bala se barq ne phunka jo aashiyane ko
chaman mein kya hai pata chal gaya zamane ko

kisi ka dar jo mila to kisi ke ho ke rahe
kisi ke waste thukra diya zamane ko

urus-e-zist unhin ko gale lagati hai
jo dar par bhi sunate hain haq zamane ko

khulus-e-dil na ho shamil to bandagi kya hai
zamana khel samajhta hai sar jhukane ko

ubhar rahi thi jahan se hayat-e-nau ki kiran
bula raha tha usi samt main zamane ko

badal sako to badal do hayat ke tewar
lab-e-hayat taraste hain muskurane ko

uthaun barq ke ehsan kis liye 'faizi'
main khud hi aag laga dun na aashiyane ko
