Chand nikle kisī janib tiri zebai ka

Rañg badle kisi surat shab-e-tanhai ka

Daulat-e-lab se phir ai ḳhusrav-e-shirin-dahanan

Aaj arzan ho koi harf shanasai ka

Garmi-e-rashk se har anjuman-e-gul-badanan

Tazkira chheḌe tiri pairahan-arai ka

Sehn-e-gulshan men kabhi ai shah-e-shamshad-qadan

Phir nazar aa.e saliqa tiri raanai ka

Ek baar aur masiha-e-dil-e-dil-zadagan

Koi vaada koi iqrar masihai ka

Diida o dil ko sambhalo ki sar-e-shām-e-firaq

Saz-o-saman baham pahuncha hai rusvai ka

Be-dam hue bimar dava kyun nahin dete

Tum achchhe masihā ho shifa kyun nahin dete

Dard-e-shab-e-hijran ki jaza kyun nahin dete

Khun-e-dil-e-vahshi kā sila kyun nahin dete

MiT jaegi maḳhluq to insaf karoge

Munsif ho to ab hashr utha kyuun nahin dete

Haañ nukta-varo laao lab o dil kī gavāhī

Haan naġhmagaro saz-e-sada kyuun nahin dete

Paiman-e-junun hathon ko sharma.ega kab tak

Dil vaalo gareban ka pata kyun nahin dete

Barbadi-e-dil jabr nahin ‘Faiz’ kisi ka

Vo dushman-e-jan hai to bhula kyuun nahin dete

Baat bas se nikal chali hai

Dil ki halat sambhal chali hai

Ab junun had se badh chala hai

Ab tabiat bahal chali hai

Ashk ḳhunab ho chale hain

Gham ki rangat badal chali hai

Ya yunhi bujh rahi hain shamen

Ya shab-e-hijr Tal chali hai

Laakh paiġham ho gae hain

Jab saba ek pal chali hai

Jaao ab so raho sitaro

Dard ki raat Dhal chali hai

Ab vahi harf-e-junun sab ki zaban Thahri hai

Jo bhi chal nikli hai vo baat kahan Thahri hai

Aaj tak shaiḳh ke ikram men jo shai thi haram

Ab vahi dushman-e-din rahat-e-jan Thahri hai

Hai ḳhabar 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 saḳht giran Thahri hai

Bikhri ik baar to haath aai hai kab mauj-e-shamim

Dil se nikli hai to kab lab pe fuġhan Thahri hai

Dast-e-sayyad bhi aajiz hai kaf-e-gul-chin bhi

Bū-e-gul Thahri na bulbul ki zaban Thahri hai

Aate aate yunhi dam bhar ko rukī hogi bahar

Jaate jaate yūñhī pal bhar ko ḳhizan Thahri hai

Ham ne jo tarz-e-fuġhan ki hai qafas meñ ījād

‘Faiz’ gulshan meñ vahī tarz-e-bayan Thahri hai

Ab ke baras dastūr-e-sitam meñ kyā kyā baab īzād hue

Jo qātil the maqtūl hue jo said the ab sayyād hue

Pahle bhī ḳhizāñ meñ baaġh ujḌe par yuuñ nahīñ jaise ab ke baras

Saare buuTe patta patta ravish ravish barbād hue

Pahle bhī tavāf-e-sham-e-vafā thī rasm mohabbat vāloñ kī

Ham tum se pahle bhī yahāñ ‘mansūr’ hue ‘farhād’ hue

Ik gul ke murjhāne par kyā gulshan meñ kohrām machā

Ik chehra kumhlā jaane se kitne dil nāshād hue

‘Faiz’ na ham ‘yūsuf’ na koī ‘yāqūb’ jo ham ko yaad kare

Apnī kyā kan.āñ meñ rahe yā misr meñ jā ābād hue

Ab jo koī pūchhe bhī to us se kyā sharh-e-hālāt kareñ

Dil Thahre to dard sunā.eñ dard thame to baat kareñ

Shaam huī phir josh-e-qadah ne bazm-e-harīfāñ raushan kī

Ghar ko aag lagā.eñ ham bhī raushan apnī raat kareñ

Qatl-e-dil-o-jāñ apne sar hai apnā lahū apnī gardan pe

Mohr-ba-lab baiThe haiñ kis kā shikva kis ke saath kareñ

Hijr meñ shab bhar dard-o-talab ke chāñd sitāre saath rahe

Sub.h kī vīrānī meñ yaaro kaise basar auqāt kareñ

”Aap kī yaad aatī rahī raat bhar”

Chāñdnī dil dukhātī rahī raat bhar

Gaah jaltī huī gaah bujhtī huī

Sham-e-ġham Jhilmilātī rahī raat bhar

Koī ḳhushbū badaltī rahī pairahan

Koī tasvīr gaatī rahī raat bhar

Phir sabā sāya-e-shāḳh-e-gul ke tale

Koī qissa sunātī rahī raat bhar

Jo na aayā use koī Zanjīr-e-dar

Har sadā par bulātī rahī raat bhar

Ek ummīd se dil Bahaltā rahā

Ik tamannā satātī rahī Raat Bhar

Aaj yuuñ mauj-dar-mauj ġham tham gayā is tarah Gam-zadoñ ko qarār aa gayā

Jaise ḳhush-bū-e-zulf-e-bahār aa ga.ī jaise paiġhām-e-dīdār-e-yār aa gayā

Jis kī dīd-o-talab vahm samjhe the ham rū-ba-rū phir sar-e-Rahguzār aa gayā

Sub.h-e-fardā ko phir dil tarasne lagā umr-e-rafta tirā e’tibār aa gayā

Rut badalne lagī rañg-e-dil dekhnā rañg-e-gulshan se ab haal khultā nahīñ

Zaḳhm chhalkā koī yā koī gul khilā ashk umDe ki abr-e-bahār aa gayā

Khūn-e-ushshāq se jaam bharne lage dil sulagne lage Daaġh jalne lage

Mahfil-e-dard phir rañg par aa ga.ī phir Shab-e-Arzū par nikhār aa gayā

Sarfaroshī ke andāz badle ga.e dāvat-e-qatl par maqtal-e-shahr meñ

Daal kar koī gardan meñ tauq aa gayā laad kar koī kāñdhe pe daar aa gayā

‘Faiz’ kyā jāniye yaar kis aas par muntazir haiñ ki lā.egā koī ḳhabar

Mai-kashoñ par huā Mohtasib mehrbāñ dil-Figāroñ pe qātil ko pyaar aa gayā
