kisi ki yaad thi warna kisi ke pas hi kya tha
kisī kī yaad thī varna kisī ke paas hī kyā thā
sivā ummīd ke bechārgī ke paas hī kyā thā
tamanna thī vafā thī dard-o-ġham the yās-o-hirmāñ the
kahā kis ne hamārī āshiqī ke paas hī kyā thā
zamāne kī tag-o-dau ne use bhī ḳhatm kar Daalā
ba-juz insāniyat ke aadmī ke paas hī kyā thā
junūñ kī rahbarī ne laaj rakh lī rāh-e-hastī meñ
haqīqat meñ hamārī zindagī ke paas hī kyā thā
kahāñ baaqī rahī vo bhī sabā ke gudgudāne se
hayā ke mā-sivā nāzuk kalī ke paas hī kyā thā
use manzil pe pahuñchāyā havādis ke thapeḌoñ ne
nahīñ to is shikasta zindagī ke paas hī kyā thā
ġham-o-ālām ne 'faizī' tujhe me.arāj baḳhshī hai
jahān-e-ārzū meñ bekasī ke paas hī kyā thā
kisi ki yaad thi warna kisi ke pas hi kya tha
siwa ummid ke bechaargi ke pas hi kya tha
tamanna thi wafa thi dard-o-gham the yas-o-hirman the
kaha kis ne hamari aashiqi ke pas hi kya tha
zamane ki tag-o-dau ne use bhi KHatm kar Dala
ba-juz insaniyat ke aadmi ke pas hi kya tha
junun ki rahbari ne laj rakh li rah-e-hasti mein
haqiqat mein hamari zindagi ke pas hi kya tha
kahan baqi rahi wo bhi saba ke gudgudane se
haya ke ma-siwa nazuk kali ke pas hi kya tha
use manzil pe pahunchaya hawadis ke thapeDon ne
nahin to is shikasta zindagi ke pas hi kya tha
gham-o-alam ne 'faizi' tujhe mearaj baKHshi hai
jahan-e-arzu mein bekasi ke pas hi kya tha
