aaj bazar mein pa-ba-jaulan chalo
Interesting Fact
When Faiz was being taken from the jail in Lahore, in chains, to a dentist’s office in a horse cart (tonga) through the familiar streets, people recognized him, followed his tonga. He expressed this feeling through this poem.
chashm-e-nam jān-e-shorīda kaafī nahīñ
tohmat-e-ishq-e-poshīda kaafī nahīñ
aaj bāzār meñ pā-ba-jaulāñ chalo
dast-afshāñ chalo mast o raqsāñ chalo
ḳhāk-bar-sar chalo ḳhūñ-ba-dāmāñ chalo
raah taktā hai sab shahr-e-jānāñ chalo
hākim-e-shahr bhī majma-e-ām bhī
tīr-e-ilzām bhī sang-e-dushnām bhī
sub.h-e-nāshād bhī roz-e-nākām bhī
un kā dam-sāz apne sivā kaun hai
shahr-e-jānāñ meñ ab bā-safā kaun hai
dast-e-qātil ke shāyāñ rahā kaun hai
raḳht-e-dil bāñdh lo dil-figāro chalo
phir hamīñ qatl ho aa.eñ yaaro chalo
chashm-e-nam jaan-e-shorida kafi nahin
tohmat-e-ishq-e-poshida kafi nahin
aaj bazar mein pa-ba-jaulan chalo
dast-afshan chalo mast o raqsan chalo
KHak-bar-sar chalo KHun-ba-daman chalo
rah takta hai sab shahr-e-jaanan chalo
hakim-e-shahr bhi majma-e-am bhi
tir-e-ilzam bhi sang-e-dushnam bhi
subh-e-nashad bhi roz-e-nakaam bhi
un ka dam-saz apne siwa kaun hai
shahr-e-jaanan mein ab ba-safa kaun hai
dast-e-qatil ke shayan raha kaun hai
raKHt-e-dil bandh lo dil-figaro chalo
phir hamin qatl ho aaen yaro chalo
