Faiz Ahmed Faiz

aaye kuchh abr kuchh sharaab aaye
us ke baad aaye jo azaab aaye

[azaab=trouble, difficulty]

baam-e-miinaa se maahataab utare
dast-e-saaqii me.n aaftaab aaye

har rag-e-Khuu.N me.n phir charaaGaa.N ho
saamane phir wo benaqaab aaye

umr ke har waraq pe dil ko nazar
terii meher-o-wafaa ke baab aaye

kar rahaa thaa Gam-e-jahaa.N kaa hisaab
aaj tum yaad behisaab aaye

na gaii tere Gam kii saradaarii
dil me.n yuu.n roz inqalaab aaye

jal uThe bazm-e-Gair ke dar-o-baam
jab bhii ham Khaanamaa.N_Kharaab aaye

is tarah apanii Khamashii guu.Njii
goyaa har simt se jawaab aaye

'Faiz' thii raah sar basar ma.nzil
ham jahaa.N pahu.Nche kaamayaab aaye

har haqiiqat majaaz ho jaaye

har haqiiqat majaaz ho jaaye

har haqiiqat majaaz ho jaaye
kaafiro.n kii namaaz ho jaaye

minnat-e-chaaraasaaz kaun kare
dard jab jaa.N navaaz ho jaaye

ishq dil me.n rahe to rusavaa ho
lab pe aaye to raaz ho jaaye

lutf kaa intazaar karataa huu.N
jor taa hadd-e-naaz ho jaaye

umr besuud kaT rahii hai 'Faiz'
kaash afshaa-e-raaz ho jaaye

shaiKh saahab se rasm-o-raah na kii

shaiKh saahab se rasm-o-raah na kii

shaiKh saahab se rasm-o-raah na kii
shukr hai zindagii tabaah na kii

tujh ko dekhaa to ser-e-chashm hue
tujh ko chaahaa to aur chaah na kii

tere dast-e-sitam kaa ajz nahii.n
dil hii kaafir thaa jis ne aah na kii

the shab-e-hijr kaam aur bahut
ham ne fikr-e-dil-e-tabaah na kii

kaun qaatil bachaa hai shahar me.n 'Faiz'
jis se yaaro.n ne rasm-o-raah na kii
