Ham Parwarish-e-Loh-o-Qalam Kartay Rahain Ge
Jo Dil Pe Guzarti Hai, Raqam Kartay Rahain Ge

Asbaab-e-Gham-e-Ishq Behem Kartay Rahain Ge
Veeraani-e-Dauraan Pe Qaram Kartay Rahain Ge

Haan Talkhi-e-Ayyaam Abhee Aur Barhay Gi
Haan Ahl-e-Sitam, Mashq-e-Sitam Kartay Rahain Ge

Manzoor Ye Talkhi, Ye Sitam Ham Ko Ganwaara
Dam Hai Tou Madawaa-e-Alam Kartay Rahain Ge

Mey Khaana Salaamat Hai, Tou Ham Surkhi Mey Se
Tazeen-e-Dar-o-Baam-e-Haram Kartay Rahain Ge

Baaqi Hai Lahuu Dil Mein Tou Har Ashq Se Paida
Rung-e-Lab-o-Rukhsaar-e-Sanam Kartay Rahain Ge

Ik Tarz-e-Taghaaful Hai So Wo Un Ko Mubaarak
Ik Arz-e-Tamanna Hai So Ham Kartay Rahain Ge

Phir nazar mein phool mehke, Dil mein phir shamain jali’n,
Phir tassawur ne liya uss bazmm mein jaane ka naam..

Bara hai dard ka rishta, Yeh dil ghareeb sahi,
Tumhare naam pe aayen ge ghamgusaar chale..

Dono jahan teri mohabbat main haar ke,
Wo ja raha hai koi shab-e-gham guzaar ke,

Viraan hai maikada khum-o-sagar udaas hai,
Tum kya gaye ke rooth gaye din bahaar ke,

Ik fursat-e-gunah mili, wo bhi chaar din,
Dekhe hain ham ne hausale parvar-digaar ke,

Duniya ne teri yaad se begaana kar diya,
Tujh se bhi dil fareb hain gham rozgaar ke,

Bhule se muskura to diye the wo aaj ‘faiz‘,
Mat puch val-vale dil-e-na-kardahkaar ke..

Dunyaa ne teri yaad se begaana kar diya,
Tujh se bhi dil–fareb hain gham rozgaar ke…

Hasrat-e-deed mein guzraan hain zamaney kab se
Dasht-e-umeed mein gardaan hain dawaney kab se

Der se ankh mein utra nahin askhon ka azaab
Apne zimey hain tera farz najaney kab se

Kis tarah paak ho be-arzu lamhon ka azaab
Dard aya nahin darbaar sjanaey kab se

Sar Karo saaz ke cherrein koi dil sooz ghazal
Dhoondta hai dil-e-shoreeda bahaney kab se

Pur karo jaam ke shayed ho isi lahta rawaan
Rok rakha hai jo ik teer kazzaa ne kab se

Faiz phir kab kisi maktal mein karain ge abad
Lab pe veeran hain shaheedon ke fasaney kab se

Dil mein ab yun tere bhooley howey gham ate hain
Jese bichre huye kaabey mein sanam ate hain

Ek ek kar ke huye jate hain diye tarey roshan
Meri manzil ki taraf tere kadam ate hain

Raqs-e-meh tez karo, Saaz ki leh tez karo
Suye meh-khana safeeran-e-haram ate hain

Kuch humain tou nahin ehsan uthaney ka dimagh
Woh tou jab ate hain mayel be-karam ate hain

Aur kuch der na guzrey shab-e-furkat se kaho
Dil bhi kam dukhta hai, woh yaad bhi kam ate hain
