Kab Tak Dil Ki Khair Manayen Kab Tak Rah Dikhlaoge

Kab tak dil ki khair manayen kab tak rah dikhlaoge,
Kab tak chain ki mohlat doge kab tak yaad na aaoge,

Beeta deed ummid ka mausam khaak udti hai aankhon mein, 
Kab bhejoge dard ka baadal kab barkha barsaoge,

Ahd-e-wafa ya tark-e-mohabbat jo chaaho so aap karo,
Apne bas ki baat hi kya hai hum se kya manwaoge,

Kis ne wasl ka suraj dekha kis par hijr ki raat dhhali,
Gesuon waale kaun the kya the un ko kya jatlaoge,

'Faiz' dilon ke bhaag mein hai ghar bharna bhi lut jaana thi,
Tum is husn ke lutf-o-karam par kitne din itraoge..!!

"Faiz Ahmad Faiz"
