minnat-e-chaara-saaz kaun kare — Faiz Ahmad Faiz

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

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

har sadaa par lage hain kaan yahaan
dil sambhaale raho zabaan ki tarah

ai zulm ke maato lab kholo chup rahne vaalo chup kab tak
kuchh hashr to un se uTThegaa kuchh duur to naale jaaeinge

chaman pe ghaarat-e-gul-chin se jaane kyaa guzri
qafas se aaj sabaa be-qaraar guzri hai

na jaane kis liye ummid-vaar baiThaa huun
ik aisi raah pe jo teri rahguzar bhi nahin

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

baat jab hai gham ke maaron ko jilaa de ai 'shakil'
tu ye zinda mayyatein miTTi mein daab aayaa to kyaa

yahi kamra thaa jis mein chain se ham ji rahe the
ye tanhaai to itni be-muravvat ab hui hai
