hum ki thahre ajnabi itni mudaraaton ke baad
phir banenge aashna kitni mulaqaton ke baad

kab nazar mein aaegi be-dagh sabze ki bahaar
khun ke dhabbe dhulenge kitni barsaton ke baad

the bahut bedard lamhe khatm-e-dard-e-ishq ke
thin bahut be-mehr subhen mehrban raaton ke baad

dil to chaha par shikast-e-dil ne mohlat hi na di
kuchh gile shikwe bhi kar lete munajaton ke baad

un se jo kahne gae the 'faiz' jaan sadqe kiye
an-kahi hi rah gai wo baat sab baaton ke baad
