ye kis Khalish ne phir is dil me.n aashiyaanaa kiyaa

phir aaj kis ne suKhan ham se Gaayebaanaa kiyaa

Gam-e-jahaa.N ho, ruKh-e-yaar ho ke dast-e-uduu

salook jis se kiyaa hamane aashiqaanaa kiyaa

the Khaak-e-raah bhii ham log qahar-e-tuufaa.N bhii

sahaa to kyaa na sahaa aur kiyaa to kyaa na kiyaa

Khushaa ke aaj har ik mudda_ii ke lab par hai

vo raaz jis ne hame.n raa.Nd-e-zamaanaa kiyaa

vo hiilaagar jo vafaajuu bhii hai jafaaKhuu bhii

kiyaa bhii ‘Faiz’ to kis but se dostaanaa kiyaa..
