Zindagi ne zindagi bhar.... gham diye...

How true.. sigh.. but.. kya kar sakte hain.
Hota hai, chalta hai... duniya hai..

Ahmed Faraz ki ek ghazal hai.. it's been ringing in my head for a few days now.. just thought I would put it up here:

'faraz' ab koi sauda koi junoon bhi nahin

magar - qaraar se din kat rahe hon - yoon bhi nahin

lab-o-dahan bhi mila - guftaguu ka fan bhi mila

magar - jo dil pe guzarti hai - kah sakun bhi nahin

meri zubaan ki luknat se badgumaan na ho

jo tu kahe to - tujhe umr bhar - miloon bhi nahin

'faraz' jaise koi diyaa turbat-e-havaa chaahe hai

tu paas aaye to mumkin hai - main rahoon bhi nahin
