Faiz Ahmed Faiz Poetry

Wo buton nay dalay waswasy k dilon say khof khuda gya
wo pary hain roz qayamten k khyal roz jaza gya

Aj un ki nazar main kuch ham nay
sab ki nazren bacha kay dekh lia

Aye to yun k jesy hamesha thay mehrban
bhoolay to yun k goya kabhi ashna na thay

Bhoolay say muskura to diye thay wo aj faiz
mat poch walwaly dil nakrda kar k

Ishq dil main rahay to ruswa ho
lab p aye to raz ho jaye

Jahan dil main kam aty hain tadbeeren na tazeren
yahan peman tasleem o raza aisay nahi hota

Gar bazi ishq ki bazi hy jo chaho laga do dar kesa
gar jeet gaye to kia kehna, haray bhi to bazi mat nahi

Tery umeed tera intazar hy jab say
na shab ko din say shikayat, na din ko shab say hy

Tery jamal say har subha par wazoo lazim
har aik shab tery dar par sajood ki paband

Sitm sikhlaey ga rasm e wafa aisay nahy hota
sanam dikhlayen gay rah e khuda aisa nahy hota
