kab tak dil kii Khair manaayen, kab tak raah dikhaaoge - faiz ahmed faiz

kab tak dil kii Khair manaayen, kab tak raah dikhaaoge

kab tak chain kii mohalat doge, kab tak yaad na aaoge

biitaa diid ummiid kaa mausam, Khaak udatii hai aankhon men

kab bhejoge dard kaa baadal, kab barkhaa barasaaoge

ahad-e-vafaa aur tark-e-muhabbat jo chaaho so aap karo

apane bas kii baat hii kyaa hai, hamase kyaa manavaaoge

kisane vasl kaa suuraj dekhaa, kis par hijr kii raat dhalii

gesuon vaale kaun the, kyaa the, un ko kyaa jatalaaoge

'Faiz' dilon ke bhaag men hai ghar basanaa bhii lut jaanaa bhii

tum us husn ke lutf-o-karam par kitane din itaraaoge
