nisaar main terii galiyon ke ae watan, ki jahaan - faiz ahmed faiz

nisaar main terii galiyon ke ae watan, ki jahaan

chalii hai rasm ki koii na sar uthaa ke chale

jo koii chaahanewaalaa tawaaf ko nikale

nazar churaa ke chale, jism-o-jaan bachaa ke chale

hai ahl-e-dil ke liye ab ye nazm-e-bast-o-kushaad

ki sang-o-Khisht muqayyad hain aur sag aazaad

bahot hain zulm ke dast-e-bahaanaa-juu ke liye

jo chand ahl-e-junuun tere naam levaa hain

bane hain ahl-e-hawas muddaii bhii, munsif bhii

kise wakiil karen, kis se munsifii chaahen

magar guzaranewaalon ke din guzarate hain

tere firaaq men yuun subh-o-shaam karate hain

bujhaa jo rauzan-e-zindaan to dil ye samajhaa hai

ki terii maang sitaaron se bhar gaii hogii

chamak uthe hain salaasil to hamane jaanaa hai

ki ab sahar tere ruKh par bikhar gaii hogii

garaz tasavvur-e-shaam-o-sahar men jiite hain

giraft-e-saayaa-e-diwaar-o-dar men jiite hain

yuun hii hameshaa ulajhatii rahii hai zulm se Khalq

na unakii rasm naii hai, na apanii riit naii

yuun hii hameshaa khilaaye hain hamane aag men phuul

na unakii haar naii hai na apanii jiit naii

isii sabab se falak kaa gilaa nahiin karate

tere firaaq men ham dil buraa nahiin karate

gar aaj tujhase judaa hain to kal baham honge

ye raat bhar kii judaaii to koii baat nahiin

gar aaj auj pe hai taala-e-raqiib to kyaa

ye chaar din kii Khudaaii to koii baat nahiin

jo tujhase ahd-e-wafaa ustavaar rakhate hain

ilaaj-e-gardish-e-lail-o-nihaar rakhate hain
