte

Na pooch aalam-e-bargashta taali’-e-Aatish

Barasti aag main jo baraan ki aarzoo karte
