ham par tumhaarii chaah kaa ilzaam hii to hai

ham par tumhaarii chaah kaa ilzaam hii to hai
dushnaam to nahiin hai ye ikaraam hii to hai

karate hain jis pe taa'n, koii jurm to nahiin
shauq-e-fuzuul-o-ulfat-e-nakaam hii to hai 

dil muddaii ke harf-e-malaamat se shaad hai
ae jaan-e-jaaN ye harf teraa naam hii to hai

dil naa-ummiid to nahiin, na-kaam hii to hai 

lambii hai Gam kii shaam, magar shaam hii to hai

dast-e-falak men, gardish-e-taqadiir to nahiin
dast-e-falak men, gardish-e-ayyaam hii to hai

aaKhir to ek roz karegii nazar wafaa
wo yaar-e-Khush_Khasaal sar-e-baam hii to hai

bhiigii hai raat 'Faiz' Gazal ibtidaa karo
waqt-e-sarod dard kaa ha.ngaam hii to hai
