aaiiye haath uThaaye.n ham bhii

Duaa
aaiiye haath uThaaye.n ham bhii
Faiz Ahmed Faiz

aaiiye haath uThaaye.n ham bhii
ham jinhe.n rasm-e-dua yaad nahii.n
ham ji.nhe.n soz-e-mohabbat ke siwaa
koii but, koii Khudaa yaad nahii.n

aaiiye arz guzare.n ki nigaar-e-hastii
zahar-e-imaroz me.n shiiriinii-e-fardaa.N bhar de
wo ji.nhe.n tabe garaa.Nbaarii-e-ayyaam nahii.n
unakii palako.n pe shab-o-roz ko halkaa kar de

jinakii aa.Nkho.n ko ruKh-e-subh kaa yaaraa bhii nahii.n
unakii raato.n me.n koii shamaa munawwar kar de
jinake qadamo.n ko kisii rah kaa sahaaraa bhii nahii.n
unakii nazaro.n pe koii raah ujaagar kar de

jinakaa dii.n pairavii-e-kazbo-riyaa hai unako
himmat-e-kufr mile, jurat-e-tahaqiiq mile
jinake sar mu.ntazir-e-teG-e-jafaa hai.n unako
dast-e-qatil ko jhaTak dene kii taufiiq mile

ishq kaa sarr-e-nihaa.N jaan-tapaa.N hai jis se
aaj iqaraar kare.n aur tapish miT jaaye
harf-e-haq dil me.n KhaTakataa hai jo ka.NTe kii tarah
aaj izahaar kare.n or Khalish miT jaaye

dono jahaa.N terii mohabbat me.n haar ke

dono jahaa.N terii mohabbat me.n haar ke
Faiz Ahmed Faiz

dono jahaa.N terii mohabbat me.n haar ke
wo jaa rahaa hai koii shab-e-Gam guzaar ke

viiraa.N hai maikadaa Khum-o-saaGar udaas hai
tum kyaa gaye ke ruuTh gaye din bahaar ke

ik fursat-e-gunaah milii, wo bhii chaar din
dekhe hai.n ham ne hausale parvar-digaar ke

duniyaa ne terii yaad se begaanaa kar diyaa
tujh se bhii dil fareb hai.n Gam rozagaar ke

bhuule se muskuraa to diye the wo aaj 'Faiz'
mat puuchh val-vale dil-e-naa-kardaakaar ke

dil me.n ab yuu.N tere bhuule huye Gam aate hai.n

dil me.n ab yuu.N tere bhuule huye Gam aate hai.n
Faiz Ahmed Faiz

dil me.n ab yuu.N tere bhuule huye Gam aate hai.n
jaise bichha.De huye kaabe me.n sanam aate hai.n

ik ik kar ke huye jaate hai.n taare raushan
merii manzil kii taraf tere qadam aate hai.n

raqs-e-may tez karo, saaz kii lay tez karo
suu-e-maiKhaanaa safiiraan-e-haram aate hai.n

kuchh hamii.n ko nahii.n ehasaan uThaane kaa dimaag
vo to jab aate hai.n maa_il-ba-karam aate hai.n

aur kuchh der na guzare shab-e-furqat se kaho
dil bhii kam dukhataa hai vo yaad bhii kam aate hai.n
