*****Faiz Ahmad Faiz فیض احمد فیض‎*****

Faiz Ahmad Faiz born 13 February 1911 – 20 November 1984 MBE, NI, was an influential left-wing intellectual, revolutionary poet, and one of the most famous poets of the Urdu language from Pakistan. A notable member of the Progressive Writers' Movement (PWM), Faiz was an avowed Marxist. Listed four times for the Nobel Prize in poetry, he received the Lenin Peace Prize by the Soviet Union in 1962. Despite being repeatedly accused of atheism by the political and military establishment, Faiz's poetry suggested a more nuanced relationship with religion in general and with Islam in particular. He was, in fact, greatly inspired by South Asia's Sufi traditions.

 

 Qarz  e Nigah 

 Qarz  e Nigah  e Yaar Ada Kar Chukay Hain Ham
Sab Kuch Nisaar Rah e Wafa Kar Chukay Hain Ham
Kuch Imtahaan e Dast  e Jafr Kar Chukay Hain Ham
Kuch In Ki Dastras Ka Pata Kar Chukay Hain Ham
Ab Ahtiyaat Ki Koii Soorat Nahi Rahi
Qatil Say Rasm e Rah Siwa Kar Chukay Hain Ham
Dekhay Hain Koun Koun , Zarorat Nahi Rahi
Koye e Sitam Main Sab Ko Khafa Kar Chukay Hain Ham
Ab Apna Ikhtiyaar Hay Chahay Jaha Chalay
Rehbar Say Apni Rah Juda Kar Chukay Hain Ham
Un Ki Nazar Main , Kahi Peekha Hay Ab Bhi Rang
Jitna Lahoo Tha Sarf e  Quba Kar Chukay Hain Ham
Kuch Apnay Dil Ki Khon Ka Bhi Shukrana Chahaiye
So Bar Un Ki Khon Ka Gila Kar Chukay Hain Ham.

 Ghairoun say

 Ghairoun say Iltafaat pe toka tow yun kaha,
Dunia main bat bhi na karain ab kisi say ham?

 

Qatil

Qatal K Waqt Tarapne Pe Roth Gaya Qatil

Khoon Dora Hua Jaata Hai Manane K Lye

  Insaaf

 Mitt jaye gi makhlooq to insaaf karo ge,
Munsif ho agar to hashar uthaa kyon nahin dete..

Talkhi-e-Kalaam

Sach Hai Hamee.n Ko Aap Ke Shikway Bajaa Na Thay
Be-Shak Sitam Janaab Ke Sab Dostaana Thay

Haan Jo Jafaa Bhi Aap Ne Ki, Qaaiday Se Ki
Haan Ham Hee Kaar Band-e-Asool-e-Wafa Na Thay

Aaye Tou Yun Ke Jaisay Hamesha Thay Meherbaan
Bhoolay Tou Yun Ke Goya Kabhi Aashna Na Thay

Kyun Daad-e-Gham Ham Ne Talab Ki, Buraa Kiya
Ham Se JahaaN Mein Kushta-e-Gham Aur Kya Na Thay

Gar Fikr-e-zaKhm Ki Tou Khataavaar Hain Ke Ham
Kyun Mahv-e-Madh-e-Khuubi-e-Teg-e-Adaa Na Thay

Har Chaarahgar Ko Chaarahgari Se Guraiz Tha
Warna Hamain Jo Dukh Thay, Bohat La-Dawaa Na Thay

Lab Per Hai Talkhi-e-Mey-e-Ayaam, Warna “Faiz”
Ham Talkhi-e-Kalaam Pe Maail Zaraa Na Thay

  Dekh Lia

Raaz-e-Ulfat Chhupa Ke Dekh Lia
Dil Bohat Kuch Jalaa Ke Dekh Lia

Aur Kia Dekhnay Ko Baaki Hai ?
Aap Se Dil Lagaa Ke Dekh Lia

Wo Mere Ho Ke Bhi Mere Na Howay
Un Ko Apna Banaa Ke Dekh Lia

Aaj Unki Nazar Mein Kuch Ham Ne
Sab Ki Nazrain Bacha Ke Dekh Lia

“Faiz” Takmeel-e-Gham Bhi Na Ho Saki
Ishq Ko Aazmaa Ke Dekh Lia

Kartay Rahain Ge

Ham Parwarish-e-Loh-o-Qalam Kartay Rahain Ge
Jo Dil Pe Guzarti Hai, Raqam Kartay Rahain Ge

Asbaab-e-Gham-e-Ishq Behem Kartay Rahain Ge
Veeraani-e-Dauraan Pe Qaram Kartay Rahain Ge

Haan Talkhi-e-Ayyaam Abhee Aur Barhay Gi
Haan Ahl-e-Sitam, Mashq-e-Sitam Kartay Rahain Ge

Manzoor Ye Talkhi, Ye Sitam Ham Ko Ganwaara
Dam Hai Tou Madawaa-e-Alam Kartay Rahain Ge

Mey Khaana Salaamat Hai, Tou Ham Surkhi Mey Se
Tazeen-e-Dar-o-Baam-e-Haram Kartay Rahain Ge

Baaqi Hai Lahuu Dil Mein Tou Har Ashq Se Paida
Rung-e-Lab-o-Rukhsaar-e-Sanam Kartay Rahain Ge

Ik Tarz-e-Taghaaful Hai So Wo Un Ko Mubaarak
Ik Arz-e-Tamanna Hai So Ham Kartay Rahain Ge

 Dekho Ge

Pindaar Ke Khogar Ko Naqaam Bhi Dekho Ge?
Aaghaaz Se Waaqif Ho Anjaam Bhi Dekho Ge?

Rungini-o-Duniya Se Mayoos Sa Ho Jana……
Dukhta Howa Dil Le Kar Tanhaayi Mein Kho Jaana

Tarsi Howi Nazron Ko Hasrat Se Jhuka Lena
Faryaad Ke Tukron Ko Aahon Mein Chhupa Lena

Raaton Ki Khamooshi Mein Chhup Kar Kubhi Ro Lena
Majboor Jawaani Ke Malboos Ko Dho Lena

Jazbaat Ki Wusat Ko Sajdon Se Basaa Lena
Bhooli Howi Yaadon Ko Seenay Se Laga Lena……!

Madaraton Ke Baad

Hum Ke Thehray Ajnabi Itni Madaraton Ke Baad
Phir Banain Ge Aashna Kitni Mulaqaaton Ke Baad ?

Kub Nazar Mein Aaye Gi Be-Daagh Sabzay Ki Bahaar
Khoon Ke Dhabbay Dhulain Ge Kitni Barsaaton Ke Baad ?

Thay Bohat Be-Dard Lamhay Khatam-e-Dard-e-Aashiqui Ke
Theen Bohat Be-Meher Subhain Meherbaan Raaton Ke Baad

Dil Tou Chaaha Per Shikast-e-Dil Ne Mohlat Hee Na Di
Kuch Gilay Shikway Bhi Kar Laitay Manajaaton Ke Baad

Un Se Jo Kehnay Gaye Thay “Faiz” Jaan Sadqa Kye
An Kahee Hee Reh Gayi Wo Baat Sab Baaton Ke Baad

Din Aa Rahe Hain

Naseeb Aazmaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain
Qareeb Un Ke Aane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Jo Dil Se Kaha Hai Jo Dil Se Suna Hai
Sab Un Ko Sunane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Abhi Se Dil-O-Jaan Sar-E-Raah Rakh Do
Ke Lutne Lutaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Tapakne Lagi Un Nigaahon Se Masti
Nigahain Churaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Saba Phir Hamain Puuchti Phir Rahi Hai
Chaman Ko Sajaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Chalo “Faiz” Phir Se Kahin Dil Lagain
Suna Hai Thikaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain
Kab se

Hasrat-e-deed mein guzraan hain zamaney kab se
Dasht-e-umeed mein gardaan hain dawaney kab se

Der se ankh mein utra nahin askhon ka azaab
Apne zimey hain tera farz najaney kab se

Kis tarah paak ho be-arzu lamhon ka azaab
Dard aya nahin darbaar sjanaey kab se

Sar Karo saaz ke cherrein koi dil sooz ghazal
Dhoondta hai dil-e-shoreeda bahaney kab se

Pur karo jaam ke shayed ho isi lahta rawaan
Rok rakha hai jo ik teer kazzaa ne kab se

Faiz phir kab kisi maktal mein karain ge abad
Lab pe veeran hain shaheedon ke fasaney kab se
