kis ki aankhon ka liye dil pe asar jate hain

kis kī āñkhoñ kā liye dil pe asar jaate haiñ

mai-kade haath baḌhāte haiñ jidhar jaate haiñ

dil meñ armān-e-visāl aañkh meñ tūfān-e-jamāl

hosh baaqī nahīñ jaane kā magar jaate haiñ

bhūltī hī nahīñ dil ko tirī mastāna nigāh

saath jaatā hai ye mai-ḳhāna jidhar jaate haiñ

pāsbānān-e-hayā kyā hue ai daulat-e-husn

ham churā kar tirī duz-dīda nazar jaate haiñ

pursish-e-dil to kujā ye bhī na pūchhā us ne

ham musāfir kidhar aa.e the kidhar jaate haiñ

chashm-e-hairāñ meñ samā.e haiñ ye kis ke jalve

tuur har gaam pe raqsāñ haiñ jidhar jaate haiñ

jis tarah bhūle musāfir koī sāmāñ apnā

ham yahāñ bhuul ke dil aur nazar jaate haiñ

kitne bedard haiñ is shahr ke rahne vaale

raah meñ chhīn ke dil kahte haiñ ghar jaate haiñ

agle vaqtoñ meñ luTā karte the rah-rau aksar

ham to is ahd meñ bhī luT ke magar jaate haiñ

faizabad se pahuñchā hameñ ye faiz 'aḳhtar'

ki jigar par liye ham dāġh-e-jigar jaate haiñ

kis ki aankhon ka liye dil pe asar jate hain

mai-kade hath baDhate hain jidhar jate hain

dil mein arman-e-visal aankh mein tufan-e-jamal

hosh baqi nahin jaane ka magar jate hain

bhulti hi nahin dil ko teri mastana nigah

sath jata hai ye mai-KHana jidhar jate hain

pasbanan-e-haya kya hue ai daulat-e-husn

hum chura kar teri duz-dida nazar jate hain

pursish-e-dil to kuja ye bhi na puchha us ne

hum musafir kidhar aae the kidhar jate hain

chashm-e-hairan mein samae hain ye kis ke jalwe

tur har gam pe raqsan hain jidhar jate hain

jis tarah bhule musafir koi saman apna

hum yahan bhul ke dil aur nazar jate hain

kitne bedard hain is shahr ke rahne wale

rah mein chhin ke dil kahte hain ghar jate hain

agle waqton mein luTa karte the rah-rau aksar

hum to is ahd mein bhi luT ke magar jate hain

faizabad se pahuncha hamein ye faiz 'aKHtar'

ki jigar par liye hum dagh-e-jigar jate hain
