Faiz Ahmad Faiz

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

aiye hath uthayen ham bhi
ham jinhen rasm-e-dua yad nahin
ham jinhen soz-e-mohabbat k siwa
koi but, koi khuda yad nahin

aiye arz guzaren ki nigar-e-hasti
zahar-e-imaroz main shirini-e-fardan bhar de
wo jinhen tabe garanbari-e-ayyam nahin
unki palkon pe shab-o-roz ko halka kar de

jinki ankhon ko rukh-e-subh ka yara bhi nahin
unki raton main koi shama munawwar kar de
jin k qadamon ko kisi rah ka sahara bhi nahin
unki nazron pe koi rah ujagar kar de

jinka din pairavi-e-kazbo-riya hai unko
himmat-e-kufr mile, jurat-e-tahaqiq mile
jink sar muntazir-e-teg-e-jafa hain unko
dast-e-qatil ko jhatak dene ki taufiq mile

ishq ka sarr-e-nihan jan-tapan hai jis se
aj iqrar karen aur tapish mit jaye
harf-e-haq dil main khatakta hai jo kante ki tarah
aj izhar karen or khalish mit jaye

Qurb K Na Wafa K Hote Hain
Saray Jhagray Ana K Hote Hain

Baat Niyat Ki Sirf Hai Warna
Waqt Saray Dua K Hote Hain

Bhool Jate Hain, Mat Bura Kehna
Log Putlay Khata K Hote Hain

Wo Bazahir Jo Kuch Nahi Lagte
Un Se Rishtay Bala K Hote Hain

Wo Humara Hai Is Tarah Se Faiz
Jaisay Banday Khuda K Hote Hain
