abhi abhi tha tabassum abhi hijab mein hai
zamane bhar ka talawwun tere shabab mein hai

zamir-e-lauh-o-qalam jis se pech-o-tab mein hai
wo raaz mere dil-e-khanuman-kharab mein hai

tasawwur us ka mere dida-e-pur-ab mein hai
jo be-hijab bhi ho kar abhi hijab mein hai

nigah-e-husn se azal jau kaundi thi
wo barq dekh mere saghar-e-sharab mein hai

bas ek sabza-e-begana par nahin mauquf
ye wo chaman hai jahan zarra zarra khwab mein hai

likha tha kilk-e-azal ne jo husn-o-masti par
wo tabsira bhi teri chashm-e-nim-khwab mein hai

bilittifaq tum ab ban gae na markaz-e-husn
yahi to baat mere husn-e-intikhab mein hai

khayal-e-tark-e-mohabbat durust 'faiz' magar
main puchhta hun ye imkan aan-janab mein hai
