abr kaa saaya o sabza raah kaa — Faez Dehlvi

gul kuun ai shokh mukh tanik dikhlaa
ki khizaan kar dikhaa de us kuun bahaar

jo kahiye us ke haq mein kam hai be-shak
pari hai huur hai ruh-ul-amin hai

tujh badan par jo laal saari hai
aql us ne miri bisaari hai

tujh ko hai ham se judaai aarzu
mere dil mein shauq hai didaar kaa

mujh ko auron se kuchh nahin hai kaam
tujh se har dam umid-vaari hai

vahi qadr 'faaez' ki jaane bahut
jise ishq kaa zakhm kaari lage

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

din kaTaa fariyaad se aur raat zaari se kaTi
umr kaTne ko kaTi par kitni khvaari se kaTi

aaj us ne hans ke yuun puchhaa mizaaj
umr bhar ke ranj-o-gham yaad aa gae

use ziyaada zarurat thi ghar basaane ki
vo aa ke mere dar-o-baam le gayaa mujh se

'farhat' tire naghmon ki vo shohrat hai jahaan mein
vallaah tiraa rang-e-sukhan yaad rahegaa

pukaaraa jab mujhe tanhaai ne to yaad aayaa
ki apne saath bahut mukhtasar rahaa huun main
