Raushan kaheen bahar ke imkan huye to hain

 

poet: Faiz Ahmad Faiz

 

Raushan kaheen bahar ke imkan huye to hain
gulashan mein chak chand gareban huye to hain

ab bhi khizan ka raj hai lekin kaheen kaheen
goshe rah-e-chaman mein gazal-khvan huye to hain

thahari huyi hai shab ke siyahi waheen magar
kuch kuch sahar ke rang par-afshan huye to hain

in mein lahu jala ho hamara ke jan-o-dil
mahafil mein kuch chirag farozan huye to hain

han kaj karo kulah ke sab kuch luta ke hum
ab be-niyaz-e-gardish-e-dauran huye to hain

ahal-e-qafas ke subah-e-chaman mein khulegi aankh
bad-e-saba se vada-e-paiman huye to hain

hai dasht ab abhi dasht magar khun-e-pa se “faiz”
sairab chand khar-e-mugelan huye to hain
