har sadaa par lage hain kaan yahaan — Faiz Ahmad Faiz

na gul khile hain na un se mile na mai pi hai
ajiib rang mein ab ke bahaar guzri hai

aae kuchh abr kuchh sharaab aae
is ke baa'd aae jo azaab aae

aae to yuun ki jaise hamesha the mehrbaan
bhule to yuun ki goyaa kabhi aashnaa na the

raat yuun dil mein tiri khoi hui yaad aai
jaise viraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaae

khair dozakh mein mai mile na mile
shaikh-saahab se jaan to chhuTegi

chang o nai rang pe the apne lahu ke dam se
dil ne lai badli to maddham huaa har saaz kaa rang

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin
