aiye hath uthayen ham bhi

Faiz Ahmad Faiz Poetry

aiye hath uthayen ham bhi

ham jinhen rasm-e-dua yad nahin

ham jinhen soz-e-mohabbat k siwa

koi but, koi khuda yad nahin

aiye arz guzaren ki nigar-e-hasti

zahar-e-imaroz main shirini-e-fardan bhar de

wo jinhen tabe garanbari-e-ayyam nahin

unki palkon pe shab-o-roz ko halka kar de

jinki ankhon ko rukh-e-subh ka yara bhi nahin

unki raton main koi shama munawwar kar de

jin k qadamon ko kisi rah ka sahara bhi nahin

unki nazron pe koi rah ujagar kar de

jinka din pairavi-e-kazbo-riya hai unko

himmat-e-kufr mile, jurat-e-tahaqiq mile

jink sar muntazir-e-teg-e-jafa hain unko

dast-e-qatil ko jhatak dene ki taufiq mile

ishq ka sarr-e-nihan jan-tapan hai jis se

aj iqrar karen aur tapish mit jaye

harf-e-haq dil main khatakta hai jo kante ki 

tarah

aj izhar karen or khalish mit jaye
