tere gam ko jaan kii talaash thii - faiz ahmed faiz

tere gam ko jaan kii talaash thii tere jaan-nisaar chale gaye

terii raah men karate the sar talab sar-e-raah-guzar chale gaye

terii kaj-adaaii se haar ke shab-e-intazaar chalii gaii

mere zabt-e-haal se ruuth kar mere gam-gusaar chale gaye

na savaal-e-vasl na arz-e-gam na hikaayaten na shikaayaten

tere ahad men dil-e-zaar ke sabhii iKhtiyaar chale gaye

ye hamiin the jin ke libaas par sr-e-raah siyaahii likhii gaii

yahii daag the jo sajaa ke ham sar-e-bazm-eyaar chale gaye

na rahaa junuun-e-ruKh-e-vafaa ye rasan ye daar karoge kyaa

jinhen jurm-e-ishq pe naaz thaa vo gunaahagaar chale gaye
