vo butoñ ne Daale haiñ vasvase ki diloñ se ḳhauf-e-ḳhudā gayā — Faiz Ahmad Faiz

dil nā-umīd to nahīñ nākām hī to hai
lambī hai ġham kī shaam magar shaam hī to hai

kab Thahregā dard ai dil kab raat basar hogī
sunte the vo ā.eñge sunte the sahar hogī

jo nafas thā ḳhār-e-gulū banā jo uThe the haath lahū hue
vo nashāt-e-āh-e-sahr ga.ī vo vaqār-e-dast-e-duā gayā

duniyā ne terī yaad se begāna kar diyā
tujh se bhī dil-fareb haiñ ġham rozgār ke

jo talab pe ahd-e-vafā kiyā to vo ābrū-e-vafā ga.ī
sar-e-ām jab hue mudda.ī to savāb-e-sidq-o-vafā gayā

na jaane kis liye ummīd-vār baiThā huuñ
ik aisī raah pe jo terī rahguzar bhī nahīñ

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana

ranjish hī sahī dil hī dukhāne ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe chhoḌ ke jaane ke liye aa

maiñ bhī ruk ruk ke na martā jo zabāñ ke badle
dashna ik tez sā hotā mire ġham-ḳhvār ke paas

dost-dār-e-dushman hai e'timād-e-dil ma.alūm
aah be-asar dekhī naala nā-rasā paayā

andāz-e-bayāñ garche bahut shoḳh nahīñ hai
shāyad ki utar jaa.e tire dil meñ mirī baat

baḌe baḌe ġham khaḌe hue the rasta roke rāhoñ meñ
chhoTī chhoTī ḳhushiyoñ se hī ham ne dil ko shaad kiyā
