Hum To Majbur The Is dil Se

Faiz Ahmad Faiz

ham to majbur the is dil se ki jis men har dam

gardish-e-khun se vo kohram bapa rahta hai

jaise rindadan-e-bala-nosh jo mil baithen baham

mai-kade men safar-e-jam bapa rahta hai

soz-e-khatir ko mila jab bhi sahara koi

dagh-e-hirman koii, dard-e-tamanna koi

marham-e-yas se mail-ba-shifa hone laga

zakhm-e-ummid koi phir se hara hone laga

ham to majbur the is dil se ki jis ki zid par

ham ne us raat ke mathe pe sahar ki tahrir

jis ke daman men andhere ke siva kuchh bhi na tha

ham ne is dasht ko thahra liya firdaus-e-nazir

jis men juz sanat-e-khun-e-sar-e-pa kuchh bhi na tha

dil ko taabir koi aur gavara hi na thi

kulfat-e-zist to manzur thi har taur magar

rahat-e-marg kisi taur gavara hi na thi
