kis shahr na shohra hua nadani-e-dil ka
kis par na khula raaz pareshani-e-dil ka

aao karen mahfil pe zar-e-zakhm numayan
charcha hai bahut be-sar-o-samani-e-dil ka

dekh aaen chalo ku-e-nigaran ka kharaba
shayad koi mahram mile virani-e-dil ka

puchho to udhar tir-fagan kaun hai yaro
saunpa tha jise kaam nigahbani-e-dil ka

dekho to kidhar aaj rukh-e-baad-e-saba hai
kis rah se payam aaya hai zindani-e-dil ka

utre the kabhi 'faiz' wo aaina-e-dil mein
aalam hai wahi aaj bhi hairani-e-dil ka
