ye daag daag ujaalaa, ye shabgaziidaa sahar - faiz ahmed faiz

ye daag daag ujaalaa, ye shabgaziidaa sahar

wo intazaar thaa jis kaa, ye wo sahar to nahiin

ye wo sahar to nahiin jis kii aarazuu lekar

chale the yaar ki mil jaayegii kahiin na kahiin

falak ke dasht men taron kii aaKharii manzil

kahiin to hogaa shab-e-sust mauj kaa saahil

kahiin to jaa ke rukegaa safinaa-e-gam-e-dil

jawaan lahuu kii pur-asaraar shaaharaahon se

chale jo yaar to daaman pe kitane haath pade

dayaar-e-husn kii be-sabr Khwaab-gaahon se

pukaratii rahiin baahen, badan bulaate rahe

bahut aziiz thii lekin ruKh-e-sahar kii lagan

bahut qariin thaa hasiinaan-e-nuur kaa daaman

subuk subuk thii tamannaa, dabii dabii thii thakan

sunaa hai ho bhii chukaa hai firaq-e-zulmat-e-nuur

sunaa hai ho bhii chukaa hai wisaal-e-manzil-o-gaam

badal chukaa hai bahut ahl-e-dard kaa dastuur

nishaat-e-wasl halaal-o-azaab-e-hijr-e-haraam

jigar kii aag, nazar kii umang, dil kii jalan

kisii pe chaaraa-e-hijraan kaa kuchh asar hii nahiin

kahaan se aaii nigaar-e-sabaa, kidhar ko gaii

abhii chiraag-e-sar-e-rah ko kuchh Khabar hii nahiin

abhii garaani-e-shab men kamii nahiin aaii

najaat-e-diida-o-dil kii ghadii nahiin aaii

chale chalo ki wo manzil abhii nahiin aaii
