Ishq minnat kash E qaraar nahi
Husn majboor E intezaar nahi
Teri ranjish ki intehaa maloom
HasratoN ka miri shumaar nahi
Apni nazreN bikher de saaqee
Mai ba-andaazaa E khumaar nahi
Zer E lab hai abhi tabassum E dost
Muntashir jalwa E bahaar nahi
Apni takmeel kar raha hun maiN
Warna tujh se to mujh ko pyar nahi
Charaa E intezaar kaun kare
Teri nafrat bhi ustawaar nahi
‘Faiz’ zinda raheN wo haiN to sahi
Kya huaa gar wafa shu’aar nahi
