Faiz Ahmad Faiz
gulon men rang bhare bad-e-nau-bahar chale
chale bhi aao ki gulshan ka karobar chale
qafas udaas hai yaaro saba se kuchh to kaho
kahin to bahr-e-khuda aaj zikr-e-yar chale
kabhi to subh tire kunj-e-lab se ho aghaz
kabhi to shab sar-e-kakul se mushk-bar chale
bada hai dard ka rishta ye dil gharib sahi
tumhare naam pe aenge gham-gusar chale
jo ham pe guzri so guzri magar shab-e-hijran
hamare ashk tiri aqibat sanvar chale
huzur-e-yar hui daftar-e-junun ki talab
girah men le ke gareban ka taar taar chale
maqam ‘faiz’ koi raah men jacha hi nahin
jo ku-e-yar se nikle to su-e-dar chale
