AahaT sī koī aa.e to lagtā hai ki tum ho
Saaya koī lahrā.e to lagtā hai ki tum ho
Jab shāḳh koī haath lagāte hī chaman meñ
Sharmā.e lachak jaa.e to lagtā hai ki tum ho
Sandal se mahaktī huī pur-kaif havā kā
Jhoñkā koī Takrā.e to lagtā hai ki tum ho
Odhe hue tāroñ kī chamaktī huī chādar
Naddī koī bal khaa.e to lagtā hai ki tum ho
Jab raat ga.e koī kiran mere barābar
Chup-chāp sī so jaa.e to lagtā hai ki tum ho….
Aah ko chāhiye ik umr asar hote tak
Kaun jiitā hai tirī zulf ke sar hote tak
Partav-e-ḳhur se hai shabnam ko fanā kī ta.alīm
Maiñ bhī huuñ ek ināyat kī nazar hote tak
Yak nazar besh nahīñ fursat-e-hastī ġhāfil
Garmī-e-bazm hai ik raqs-e-sharar hote tak
Gham-e-hastī kā ‘asad’ kis se ho juz marg ilaaj
Sham.a har rañg meñ jaltī hai sahar hote tak,,
Aae kuchh abr kuchh sharāb Aae
Is ke ba.ad aa.e jo azaab Aae
Bām-e-mīnā se māhtāb utre
Dast-e-sāqī meñ āftāb aae
Har rag-e-ḳhūñ meñ phir charāġhāñ ho
Sāmne phir vo be-naqāb Aae
Umar ke har varaq pe dil kī Nazar
Terī mehr-o-vafā ke baab Aae
Kar rahā thā ġham-e-jahāñ kā Hisāb
Aaj tum yaad be-hisāb Aae
Na ga.ī tere ġham kī sardārī
Dil meñ yuuñ roz inqalāb Aae
Jal uThe bazm-e-ġhair ke dar-o-bām
Jab bhī ham ḳhānumāñ-ḳharāb Aae
Is tarah apnī ḳhāmushī gūñjī
Goyā har samt se javāb Aae
‘Faiz’ thī raah sar-ba-sar Manzil
Ham jahāñ pahuñche kāmyāb Aae……
