Faiz Ahmad Faiz
na kisi pe zakhm ayaan koi na kisi ko fikr rafu ki hai
na karam hai ham pe habib ka na nigah ham pe adu ki hai
saf-e-zahidan hai to be-yaqin saf-e-mai-kashan hai to be-talab
na vo subh vird-o-vazu ki hai na vo shaam jam-o-subu ki hai
na ye gham naya na sitam naya ki tiri jafa ka gila karen
ye nazar thi pahle bhi muztarib ye kasak to dil men kabhu ki hai
kaf-e-baghban pe bahar-e-gul ka hai qarz pahle se besh-tar
ki har ek phuul ke pairahan men numud mere lahu ki hai
nahin khauf-e-roz-e-siyah hamen ki hai ‘faiz’ zarf-e-nigah men
abhi gosha-gir vo ik kiran jo lagan us aina-ru ki hai
