Re: Faiz Ahmad Faiz
Ye kis khalish ne phir is dil mein aashiyana kiya
phir aj kis ne sukhan hum se gayebana kiya
gam-e-jahan ho, rukh-e-yar ho ke dast-e-udu
salook jis se kiya hum ne aashiqana kiya
the khak-e-rah bhi hum log qahar-e-tufan bhi
saha to kya na saha aur kiya to kya na kiya
khusha ke aj har ik muddai ke lab par hai
wo raz jis ne hamen rand-e-zamana kiya
wo hilagar jo vafaju bhi hai jafakhu bhi
kiya bhi “faiz” to kis but se dostana kiya

Tumhari yaad ke jab zakhm bharne lagate hain
kisi bahane tumhen yaad karne lagate hain
hadis-e-yar ke unavan nikharane lagate hain
to har harim mein gesu sanvarane lagate hain
har ajanabi hamen maharam dikhai deta hai
jo ab bhi teri gali gali se guzarne lagate hain
saba se karte hain gurbat-nasib zikr-e-vatan
to chashm-e-subah mein aansu ubharne lagate hain
wo jab bhi karte hain is nutq-o-lab ke bakhiyagari
faza mein aur bhi naghmay bikharne lagate hain
dar-e-qafas pe andhere ke muhar lagti hai
to “faiz” dil mein sitare utarane lagate hain

Faiz was an institute. I don't know how a communist poet got so much recognition in religious (so called) society.

Faiz Ahmed Faiz is not a name, not a poet, he was an institution.
