Jafaa-e-zamaanaa

This was posted on aligarians.com; liked it so am posting it here... Don't know the name of the shaayar... ;-)

Jigar aur dil ko bachaanaa bhii hai;
Nazar aap hii se milaanaa bhii hai;
Muhabbat kaa har bhed paanaa bhii hai;
Magar apnaa daaman bachaanaa bhii hai;
Jo dil tere Gham kaa nishaanaa bhii hai;
Qatiil-e-jafaa-e-zamaanaa bhii hai;

[Qatiil : slain; jafaa-e-zamaanaa : cruelty of the world]

Ye bijlii chamaktii hai kyuN Dam-ba-dam chaman meN ko’ii aashiyaanaa bhii hai

[dam-ba-dam : now and then ...]
