hadis-e-yar ke unwan nikharne lagte hain
to har harim mein gesu sanwarne lagte hain
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
hum ahl-e-qafas tanha bhi nahin har roz nasim-e-subh-e-watan
yaadon se moattar aati hai ashkon se munawwar jati hai
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
hum aise sada-dilon ki niyaz-mandi se
buton ne ki hain jahan mein KHudaiyan kya kya
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
hum parwarish-e-lauh-o-qalam karte rahenge
jo dil pe guzarti hai raqam karte rahenge
We will nourish the pen and tablet; we will tend them ever
We will write what the heart suffers; we will defend them eve
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
hum sahal-talab kaun se farhad the lekin
ab shahr mein tere koi hum sa bhi kahan hai
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
hum se kahte hain chaman wale ghariban-e-chaman
tum koi achchha sa rakh lo apne virane ka nam
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
hum shaiKH na leader na musahib na sahafi
jo KHud nahin karte wo hidayat na karenge
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
ek fursat-e-gunah mili wo bhi chaar din
dekhe hain hum ne hausle parwardigar ke
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
ek tarz-e-taghaful hai so wo un ko mubarak
ek arz-e-tamanna hai so hum karte rahenge
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
