FAIZ AHMAD FAIZ

Chand nikle kisī janib tiri zebai ka Rañg badle kisi surat shab-e-tanhai ka Daulat-e-lab se phir ai ḳhusrav-e-shirin-dahanan Aaj arzan ho koi harf shanasai ka Garmi-e-rashk se har anjuman-e-gul-badanan Tazkira chheḌe tiri pairahan-arai ka Sehn-e-gulshan men kabhi ai shah-e-shamshad-qadan Phir nazar aa.e saliqa tiri raanai ka Ek baar aur masiha-e-dil-e-dil-zadagan Koi vaada koi iqrar masihai ka Diida o dil ko sambhalo ki sar-e-shām-e-firaq Saz-o-saman baham pahuncha hai rusvai ka

Be-dam hue bimar dava kyun nahin dete Tum achchhe masihā ho shifa kyun nahin dete Dard-e-shab-e-hijran ki jaza kyun nahin dete Khun-e-dil-e-vahshi kā sila kyun nahin dete MiT jaegi maḳhluq to insaf karoge Munsif ho to ab hashr utha kyuun nahin dete Haañ nukta-varo laao lab o dil kī gavāhī Haan naġhmagaro saz-e-sada kyuun nahin dete Paiman-e-junun hathon ko sharma.ega kab tak Dil vaalo gareban ka pata kyun nahin dete Barbadi-e-dil jabr nahin ‘Faiz’ kisi ka Vo dushman-e-jan hai to bhula kyuun nahin dete

Baat bas se nikal chali hai Dil ki halat sambhal chali hai Ab junun had se badh chala hai Ab tabiat bahal chali hai Ashk ḳhunab ho chale hain Gham ki rangat badal chali hai Ya yunhi bujh rahi hain shamen Ya shab-e-hijr Tal chali hai Laakh paiġham ho gae hain Jab saba ek pal chali hai Jaao ab so raho sitaro Dard ki raat Dhal chali hai

Ab vahi harf-e-junun sab ki zaban Thahri hai Jo bhi chal nikli hai vo baat kahan Thahri hai Aaj tak shaiḳh ke ikram men jo shai thi haram Ab vahi dushman-e-din rahat-e-jan Thahri hai Hai ḳhabar garm ki phirta hai gurezan naseh Guftugu aaj sar-e-ku-e-butan Thahri hai Hai vahi ariz-e-laila vahi shirin ka dahan Nigah-e-shauq … Read more
