    Interesting Fact

    Written at Jinnah hospital Karachi in 1953

    shām-e-firāq ab na pūchh aa.ī aur aa ke Tal ga.ī

    dil thā ki phir bahal gayā jaañ thī ki phir sambhal ga.ī

    Query not my lonely night it came and went away

    The heart was consoled and life managed not to fray

    bazm-e-ḳhayāl meñ tire husn sham.a jal ga.ī

    dard chāñd bujh gayā hijr raat Dhal ga.ī

    In the parlour of my thoughts your beauty's lamp was lit

    The moon of pain vanished again, the night of parting quit

    jab tujhe yaad kar liyā sub.h mahak mahak uThī

    jab tirā ġham jagā liyā raat machal machal ga.ī

    When your thoughts arose, fragrant was the morn

    When your sorrow's woke, the night was all forlorn

    dil se to har mo.āmla kar ke chale the saaf ham

    kahne meñ un ke sāmne baat badal badal ga.ī

    I ventured forth with all my thoughts properly arranged

    In her presence when I spoke, the meaning had all changed

    āḳhir-e-shab ke ham-safar 'faiz' na jaane kyā hue

    rah ga.ī kis jagah sabā sub.h kidhar nikal ga.ī

    Where the night's companions went I do not know

    Where did the breeze vanish where did the morning go

    sham-e-firaq ab na puchh aai aur aa ke Tal gai

    dil tha ki phir bahal gaya jaan thi ki phir sambhal gai

    Query not my lonely night it came and went away

    The heart was consoled and life managed not to fray

    bazm-e-KHayal mein tere husn ki shama jal gai

    dard ka chand bujh gaya hijr ki raat Dhal gai

    In the parlour of my thoughts your beauty's lamp was lit

    The moon of pain vanished again, the night of parting quit

    jab tujhe yaad kar liya subh mahak mahak uThi

    jab tera gham jaga liya raat machal machal gai

    When your thoughts arose, fragrant was the morn

    When your sorrow's woke, the night was all forlorn

    dil se to har moamla kar ke chale the saf hum

    kahne mein un ke samne baat badal badal gai

    I ventured forth with all my thoughts properly arranged

    In her presence when I spoke, the meaning had all changed

    aaKHir-e-shab ke ham-safar 'faiz' na jaane kya hue

    rah gai kis jagah saba subh kidhar nikal gai

    Where the night's companions went I do not know

    Where did the breeze vanish where did the morning go
