Raushan kaheeN bahaar ke imkaaN hue to haiN

Raushan kaheeN bahaar ke imkaaN hue to haiN
Gulshan mein chaak chand garebaaN hue to haiN

Ab bhi khizaan ka raaj hai lekin kaheen kaheen,
Gosh E rah E chaman mein ghazal-khaaN hue to haiN

Thahri huii hai shab ki siyaahi vaheeN magar
Kuchh kuchh sahar ke rang purafshaaN hue to haiN

In mein lahu jalaa ho hamara K jaan O dil
Mehfil mein kuch chiraagh farozaaN hue to haiN

Haan kaj karo kulaah K sab kuch luta ke hum
Ab be-niyaaz E gardish E dauraaN hue to haiN

Ahl E qafas ki subah E chaman mein khulegi aankh
Baad E sabaa se vada O paimaaN hue to haiN

Hai dasht ab bhi dasht magar, khoon E pa se ‘Faiz’
Sairaab chand khaar E mugelaaN hue to haiN
