Best Poems Of Faiz Ahmad Faiz
Speak
Speak, your lips are free
Speak, it is your own tongue
Speak, it is your own body
Speak, your life is still yours
See how in the blacksmith's shop
The flame burns wild, the iron glows red
The locks open their jaws
And every chain begins to break
Speak, this brief hour is long enough
Before the death of body and tongue
Speak, 'cause the truth is not dead yet
Speak, speak, whatever you must speak___!!
Stanza
If they snatch my ink and pen
I should not complain
For I have dipped my fingers
In the blood of my heart
I should not complain
Even if they seal my tongue
For every ring of my chain
Is a tongue ready to speak____!!
The Incarceration Of Loneliness
On the far horizon waved some flicker of light
My heart, a city of suffering, awoke in a state of dream
My eyes, turning restless, still dreaming,
The morning, dawning in this vacuous abode of separation
In the wine-cup of my heart, I poured my morning wine
Mixing in the bitterness of the past, the poison of the present
On the far horizon waved some flicker of light
far from the eye, a precursor to some morning
Some song, some scent, some unbelievably pretty face
went by unknowingly, carrying a distressful hope
Mixing in the bitterness of the past, the poison of the present
I proposed a toast to the longings on this day of prison-visit
To the fellow drinkers of my homeland and beyond
To the beauty of the worlds, the grace of beloved's lip and cheek____!!
Tonight
Do not strike the chord of sorrow tonight
Days burning with pain turn to ashes
Who knows what happens tomorrow?
Last night is lost; tomorrow's frontier wiped out
Who knows if there will be another dawn?
Life is nothing, it's only tonight
Tonight we can be what the gods are
Do not strike the chord of sorrow, tonight
Do not repeat stories of sufferings now
Do not complain, let your fate play its role
Do not think of tomorrows, give a damn
Shed no tears for seasons gone by
All sighs and cries wind up their tales
Oh, do not strike the same chord again_____!!
Wasteland of Solitude
In the wasteland of solitude, my love, quiver
Shadows of your voice, illusions of your lips
In the wasteland of solitude, from the dusts of parting
Sprout jasmines and roses of your presence
From somewhere close by, rises the warmth of your breath
And in its own aroma smolders, slowly, bit by bit
Far-off, across the horizon, dropp by glistening drop
Falls the dew of your beguiling glance
With such overwhelming love, O my love
Your memory has placed its hand on my heart's cheek
That it looks as if (though it's still the dawn of the adieu)
The sun of parting has set; the night of union has come_____!!
We Shall See
We shall see
Certainly we, too, shall see
That day that has been promised to us
When these high mountains
Of tyranny and oppression
Turn to fluff and evaporate
And we oppressed
Beneath our feet will have
This earth shiver, shake and beat
And heads of rulers will be struck
With crackling lightening
and thunder roars.
When from this God's earth's (Kaa'ba)
All falseness (icons) will be removed
Then we of clean hearts-condemned by Zealots those keepers of
Faith,
We, will be invited to that altar to sit and Govern-
When crowns will be thrown off- and over turned will be thrones
We shall see
Certainly we, too, shall see
That day that has been promised to us
The God's name will remain (Allah will remain)
Who is invisible and visible too
Who is the seer and is seen
There will rise one cheer- I am God!
Who I am too
And so are you
Then the masses, people of God will rule
Who I am too
And so are you
There will rise one cheer- I am God!
Who I am too
And so are you_____!!
We Who Were Executed
I longed for your lips, dreamed of their roses
I was hanged from the dry branch of the scaffold
I wanted to touch your hands, their silver light
I was murdered in the half-light of dim lanes
And there where you were crucified
So far away from my words
You still were beautiful
Color kept clinging to your lips
Rapture was still vivid in your hair
Light remained silvering in your hands
When the night of cruelty merged with the roads you had taked
I came as far as my feet could bring me,
On my lips the phrase of a song,
My heart lit up only by sorrow
This sorrow was my testimony to your beauty
Look! I remained a witness till the end
I who was killed in the darkest lanes_____!!
It’s true– that not to reach you was fate–
But who’ll deny that to love you
Was entirely in my hands?
So why complain if these matters of desire
Brought me inevitably to the execution grounds?
Why complain? Holding up our sorrows as banners
New lovers will emerge
From the lanes where we were killed
And embark, in caravans, on those highways of desire.
It’s because of them that we shortened the distances of sorrow
It’s because of them that we went out to make the world our own
We who were murdered in the darkest lanes________!!
When Autumn Came
This is the way that autumn came to the trees
It stripped them down to the skin
Left their ebony bodies naked
It shook out their hearts, the yellow leaves
Scattered them over the ground
Anyone could trample them out of shape
Undisturbed by a single moan of protest
The birds that herald dreams
Were exiled from their song
Each voice torn out of its throat
They dropped into the dust
Even before the hunter strung his bow
Oh, God of May have mercy
Bless these withered bodies
With the passion of your resurrection
Make their dead veins flow with blood again
Give some tree the gift of green again
Let one bird sing_____!!
Faiz Ahmad Faiz Poem
A Prison Evening
Each star a rung
Night comes down the spiral
Staircase of the evening
The breeze passes by so very close
As if someone just happened to speak of love
In the courtyard
The trees are absorbed refugees
Embroidering maps of return on the sky
On the roof
The moon - lovingly, generously
Is turning the stars
Into a dust of sheen
From every corner, dark-green shadows
In ripples, come towards me
At any moment they may break over me
Like the waves of pain each time I remember
This separation from my lover
This thought keeps consoling me
Though tyrants may command that lamps be smashed
In rooms where lovers are destined to meet
They cannot snuff out the moon, so today
Nor tomorrow, no tyranny will succeed
No poison of torture make me bitter
If just one evening in prison
Can be so strangely sweet
If just one moment anywhere on this earth___!!
Before You Came
Before you came things were just what they were
The road precisely a road, the horizon fixed
The limit of what could be seen
A glass of wine was no more than a glass of wine
With you the world took on the spectrum
Radiating from my heart: your eyes gold
As they open to me, slate the color
That falls each time I lost all hope
With your advent roses burst into flame
You were the artist of dried-up leaves, sorceress
Who flicked her wrist to change dust into soot
You lacquered the night black
As for the sky, the road, the cup of wine
One was my tear-drenched shirt
The other an aching nerve
The third a mirror that never reflected the same thing
Now you are here again—stay with me
This time things will fall into place
The road can be the road
The sky nothing but sky
The glass of wine, as it should be, the glass of wine___!!
Do Not Ask My Love
Do not ask, my love, for the love we had before:
You existed, I told myself, so all existence shone
Grief for me was you; the world’s grief was far
Spring was ever renewed in your face
Beyond your eyes, what could the world hold?
Had I won you, Fate’s head would hang, defeated
Yet all this was not so, I merely wished it so
The world knows sorrows other than those of love
Pleasures beyond those of romance
The dread dark spell of countless centuries
Woven with silk and satin and gold braocade
Bodies sold everywhere, in streets and markets
Besmeared with dirt, bathed in blood
Crawling from infested ovens
My gaze returns to these: what can I do?
Your beauty still haunts me: what can I do?
The world is burdened by sorrows beyond love
By pleasures beyond romance
Do not demand that love which can be no more___!!
Ghazal
I am being accused of loving you, that is all
It is not an insult, but a praise, that is all
My heart is pleased at the words of the accusers
O my dearest dear, they say your name, that is all
For what I am ridiculed, it is not a crime
My heart's useless playtime, a failed love, that is all
I haven't lost hope, but just a fight, that is all
The night of suffering lengthens, but just a night, that is all
In the hand of time is not the rolling of my fate
In the hand of time roll just the days, that is all
A day will come for sure when I will see the truth
My beautiful beloved is behind a veil, that is all
The night is young, Faiz start saying a Ghazal
A storm of emotions is raging inside, that is all_______!!
Highway
A despondent highway is stretched
Its eyes set on the far horizon
On the cold dirt of its bosom
Its grayish beauty spread
As if some saddened woman
In her lonely abode, lost in thought
In contemplation of union with her Beloved
Every pore sore, limbs limp with exhaustion_____!!
It Is Spring Again
It is spring, And the ledger is opened again
From the abyss where they were frozen
Those days suddenly return, those days
That passed away from your lips, that died
With all our kisses, unaccounted
The roses return: they are your fragrance
They are the blood of your lovers
Sorrow returns. I go through my pain
And the agony of friends still lost in the memory
Of moon-silver arms, the caresses of vanished women
I go through page after page. There are no answers
And spring has come once again asking
The same questions, reopening account after account_____!!
Last Night
Last night, your long-lost memory came back to me as though
Spring stealthily should come to a forsaken wilderness
A gentle breeze its fragrance over burning deserts blow
Or, all at once be soothed somehow the sick soul’s distress____!!
Loneliness
Loneliness like a good, old friend
Visits my house to pour wine in the evening.
And we sit together, waiting for the moon,
And for your face to sparkle in every shadow_______!!
My Heart My Traveler
My heart, my fellow traveler
It has been decreed again
That you and I be exiled
Go calling out in every street
Turn to every town
To search for a clue
Of a messenger from our Beloved
To ask every stranger
The way back to our home
In this town of unfamiliar folk
We drudge the day into the night
Talk to this stranger at times
To that one at others
How can I convey to you, my friend
how horrible is a night of lonliness
It would suffice to me
If there were just some count
I would gladly welcome death
If it were to come but once____!!
My Interview
The wall has grown all black, upto the circling roof.
Roads are empty, travellers all gone. Once again
My night begins to converse with its loneliness
My visitor I feel has come once again
Henna stains one palm, blood wets another
One eye poisons, the other cures
None leaves or enters my heart's lodging
Loneliness leaves the flower of pain unwatered
Who is there to fill the cup of its wound with color?
My visitor I feel has come once again
Of her own will, my old friend-her name
Is Death: a friend in need, yet an enemy
The murderess and the sweetheart____!!
Solitude
Is someone there, oh weeping heart? No, no one there
Perhaps a traveler, but he will be on his way
The night is spent, the dust of stars begins to scatter
In the assembly halls dream-filled lamps begin to waver
Small streets sleep waiting by the thoroughfare
Strange earth beclouds footprints of yesterday
Snuff out the candles, put away wine-cup and flask
Then lock your eyelids in this morning dusk
For now there's no one, no one who will come here_______!!
Some Lover To Some Beloved
Down the memory lanes, on which
you've strolled since ages past
They will end if you walk farther a step or two
Where exits the turn towards the wilderness of forgetfulness
beyond which, there isn't any Me, nor any You
My eyes hold their breath, for any moment you
may turn back, move ahead, or at least turn to look back
Although my sight knows that the wish is just a farce
For if ever it were to run across your eyes again
right there will spring forth another pathway
Like always, where ever we run into, there will begin
another journey of your lock's shadow, your embrace's tremor
The other wish is also in error, for my heart knows
There is no turn here, no wilderness, no mountain-range
beyond whose horizon, my perpetual sun-of-your-Love can set
May you continue walking these pathways, its better this way
If you don't even turn to look back, it is okay_________!!
Faiz Ahmad Faiz Poetry
Sach Hai Hameen Ko Aap Ke Shikway Bajaa Na Thay
Sach Hai Hameen Ko Aap Ke Shikway Bajaa Na Thay
Be-Shak Sitam Janaab Ke Sab Dostaana Thay
Haan Jo Jafaa Bhi Aap Ne Ki, Qaaiday Se Ki
Haan Ham Hee Kaar Band-e-Asool-e-Wafa Na Thay
Aaye Tou Yun Ke Jaisay Hamesha Thay Meherbaan
Bhoolay Tou Yun Ke Goya Kabhi Aashna Na Thay
Kyun Daad-e-Gham Ham Ne Talab Ki, Buraa Kiya
Ham Se JahaaN Mein Kushta-e-Gham Aur Kya Na Thay
Gar Fikr-e-zaKhm Ki Tou Khataavaar Hain Ke Ham
Kyun Mahv-e-Madh-e-Khuubi-e-Teg-e-Adaa Na Thay
Har Chaarahgar Ko Chaarahgari Se Guraiz Tha
Warna Hamain Jo Dukh Thay, Bohat La-Dawaa Na Thay
Lab Per Hai Talkhi-e-Mey-e-Ayaam, Warna “Faiz”
Ham Talkhi-e-Kalaam Pe Maail Zaraa Na Thay____!!
Raaz-E-Ulfat Chhupa Ke Dekh Lia
Raaz-E-Ulfat Chhupa Ke Dekh Lia
Dil Bohat Kuch Jalaa Ke Dekh Lia
Aur Kia Dekhnay Ko Baaki Hai ?
Aap Se Dil Lagaa Ke Dekh Lia
Wo Mere Ho Ke Bhi Mere Na Howay
Un Ko Apna Banaa Ke Dekh Lia
Aaj Unki Nazar Mein Kuch Ham Ne
Sab Ki Nazrain Bacha Ke Dekh Lia
“Faiz” Takmeel-e-Gham Bhi Na Ho Saki
Ishq Ko Aazmaa Ke Dekh Lia_____!!
Ham Parwarish-E-Loh-o-Qalam Kartay Rahain Gey
Ham Parwarish-e-Loh-o-Qalam Kartay Rahain Ge
Jo Dil Pe Guzarti Hai, Raqam Kartay Rahain Ge
Asbaab-e-Gham-e-Ishq Behem Kartay Rahain Ge
Veeraani-e-Dauraan Pe Qaram Kartay Rahain Ge
Haan Talkhi-e-Ayyaam Abhee Aur Barhay Gi
Haan Ahl-e-Sitam, Mashq-e-Sitam Kartay Rahain Ge
Manzoor Ye Talkhi, Ye Sitam Ham Ko Ganwaara
Dam Hai Tou Madawaa-e-Alam Kartay Rahain Ge
Mey Khaana Salaamat Hai, Tou Ham Surkhi Mey Se
Tazeen-e-Dar-o-Baam-e-Haram Kartay Rahain Ge
Baaqi Hai Lahuu Dil Mein Tou Har Ashq Se Paida
Rung-e-Lab-o-Rukhsaar-e-Sanam Kartay Rahain Ge
Ik Tarz-e-Taghaaful Hai So Wo Un Ko Mubaarak
Ik Arz-e-Tamanna Hai So Ham Kartay Rahain Gey____!!
Pindaar K Khogar Ko Naqaam Bhi Dekho Gey
Pindaar Ke Khogar Ko Naqaam Bhi Dekho Ge?
Aaghaaz Se Waaqif Ho Anjaam Bhi Dekho Ge?
Rungini-o-Duniya Se Mayoos Sa Ho Jana
Dukhta Howa Dil Le Kar Tanhaayi Mein Kho Jaana
Tarsi Howi Nazron Ko Hasrat Se Jhuka Lena
Faryaad Ke Tukron Ko Aahon Mein Chhupa Lena
Raaton Ki Khamooshi Mein Chhup Kar Kubhi Ro Lena
Majboor Jawaani Ke Malboos Ko Dho Lena
Jazbaat Ki Wusat Ko Sajdon Se Basaa Lena
Bhooli Howi Yaadon Ko Seenay Se Laga Lena____!!
Dono Jahan Teri Mohabbat Main Haar K
Dono Jahan Teri Mohabbat Main Haar K
Wo Ja Raha Hai Koi Shab-e-Gham Guzaar K
Viraan Hai Maikada Khum-o-Sagar Udaas Hai
Tum Kya Gaye K Rooth Gaye Din Bahaar K
Ik Fursat-e-Gunah Mili, Wo Bhi Chaar Din
Dekhe Hain Ham Ne Hausale Parvar-Digaar K
Duniya Ne Teri Yaad Se Begaana Kar Diya
Tujh Se Bhi Dil Fareb Hain Gham Rozgaar K
Bhule Se Muskura To Diye The Wo Aaj ‘Faiz’
Mat Puch Val-Vale Dil-e-Na-Kardahkaar K_____!!
Hum K Thehray Ajnabi Itni Madaraton Ke Baad
Hum Ke Thehray Ajnabi Itni Madaraton Ke Baad
Phir Banain Ge Aashna Kitni Mulaqaaton Ke Baad ?
Kub Nazar Mein Aaye Gi Be-Daagh Sabzay Ki Bahaar
Khoon Ke Dhabbay Dhulain Ge Kitni Barsaaton Ke Baad ?
Thay Bohat Be-Dard Lamhay Khatam-e-Dard-e-Aashiqui Ke
Theen Bohat Be-Meher Subhain Meherbaan Raaton Ke Baad
Dil Tou Chaaha Per Shikast-e-Dil Ne Mohlat Hee Na Di
Kuch Gilay Shikway Bhi Kar Laitay Manajaaton Ke Baad
Un Se Jo Kehnay Gaye Thay “Faiz” Jaan Sadqa Kye
An Kahee Hee Reh Gayi Wo Baat Sab Baaton Ke Baad___!!
Naseeb Aazmaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain
Naseeb Aazmaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain
Qareeb Un Ke Aane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain
Jo Dil Se Kaha Hai Jo Dil Se Suna Hai
Sab Un Ko Sunane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain
Abhi Se Dil-O-Jaan Sar-E-Raah Rakh Do
Ke Lutne Lutaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain
Tapakne Lagi Un Nigaahon Se Masti
Nigahain Churaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain
Saba Phir Hamain Puuchti Phir Rahi Hai
Chaman Ko Sajaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain
Chalo “Faiz” Phir Se Kahin Dil Lagain
Suna Hai Thikaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain____!!
Hasrat-E-Deed Mein Guzraan Hain Zamaney Kab Say
Hasrat-e-deed mein guzraan hain zamaney kab se
Dasht-e-umeed mein gardaan hain dawaney kab se
Der se ankh mein utra nahin askhon ka azaab
Apne zimey hain tera farz najaney kab se
Kis tarah paak ho be-arzu lamhon ka azaab
Dard aya nahin darbaar sjanaey kab se
Sar Karo saaz ke cherrein koi dil sooz ghazal
Dhoondta hai dil-e-shoreeda bahaney kab se
Pur karo jaam ke shayed ho isi lahta rawaan
Rok rakha hai jo ik teer kazzaa ne kab se
Faiz phir kab kisi maktal mein karain ge abad
Lab pe veeran hain shaheedon ke fasaney kab se____!!
Dil Mein Ab Youn Tere Bhooley Huwey Gham Aatey Hain
Dil mein ab yun tere bhooley howey gham ate hain
Jese bichre huye kaabey mein sanam ate hain
Ek ek kar ke huye jate hain diye tarey roshan
Meri manzil ki taraf tere kadam ate hain
Raqs-e-meh tez karo, Saaz ki leh tez karo
Suye meh-khana safeeran-e-haram ate hain
Kuch humain tou nahin ehsan uthaney ka dimagh
Woh tou jab ate hain mayel be-karam ate hain
Aur kuch der na guzrey shab-e-furkat se kaho
Dil bhi kam dukhta hai, woh yaad bhi kam ate hain_____!!
Aiye Hath Uthayen Hum Bhi
Aiye hath uthayen ham bhi
Ham jinhen rasm-e-dua yad nahin
Ham jinhen soz-e-mohabbat k siwa
Koi but, koi khuda yad nahin
Aiye arz guzaren ki nigar-e-hasti
Zahar-e-imaroz main shirini-e-fardan bhar de
Wo jinhen tabe garanbari-e-ayyam nahin
Unki palkon pe shab-o-roz ko halka kar de
Jinki ankhon ko rukh-e-subh ka yara bhi nahin
Unki raton main koi shama munawwar kar de
Jin k qadamon ko kisi rah ka sahara bhi nahin
Unki nazron pe koi rah ujagar kar de
Jinka din pairavi-e-kazbo-riya hai unko
Himmat-e-kufr mile, jurat-e-tahaqiq mile
Jink sar muntazir-e-teg-e-jafa hain unko
Dast-e-qatil ko jhatak dene ki taufiq mile
Ishq ka sarr-e-nihan jan-tapan hai jis se
Aj iqrar karen aur tapish mit jaye
Harf-e-haq dil main khatakta hai jo kante ki tarah
Aj izhar karen or khalish mit jaye_____!!
Koi Sheesha O Sharab Main Mast
Koi Sheesha O Sharab Main Mast
Koi Lazat Shabab Mein Mast
Mubtla Hein Sabhi Kahin Na Kahin
Main Bhi Hon Apne Khawab Mein Mast_____!!

AMjad Islam Amjad Ghazals
Teri Zad Say Nikalana Chahata Hai
Teri zad se nikalana chahata hai
Ye dariya rukh badalana chahata hai
Wo sapana jis ke surat hi nahi hai
Meri aankhon mein chalana chahata hai
Dilon ke mandagi pe kya ta’ajjub
Ki suraj bhi to dhalana chahata hai
Nashist-e-dard badali hai to ab dil
Zara pehlu badalana chahata hai
Mujhe bhi samana hai karbala ka
Mera sar bhi uchalana chahata hai
Nahi hai tarjuman-e-gam ye aansu
Ye pani ab ubalana chahata hai
Tabassum zer-e-lab kehta hai ‘amjad’
Koi jazba machalana chahata hai____!!
Fasl-E-Gul Aayi Phir Ik Bar Asiran-E-Wafa
Fasl-e gul aayi phir ik bar asiran-e-vafa
Apney hi khun ke dariya mein nahane nikale
Hijr ki chot ajab sang-shikan hoti hai
Dil ke befaiz zaminon se khazane nikale
Umar guzari hai shab-e-tar mein aankhen malate
Kis ufaq se mera khurshid na jane nikale
Ku-e-qatil mein chale jaise shahidon ka julus
Khvab yun bhigati aankhon ko sajane nikale
Dil ne ik int se tamir kiya taj mahal
Tou ne ik bat kahi lakh fasane nikale
Dasht-e tanhai-e-hijran mein khada sochata hun
Haye kya log mera sath nibhane nikale
Main ne ‘amjad’ use bevasta dekha hi nahi
Wo to khushbu mein bhi aahat ke bahane nikale____!!
Koi Lamha Bhi Kabhi Laut Kar Nahi Aya
Koi Lamha Bhi Kabhi Laut Kar Nahi Aya
Woh Shaks Aisa Gaya Phir Nazar Nahee Aaya
Wafa Ke Dasht Main Raasta Nahi Mila Koi
Siwaye Gard-e-safar Humsafar Nahi Aya
Kisi Chiraagh Ne Poochi Nahi Khabar Meri
Koi Bhi Phool Meray Naam Par Nahi Aya
Palat Kar Anay Lagay Shaam Ke Parinday Bhi
Hamara Subha Ka Bhoola Magar Nahi Aya
Hamein Yaqeen Hai “amjad” Wo Wada Khilaaf
Yeh Umr Kaisay Kategi Agar Nahi Aya____!!
Zameen Jalti Hai Aur Aasman Toota Hai
Zameen jalti hai aur aasman tootta hai
Magar guraiz karain hum tou maan tootta hai
Koi bhikaam hoanjaam tak nahi jata
Kkisi kay dihaan main pal paldihaan tootta hai
K jaisay matan main har lafz ki hai apni jaga
Jo aik fard katay kaarwaan tootta hai
Nizad-e-subah k lashkar ki aamad aamad hai
Hisaar-e-halqa shab zadgaan tootta hai
Wafa kay shehar kay rustay ajeeb hain amjad
Har aik mar pe ik meharbaan tootta hai_______!!
Kisi Ki Ankh Jo Purnam Nahin Hai
Kisi ki ankh jo purnam nahin hai
Na samajho ye ke us ko Gam nahin hai
Savad-e-dard men tanha khada hun
Palat jaun magar mausam nahin hai
Samajh men kuch nahin ata kisi ke
Agarche guftagu mubaham nahin hai____!!
Apnay Ghar Ki Khirki Say Aasmaan Ko Dekhon Ga
Apnay Ghar Ki Khirki Say Aasmaan Ko Dekhon Ga
Jis Per Tera Naam Likha Hay Us Taaray Ko Dhundon Ga
Tum Bhi Har Shab Dia Jala Kar Palkon Ki Dehleez Pay Rakhna
Main Bhi Rooz Ak Khowab Tumhara Shaher Ki Janib Bhejon Ga
Hijar Kay Darya Main Tum Parhna Lehron K Tahreerain Bhi
Pani Ki Har Satah Pay Main Kuch Dil Ki Baatein Likhon Ga
Jis Tanha Say Pair Kay Nechay Hum Barish Main Bheegay Thay
Tum Bhi Us Ko Cho Kay Guzarna , Main Bhi Us Say Lipton Ga
Khowab Musafir Lamhon Kay Hain, Saath Kaha Tak Jaaye Gay
Tum Nay Bilkul Theek Kaha Hay, Main Bhi Ab Kuch Sochon Ga
Baadal oRh ke guzruN ga maiN tere ghar ke aangan se
Qos-e-qaza ke sab rangoN meN tujh ko bhiiga dekhuuN ga
Raat gaye jab chaand sitaare lukan miiTi kheleN ge
Aadhi neeNd ka sapna ban kar maiN bhi tum ko Chhuu luuN ga
Be mausam baarish ki suurat der talak or duur talak
Tere diyaar-e-husn pe maiN bhii kin min kin min barsuun ga
Sharm se dohra ho jaye ga kaan paRa voh bunda bhi
Bad-e-Saba ke lehje meiN ik baat maiN aisi puuChhuuN ga
Safha safha ek kitaab-e-husn si khulti jaaye gi
Aur isii ki lau meN phir maiN tum ko azbar kar luun ga
Waqt ke ik kankar ne jis ko aksoN meN taqsiim kiya
Ab-e-rawaN meN kaise Amjad ab voh chehra joRuuN ga___!!
Jo Kuch Daikha Jo Socha Hai Wohi Tehreer Kar Jayen
Jo kuch daikha jo socha hai wohi tehreer kar jaen
Jo kaaghaz apnay hissay ka hai wo kaaghaz tou bhar jaen
Nashay main neend kay taaray bhi ik doojay par girtay hain
Thakan rston ki kehti hai chalo ab apnay ghar jaen
Kuch aisi be hisi ki dhund si pheli hai ankhon main
Hamari sooratain daikhain tou aaenay bhi dar jaen
Na himmat hai ganeem-e-wakt se ankhain milanay ki
Na dil main hosla itn kay mtti main uttar jaen
Gul-e-umeed ki soorat tere baaghon main rehtay hain
Koi mousam hamain bhi dai k apni baat kar jaen
Deyaar-e-dasht main raig-e-rawan jin ko banati hai
Bata ae manzil-e-hasti k wo rstay kidhar jaen
Tou kya ae qasim-e-ashya yehi ankhon ki qismat hai
Agar khawabon se khaali hon tou pachtawon se bhar jaen
Jo bakhshish main milay amjadtou us khushbu se behtar hai
K us be faiz gulshan se bandhi muthi guzar jaen____!!
Ab K Safar Kuch Aur Tha Aur Hi Kuch Saraab Thay
Ab K Safar Kuch Aur Tha, Aur Hi Kuch Saraab Thay
Dasht-e-Talab Mein Ja-Ba-Ja, Sang-e-Giraan-e-Khuwaab Thay
Hashar K Din Ka Ghulghula Shehar K Baam-o-Dar Mein Tha
Nigle Huwe Khuwab Thay, Ugle Huwe Jawaab Thay
Ab K Baras, Bahar Ki Rut Bhi Thi Intizar Ki
Lehjon Mein Sail-e-Dard Tha, Aankhon Mein Izteraab Thay
Khuwabon K Chaand Dhal Gaye, Taaron K Dam Nikal Gaye
Pholon K Hath Jal Gaye, Kaise Ye Aftaab Thay
Sahil Ki Rehguzar Huwe, Hoont Na Phir Bhi Tar Huwe
Kesi Ajeeb Piyas Thi Kaisy Ajeeb Sahaab Thay
Umar Isi Tazaad Mein, Rizq-e-Ghubaar Ho Gai
Jism Tha Aur Azaab Thay, Aankhen Theen Aur Khuwaab Thay
Subah Huwi To Shehar K Shor Mein Youn Bikhar Gaye
Jaisay Wo Aadmi Na Thay, Naqsh-o-Nigaar-e-Aab Thay
Aankho'n Mein Khoon Bhar Gaye Rastoo'n Mein Bikhar Gaye
Aane Se Qabal Mar Gaye, Aisey Bhi Inqilaab Thay
Saath Wo Ek Raat Ka, Chashm-e-Zadan Ki Baat Tha
Phir Na Wo Iltefaat Tha, Phir Na Wo Ijtinaab Thay
Rabt Ki Baat Aur Hai, Zabt Ki Baat Aur Hai
Ye Jo Fishaar-e-Khaak Hai, Is Mein Kabhi Gulaab Thay
Abar Baras K Khul Gaye, Jee K Ghubaar Dhul Gaye
Aankh Mein Roo-Numa Huwey, Shehar Jo Zair-e-Aab Thay
Dard Ki Rehguzar Mein, Chalte To Kis Khumaar Mein
Chashm K Be-Nigaah Thi, Hoont K Be-Khitaab Thay_____!!

Koi Zanjeer Ho
Koi Zanjeer Ho
Aahan kii, chaandii kii, rivaayat kii

Zamaane kii kisii talwaar kaa lohaa nahiiN chaltaa!
Yeh aisaa shehar hai jis meiN
Kisii aamir, kisii sultaan kaa sikkaa nahiiN chalta!
Agar chashm-e-tamaashaa meiN zaraa sii bhii milaavaT ho
Yeh aaina nahiiN chaltaa!
Yeh aisii aag hai jis meiN
Badan sholoN meiN jalte haiN, to ruuheN muskuraatii haiN
Yeh voh sailaab hai jis ko
DiloN kii bastiiyaaN aavaaz de kar Khud bulaatii haiN
Yeh jab chaahe kisii bhii Khwaab ko taabiir mil jaaye
Jo manzar bhuj chuke haiN, un ko bhii tanviir mil jaaye
Dua, jo be_Thikaanaa thii, use taasiir mil jaaye
Kisii raste meiN rastaa puuChtii taqdiir mil jaaye
Muhabbat rok saktii hai samay ke tez dhaare ko!
Kisii jalte sharaare ko, fanaa ke istiyaare ko!
Muhabbat rok saktii hai kisii girte sitaare ko!
Yeh chaknaa chuur aaine ke reze joR saktii hai
Jidhar chaahe yeh baageN mausmoN kii moR saktii hai!
Koii zaNjiir ho, us ko muhabbat toR saktii hai____!!

Chehre Pay Mere Zulf Ko Pheilao Kisi Din
Chehre pe mere zulf ko phailao kisi din
Kaya roz garajty ho,barass jao kisi din
Raazon ki tarah utro mere dil me kisi shab
Dasak pe mere haath ki khul jao kisi din
Perun ki tarah husn ki barish me naha lon
Badal ki tarah jhoom k aao kisi din
Khushbo ki tarah guzro mere dil ki gali se
Pholon ki tarah mujh pe bikhar jao kisi din
Phir haath ki khairat mile band qaba ko
Phir lutf sabhe wasal ko duhrao kisi din
Guzrain jo mere ghar se to ruk jaen sitaare
Is tarah meri raat ko chamkaao kisi din
Main apni har saans uss raat ko de don
Sarr rakh k seene pe mere Soo jao kisi di____!!
Milay Kesi Ki Sadyon Ki Pyas Aur Pani, Zara Phir Se Kehna
Milay Kesi Ki Sadyon Ki Pyas Aur Pani, Zara Phir Se Kehna
Bari Dil Ruba Hai Ye Sari Khani, Zara Phir Se Kehna
Kahan Se Chala Tha Judai Ka Saya, Nahi Dekh Paya
Ke Raste Main Aanson Ki Rwani, Zara Phir Se Kehna
Hawa Ye Khabar Tu Sunati Rahe Aur Main Sunta Rhon
Badalne Ko Hai Ab Ye Mosam Khzani, Zara Phir Se Kehna
Mukr Jane Wala Kabi Zindagi Mai Khushi Phir Na Paye
Yunhi Khatam Kar Lain, Chalo Ye Khani, Zara Phir Se Kehna
Smay Ke Samandar Kaha Tu Ne Jo Bi Suna Par Na Samjhe
Jawani Ki Nadi Mai Tha Teez Pani, Zara Phir Se Kehna_____!!
Jo Baat Nahi Kartey
Jo Baat Nahi Karte
Un Bolte Rangon Mai
Main Ne Tumhain Socha Hai
Jo Dil Se Guzarte Hain
Un Ajnabi Raston Mai
Mai Ne Tumhain Dekha Hai
Kehne K Liye Tum Se
Batain Tu Bahot Si Hain
Alfaz Nahi Milte
Jo Meri Nazar Main Hain
Is Shehr K Baghon Mai
Wo Phol Nahi Khilte
Main Ne Tumhain Jana Hai
Azhar K Rishton Se
Jis Tarah Koi Banda
Dharti Pe Nazar Dale
Ik Bar Khuda Ho Ke_____!!
Ab Tak Na Khul Saka K Mere Roo_Baroo Hai Kon
Ab tak na khul saka ke mere roo baroo hai kaun!
Kis se mukaalama hai pas e guftgoo hai kaun!
Saaya agar hai woh to hai us ka badan kahan
Markaz agar hoon main to mere chaar soo hai kaun!
Har shey ki maahiyat pe jo karta hai tu sawaal
Tujh se agar yeh poochh le koi ke tu hai kaun!
Ashkon mein jhilmilata hua kis ka aks hai
Taaron ki rahguzaar mein yeh maahroo hai kaun!
Baahir kabhi to jhaank ke khidki se dekhte
Kis ko pukaarta hua yeh koo bakoo hai kaun!
Aankhon mein raat aa gai lekin nahin khula
Main kis ka mudda'aa hoon meri justuju hai kaun!
Kis ki nigaah e lutf ne mausam badal diye
Fasl e khizaan ki raah mein yeh mushk boo hai kaun!
Baadal ki ote se kabhi taaron ki aad se
Chhup chhup ke dekhta hua yeh heela joo hai kaun!
Taare hain aasmaan mein jaise zameen pe log
Har chand ek se hain magar hoo bahoo hai kaun!
Hona to chahiye ke yeh mera hi aks ho
Lekin yeh aaine mein mere roo baroo hai kaun!
Is be kanaar phaili hui kainaat mein
Kis ko khabar ke kaun hoon main aur tu hai kaun!
Saara fasaad badhti hui khaahishon ka hai
Dil se bada jahan mein Amjad adoo hai kaun_____!!
Hum To Aseer E Khawab Thay Tabeer Jo Bhi Thi
Hum to aseer e khawab thay tabeer jo bhi thi
Deewar par likhi hui tehreer jo bhi thi
Har fard la jawab tha har naqsh be misal
Mil jul apni qom ki tasveer jo bhi thi
Jo samne hai sub hai ye apne kiye ka khail
Taqdeer ki to chorriye taqdeer jo bhi thi
Aaya or ik nigaah me barbaad kar gaya
Hum ahl e intezar ki jageer jo bhi thi
Qadren jo apna maan theen nilaam ho gaeen
Malbe k mol bik gai tameer jo bhi thi
Talib hain tere reham k adal k nahi
Jaisa bhi apna jurm tha taqseer jo bhi thi
Hathon pe koi zakham na pairon pe kuch nishaan
Sochon me thi parri hui zanjeer jo bhi thi
Ye aur bat chashm na ho ma'ani aashna
Ibrat ka aik dars thi tehreer jo bhi thi
Amjad humari bat wo sunta to aik baar,
Aankhon se us ko choomte tazeer jo bhi thi_______!!
Daam-E-Khushbu Mein Giraftaar Saba Hai Kab Say
Daam-e-khushbu mein giraftaar saba hai kab se
Lafz izhaar ki uljhan mein pada hai kab se
Ai kadi chup ke dar-o-baam sajane wale
Muntazir koi sar-e-koh-e-nida hai kab se
Chaand bhi meri tarah husn shanasa nikla
Uski deewaar pe hairaan khada hai kab se
Baat karta hun to lafzon se mahak aati hai
Koi anfaas ke parde mein chhupa hai kab se
Shaibdahbaazi-e-aaina-e-ehsaas na pooch
Hairat-e-chashm wohi shokh qaba hai kab se
Dekhiye khoon ki barsaat kahan hoti hai
Shahr par chhi hui surkh ghata hai kab se
Koor chashmon ke liye aaina khaana maloom
Warna har zarra tera aksnuma hai kab se
Khoj mein kis ki bhara shahr laga hai Amjad
Dhoondhti kisko sar-e-dasht hawa hai kab se___!!
Hisaab-E-Umr Ka Itna Sa Goshwara Hai
Hisaab-E-Umr Ka Itna Sa Goshwara Hai
Tumhay Nikaal Kar Dekha To Sab Khasaara Hai
Kisi Chiraagh Main Hum Hain Kisi Kanwal Main Tum
Kaheen Jamaal Hamara Kaheen Tumhara Hai
Wo Kya Visaal Ka Lamha Tha Jiskay Nashay Main
Tamam Umr Ki Furqat Hamay Ganwara Hai
Ajab Usool Hain Is Karobaar-E-Duniya Ke
Kisi Ka Qarz Kisi Aur Ne Utara Hai
Kaheen Pe Hai Koi Khushboo Ke Jis Ke Honay Ka
Tamaam Alam-E-Majood Istaara Hai
Najanay Kab Tha,Kahan Tha Magar Ye Lagta Hai
Ye Waqt Pehlay Bhi Hamnay Kabhi Guzara Hai
Ye Do Kinaray To Dariya Ke Ho Gaye, Hum Tum
Magar Wo Kon Hai Jo Teesra Kinara Hai_____!!
