Faiz Ahmad Faiz
vo jis ki diid men lakhon masarraten pinhan
vo hasan jis ki tamanna main jannaten pinhan
hazar fitne tah-e-pa-e-naz khak-nashin
har ik nigah khumar-e-shabab se rangin
shabab jis se takhayyul pe bijliyan barsen
vaqar jis ki rafaqat ko shokhiyan tarsen
ada-e-laghzish-e-pa par qayamaten qurban
bayaz-rukh pe sahar ki sabahaten qurban
siyah zulfon men varafta nikhaton ka hujum
tavil raton ki khvabida rahaton ka hujum
vo aankh jis ke banav pa khaliq itrae
zaban-e-sher ko tarif karte sharm aae
vo hont faiz se jin ke bahar lala-farosh
bahisht o kausar o tasnim o salsabil ba-dosh
gudaz jism qaba jis pe saj ke naaz kare
daraz qad jise sarv-e-sahi namaz kare
gharaz vo husn jo mohtaj-e-vasf-o-nam nahin
vo hasan jis ka tasavvur bashar ka kaam nahin
kisi zamane men is rah-guzar se guzra tha
ba-sad ghurur o tajammul idhar se guzra tha
aur ab ye rah-guzar bhi hai dil-fareb o hasin
hai is ki khaak men kaif-e-sharab-o-sher makin
hava men shokhi-e-raftar ki adaen hain
faza men narmi-e-guftar ki sadaen hain
gharaz vo husn ab is rah ka juzv-e-manzar hai
niyaz-e-ishq ko ik sajda-gah mayassar hai
