baqi hai ummid zara si
ai parda-war did zara si

jin mein zehanat thi wo karte
kyon andhi taqlid zara si

main bimar-dil bach jata
kar dete takid zara si

aur bhi taza-dam karti hai
fan ko mere tanqid zara si

duniya bhar ke kufr pe tanha
hawi hai tauhid zara si

dil ki sununga lekin pahle
aql kare taid zara si

'faiz' jo tison roza rakkhe
kyon wo manaen id zara si
