ab vahi harf-e-junun sab ki zaban thahri hai
jo bhi chal nikli hai vo baat kahan thahri hai
aaj tak shaikh ke ikram men jo shai thi haram
ab vahi dushman-e-din rahat-e-jan thahri hai
hai khabar 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 ghadi bhar ko jahan thahri hai
vasl ki shab thi to kis darja subuk guzri thi
hijr ki shab hai to kya sakht giran thahri hai
bikhri ik baar to haath aai hai kab mauj-e-shamim
dil se nikli hai to kab lab pe fughan thahri hai
dast-e-sayyad bhi aajiz hai kaf-e-gul-chin bhi
bu-e-gul thahri na bulbul ki zaban thahri hai
aate aate yunhi dam bhar ko ruki hogi bahar
jaate jaate yunhi pal bhar ko khizan thahri hai
ham ne jo tarz-e-fughan ki hai qafas men ijad
‘faiz’ gulshan men vahi tarz-e-bayan thahri hai
