mehrbanon ki mehrbani se

mehrbanon ki mehrbani se
log milte hain khush-bayani se
jab se dubi hai sohni dariya mein
mujh ko lagti hai aag pani se


zalzalon se makan girte hain
ghar ujadte hain bad-gumani se
koi samjhae jaane wale ko
dil bahalta nahin nishani se


aap nazan hain jis jawani par
hum bhi guzre hain us jawani se
qissa-go se yahi guzarish hai
dur raja kare na rani se


zindagani se ek shikwa hai
ek shikwa hai zindagani se
kyon na hoga shigaf patthar mein
ashk bahta raha rawani se


'faiz' duniya sanbhaal ab apni
mujh ko be-dakhl kar kahani se
