dekhiye kya se kya ho gaya
ab to wo parsa ho gaya

baat ka tha na jis ko shuur
aaj wo rahnuma ho gaya

lut gaya rah chalte hue
kya tha sathi juda ho gaya

sar utha kar bhi dekha nahin
itna sharminda sa ho gaya

kuchh saliqa nahin baat ka
ruth kar wo khafa ho gaya

baat banti bigadti rahi
bab-e-dil jab na wa ho gaya

aate jate bhi milta nahin
itna kyon bewafa ho gaya

kash ab bhi wo kuchh soch le
wo jo ahl-e-jafa ho gaya

'faiz' kaise kate zindagi
jab ki jina gila ho gaya
