ham se jitne suḳhan tumhāre the

rañg-o-ḳhushbū ke husn-o-ḳhūbī ke

tum se the jitne isti.āre the

tere qaul-o-qarār se pahle

apne kuchh aur bhī sahāre the

jab vo la.al-o-gohar hisāb kiye

jo tire ġham ne dil pe vaare the

mere dāman meñ aa gire saare

jitne tasht-e-falak meñ taare the

umr-e-jāved kī duā karte

'faiz' itne vo kab hamāre the

hum ne sab sher mein sanware the

hum se jitne suKHan tumhaare the

rang-o-KHushbu ke husn-o-KHubi ke

tum se the jitne istiare the

tere qaul-o-qarar se pahle

apne kuchh aur bhi sahaare the

jab wo lal-o-gohar hisab kiye

jo tere gham ne dil pe ware the

mere daman mein aa gire sare

jitne tasht-e-falak mein tare the

umr-e-jawed ki dua karte

'faiz' itne wo kab hamare the
