Baad-e-Dafan

Brother Hamza Khatri, I didn't know you but while everyone was mourning for you, I realized you must have been a great person. That moment I made up my mind that I must write something for you.

Arre logo! Ro kar meri rooh ko satao mat,
''Sabar rakhiye'' meri maa ko ye likho khat.

Ama! is tarha gum se kyu ho rahi ho nadhaal?
Tumhare ladle ka khuda khud rakh raha hai khayal.

Kash insaan jan le baad-e-maut ki hakeekat,
Dunya sirf ek tamasha hai aur yahee hai asliat.

Main chala gaya to kia ghum? Tumne bhi to ana hai,
Kyun ke Dunya arzee aur qabar aslee thhika hai.

Khoon se jab hua main laal to khud se kia ek sawaal, 
Kash mazid sajdo me guzarte ye mahine aur ye saal.

Baad-e-Dafan jab farishte kar rahe hain sawaal,
Bare fakhar se pesh kar raha hu main apne Ahmaal.

Jab zinda tha to anjaam se lagta tha dar,
ab khuda bhi kahe to! kabhi jau na laot kar.

Dedicated to our fellow Pafian, Hamza Khatri.
May his soul rest in peace.

People die, personalities don't.
Forever in our hearts and prayers.
