Pakistani poet and journalist, who combined in his poetry the themes of love, beauty, and political ideals into a vision of a better world and goodness. Faiz’s first language was Punjabi but he gained fame with his poems written in Urdu, a language similar to Arabic. Due to his opposition to the government and military dictators, Faiz spent several years in prison and was forced to go into exile at different times in his career. Next to Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938), Faiz is one of the best-known poets of Pakistan.
Today is the 24th aniversary of Faiz Ahmed Faiz and i want you people to share his great work here and also do pray for him that ALLAH gives him more higher places in heaven Amin !
mere dil mere musafir
hua phir yeh hukm sadir
ke watan badar hon hum tum
den gali gali sadaaein
karen rukh nagar nagar ka
ke suraagh koi paayen
kisi yaar-e-namabar ka
har ik ajnabi se poochen
jo pata tha apnay ghar ka
sar-e-koo-e-nashanayaan
humein din se raat karna
"kabhi is se baat karna
kabhi us se baat karna"
tumhein kya kahun ke kya hai
"shab-e-gham buri bala hai"
humein yeh bhi tha ghanimat
jo koi shumar hota
"humein kya bura tha marna
agar aik baar hota"
Bol ke lab aazaad haiN tere
Bol zabaaN ab tak terii hai
Teraa sutvaaN jism hai teraa
Bol ke jaaN ab tak terii hai
Dekh ke aahaNgar kii dukaaN meN
TuNd haiN shole surKh hai aahan
Khulne lage qufloN ke dahaane
Phailaa har ek zanjiir kaa daaman
Bol ye thoRaa vaqt bahut hai
Jism-o-zubaaN kii maut se pahle
Bol ke sach ziNdaa hai ab tak
Bol jo kuch kehnaa hai keh le
**Faiz Ahmed Faiz**
Bahaar aye to jaisay yakbaar
Lout aye hain phir adam say
Wo khuaab saaray, shabaab saaray
Jo teray hontoon per mar mitay thay
Jo mit k har baar phir jiye thay
Nikhar gaye hain gulaab saaray
Jo teri yaadoon k mushk.boo hain
Jo teray ashaaq ka lahu hain
Ubal paray hain azaab saaray
Malaal ehwaal-e-dostaan bhi
Khumaar-e-aaghosh-e-mah.wishaan bhi
ghubaar-e-khatir k baab saaray
Teray hamaaray
sawaal saaray, jawaab saaray
Bahaar aayi to khil gaye hain
Naye siray say hisaab saaray
