koi tasawwur mein jalwa-gar hai bahaar dil mein sama rahi hai

koī tasavvur meñ jalva-gar hai bahār dil meñ samā rahī hai

nafas nafas gungunā rahā hai nazar nazar muskurā rahī hai

jhukī jhukī sī nigāh-e-qātil hazār ġhamze dikhā rahī hai

na jaane jaagā hai baḳht kis kā ye kis ko bismil banā rahī hai

nahīñ hai ab tāb-e-zabt baaqī kahīñ maiñ tauba na toḌ baiThūñ

tirā ishāra nahīñ ye saaqī to kyuuñ ghaTā muskurā rahī hai

na pūchh hālat marīz-e-ġham kī ghaḌī meñ kuchh hai ghaḌī meñ kuchh hai

tabīb tashvīsh meñ paḌā hai qazā khaḌī muskurā rahī hai

mirī shab-e-ġham kā pūchhnā kyā ajiib pesh-e-nazar hai manzar

ye zindagī jhilmilā rahī hai ki niiñd tāroñ ko aa rahī hai

ye har adā pā.emāl ho kar bhī dil ko hai zauq-e-pā.emālī

qadam qadam par tirī javānī ajiib fitne jagā rahī hai

havā kuchh aisī chalī hai 'faizī' tamīz apnoñ kī ab hai mushkil

mirī tamannā bhī kuchh ḳhafā hai vafā bhī dāman chhuḌā rahī hai

koi tasawwur mein jalwa-gar hai bahaar dil mein sama rahi hai

nafas nafas gunguna raha hai nazar nazar muskura rahi hai

jhuki jhuki si nigah-e-qatil hazar ghamze dikha rahi hai

na jaane jaga hai baKHt kis ka ye kis ko bismil bana rahi hai

nahin hai ab tab-e-zabt baqi kahin main tauba na toD baiThun

tera ishaara nahin ye saqi to kyun ghaTa muskura rahi hai

na puchh haalat mariz-e-gham ki ghaDi mein kuchh hai ghaDi mein kuchh hai

tabib tashwish mein paDa hai qaza khaDi muskura rahi hai

meri shab-e-gham ka puchhna kya ajib pesh-e-nazar hai manzar

ye zindagi jhilmila rahi hai ki nind taron ko aa rahi hai

ye har ada paemal ho kar bhi dil ko hai zauq-e-paemali

qadam qadam par teri jawani ajib fitne jaga rahi hai

hawa kuchh aisi chali hai 'faizi' tamiz apnon ki ab hai mushkil

meri tamanna bhi kuchh KHafa hai wafa bhi daman chhuDa rahi hai
