Zakhm taaza hon tu unhain kuraida nahee kartay
Dard barh jaye tu ashk chupaaya nahee kartay
Kabhi zindagi mein aise bhi mor aatay hain
Kuch log bichar kar dobaara mila nahe kartay
Dil mein muhabbat ke pholoon ko khila kar
Gulshan mein baharoon ko bulaaya nahe kartay
Rakhtay hain qufl laboon pe, per ankhoo ke aenay
Muhabbat ki sachaee ko jhutlaaya nahee kartay
Tarap jaaye dil siskeyyaan dam tor dain
Per dastaan-e-gham kisi ko sunaaya nahee kartay
Chalak jayain gar rukhsaar pe ashk palkoo ko hara kar
Mutthi mein chuppa letay hain ‘Fiza’ dikhaaya nahe kartay
[Faiza Ateeq-ur-Rehman]
