zulm ki rah mein diwar hua karte the
zulm kī raah meñ dīvār huā karte the
ham kabhī azm ke kohsār huā karte the
shahr sunsān hai un chāñd se chehroñ ke baġhair
jo darīchoñ se numūdār huā karte the
mujh se mil kar haiñ ajab ālam-e-hairānī meñ
jo mire fan ke parastār huā karte the
zindagī kis qadar āsān huā kartī thī
log jab sāhab-e-kirdār huā karte the
us kī zulfoñ meñ chamakte the sitāre har pal
har ghaḌī raat ke āsār huā karte the
ab vahāñ fasl imārāt kī ug aa.ī hai
jab jagah par ghane ashjār huā karte the
terī palkoñ ke ishāre ko samajh jaate the
ham kabhī itne samajhdār huā karte the
terī tasvīr nigāhoñ meñ sajī rahtī thī
ham to sote meñ bhī bedār huā karte the
tujh ko ab yaad nahīñ hai ki tirī ḳhātir ham
kaise rusvā sar-e-bāzār huā karte the
jaane kis haal meñ hogī vo mirī jān-e-hayāt
jis kī ḳhātir mire ash.ār huā karte the
jā chuke ab vo zamāne ki mire shahr ke log
ishq meñ tere giraftār huā karte the
be-ḳhabar ho ke zamāne ke har ik kaam se ham
tere baare meñ ḳhabar-dār huā karte the
ab use paane kī ḳhvāhish bhī nahīñ hai 'faizān'
ham kabhī jis ke talabgār huā karte the
zulm ki rah mein diwar hua karte the
hum kabhi azm ke kohsar hua karte the
shahr sunsan hai un chand se chehron ke baghair
jo darichon se numudar hua karte the
mujh se mil kar hain ajab aalam-e-hairani mein
jo mere fan ke parastar hua karte the
zindagi kis qadar aasan hua karti thi
log jab sahab-e-kirdar hua karte the
us ki zulfon mein chamakte the sitare har pal
har ghaDi raat ke aasar hua karte the
ab wahan fasl imaraat ki ug aai hai
jab jagah par ghane ashjar hua karte the
teri palkon ke ishaare ko samajh jate the
hum kabhi itne samajhdar hua karte the
teri taswir nigahon mein saji rahti thi
hum to sote mein bhi bedar hua karte the
tujh ko ab yaad nahin hai ki teri KHatir hum
kaise ruswa sar-e-bazar hua karte the
jaane kis haal mein hogi wo meri jaan-e-hayat
jis ki KHatir mere ashaar hua karte the
ja chuke ab wo zamane ki mere shahr ke log
ishq mein tere giraftar hua karte the
be-KHabar ho ke zamane ke har ek kaam se hum
tere bare mein KHabar-dar hua karte the
ab use pane ki KHwahish bhi nahin hai 'faizan'
hum kabhi jis ke talabgar hua karte the
