Sach Hai Hamee.n 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
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
