ab apna iKHtiyar hai chahe jahan chalen
rahbar se apni rah juda kar chuke hain hum
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar
chandni dil dukhati rahi raat bha
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
aae to yun ki jaise hamesha the mehrban
bhule to yun ki goya kabhi aashna na the
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
hum shaiKH na leader na musahib na sahafi
jo KHud nahin karte wo hidayat na karenge
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
jo nafas tha KHar-e-gulu bana jo uThe the hath lahu hue
wo nashat-e-ah-e-sahr gai wo waqar-e-dast-e-dua gaya
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
jawan-mardi usi rifat pe pahunchi
jahan se buzdili ne jast ki thi
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
jal uThe bazm-e-ghair ke dar-o-baam
jab bhi hum KHanuman-KHarab aae
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
jab tujhe yaad kar liya subh mahak mahak uThi
jab tera gham jaga liya raat machal machal gai
When your thoughts arose, fragrant was the morn
When your sorrow's woke, the night was all forlorn
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
jaanta hai ki wo na aaenge
phir bhi masruf-e-intizar hai dil
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
