dildar dekhna

Faiz Ahmad Faiz

tufan ba-dil hai har koi dildar dekhna

gul ho na jaae mishal-e-rukhsar dekhna

atish ba-jan hai har koi sarkar dekhna

lau de uthe na turra-e-tarrar dekhna

jazb-e-musafiran-e-rah-e-yar dekhna

sar dekhna, na sang, na divar dekhna

ku-e-jafa men qaht-e-kharidar dekhna

ham aa gae to garmi-e-bazar dekhna

us dil-navaz shahr ke atvar dekhna

be iltifat bolna, bezar dekhna

khali hain garche masnad o mimbar, nigun hai khalq

roab-e-qaba o haibat-e-dastar dekhna

jab tak nasib tha tira didar dekhna

jis samt dekhna, gul-o-gulzar dekhna

phir ham tamiz-e-roz-o-mah-o-sal kar saken

ai yad-e-yar phir idhar ik baar dekhna
