The Colours of My Heart

by Faiz Ahmed Faiz


  Har ek raahguzaar gardish-e aseeran hai

  Na sang-e mil na manzil na mukhlisi ki sabeel

  Jo koi tez chale rah toh puchhta hai khayaal

  Ki tokne koi lalkaar kyun nahin aayi

  Jo koi haath hilaaye toh wahm ko hai sawaal

  Koi chhanak koi jhankaar kyun nahin aayi

  Yahan se shahr ko dekho toh saari khalqat mein

  Na koi saahib-e tamkeen na koi waali-e hosh

  Har ek mard-e jawaan mujrim-e rasan ba-gulu

  Har ik haseena-e rana kaneez-e halqa bagosh

  Jo saaye door charaaghon ke gird larzaan hain

  Na jaane mehfil-e gham hai ki bazm-e jaam-o sabu

  Jo rang har dar-o deewar par pareshaan hain

  Yahan se kuchh nahin khulta yeh phool hain ki lahu

  ~

  38. Kis Harf Pe Tu-ne Gosha-e Lab Ay Jaan-e Jahaan Ghammaaz Kiya

  Kis harf pe tu-ne gosha-e lab ay jaan-e jahaan ghammaaz kiya

  Ailaan-e junoon dil waalon ne ab ke ba-hazaar andaaz kiya

  Sau paikaan thhe paiwast-e gulu jab chhedi shauq ki lai humne

  Sau teer taraazu thhe dil mein jab humne raqs aaghaaz kiya

  Be-hirs-o hawa be-khauf-o khatar iss haath pe sar uss kaf pe jigar

  Yun ku-e sanam mein waqt-e safar nazaara-e baam-e naaz kiya

  Jis khaak mein mil kar khaak huwe woh surma-e chashm-e khalq bani

  Jis khaar pe humne khoon chhidka hamrang-e gul-e tannaaz kiya

  Lo wasl ki sa-at aa pahunchi phir hukm-e huzoori par humne

  Aankhon ke dareeche band kiye aur seene ka dar baz kiya

  ~

  39. Deewaar-e Shab Aur Aks-e Rukh-e Yaar Saamne

  Deewaar-e shab aur aks-e rukh-e yaar saamne

  Phir dil ke aaine se lahu phootne laga

  Phir waz-e ihtiyaat se dhundla gayi nazar

  Phir zabt-e aarzu se badan tootne laga

  ~

  40. Kiye Aarzu Se Paimaan Jo Ma’al Tak Na Pahunche

  Kiye aarzu se paimaan jo ma’al tak na pahunche

  Shab-o roz-e aashnaai mah-o saal tak na pahunche

  Woh nazar baham na pahunchi ki muheet-e husn karte

  Teri deed ke waseele khad-o khaal tak na pahunche

  Wahi chashma-e baqa tha jisse sab saraab samjhe

  Wahi khwaab motabar thhe jo khayaal tak na pahunche

  Tera lutf vajh-e taskeen na qaraar sharh-e gham se

  Ki hain dil mein woh gile bhi jo malaal tak na pahunche

  Koi yaar jaan se guzra koi hosh se na guzra

  Yeh nadeem-e yak-do saagar mere haal tak na pahunche

  Chalo Faiz dil jalaayein karein phir se arz-e jaanan

  Woh sukhan jo lab tak aaye par sawaal tak na pahunche

  ~

  41. Dua

  Aaiye haath uthaayein hum bhi

  Hum jinhein rasm-e dua yaad nahin

  Hum jinhein soz-e muhabbat ke siva

  Koi bhut koi khuda yaad nahin

  Aaiye arz guzaarein ki nigaar-e hasti

  Zahr-e imroz mein sheereeni-e farda bhar de

  Woh jinhein taab-e giraanbaari-e ayyaam nahin

  Unki palkon pe shab-o roz ko halka kar de

  Jinki aankhon ko rukh-e subh ka yaara bhi nahin

  Unki raaton mein koi shama munawwar kar de

  Jinke qadmon ko kisi rah ka sahaara bhi nahin

  Unki nazron pe koi raah ujaagar kar de

  Jinka deen pairvi-e kizb-o riya hai unko

  Himmat-e kufr mile jurrat-e tahqeeq mile

  Jinke sar muntazir-e tegh-e jafa hain unko

  Dast-e qaatil ko jhatak dene ki taufeeq mile

  Ishq ka sirr-e nihaan jaan tapan hai jisse

  Aaj iqraar karein aur tapish mit jaaye

  Harf-e haq dil mein khatakta hai jo kaante ki tarah

  Aaj izhaar karein aur khalish mit jaaye

  ~

  42. Sharh-e Bedardi-e Haalaat Na Hone Paayi

  Sharh-e bedardi-e haalat na hone paayi

  Ab ke bhi dil ki madaaraat na hone paayi

  Phir wohi waada jo iqraar na banne paaya

  Phir wahi baat jo isbaat na hone paayi

  Phir woh parwaane jinhein izn-e shahaadat na mila

  Phir woh shammein ki jinhein raat na hone paayi

  Phir wahi jaan balabi lazzat-e mai se pehle

  Phir woh mehfil jo kharabaat na hone paayi

  Phir dum-e deed rahe chashm-o nazar deed talab

  Phir shab-e wasl mulaqaat na hone paayi

  Phir wahan baab-e asar jaaniye kab band hua

  Phir yahan khatm munajaat na hone paayi

  Faiz sar par jo har ik roz qayaamat guzri

  Ek bhi roz-e makafaat na hone paayi

  ~

  43. Jis Roz Qaza Aayegi

  Kis tarah aayegi jis roz qaza aayegi

  Shaayad iss tarah ki jis taur kabhi awwal-e shab

  Be-talab pehle pahal marhamat-e bosa-e lab

  Jisse khulne lagein har simt tilismaat ke dar

  Aur kahin door se anjaan gulaabon ki bahaar

  Yak ba yak seena-e mehtaab ko tadpaane lage

  Shaayad iss tarah ki jis taur kabhi aakhir-e shab

  Neem wa kaliyon se sarsabz seher

  Yak ba yak hujra-e mehboob mein lehraane lage

  Aur khamosh dareechon se ba-hangaam-e raheel

  Jhanjhanaate huwe taaron ki sada aane lage

  Kis tarah aayegi jis roz qaza aayegi

  Shaayad iss tarah ki jis taur tah-e nok-e sinan

  Koi rag waahima-e dard se chillaane lage

  Aur qazzaaq-e sinaan-dast ka dhundla saaya

  Az karaan ta ba karaan dahr pe mandlaane lage

  Kis tarah aayegi jis roz qaza aayegi

  Khwaah qaatil ki tarah aaye ki mehboob sifat

  Dil se bas hogi yahi harf-e vida ki soorat

  Lillaah-il hamd ba anjaam-e dil-e dil zadagaan

  Kalma-e shukr ba naam-e lab-e sheereen dahnaan

  ~

  44. Ashkabad Ki Ek Shaam

  Jab sooraj ne jaate jaate

  Ashkabad ke neele ufuq se

  Apne sunehri jaam

  Mein dhaali

  Surkhi-e awwal-e shaam

  Aur yeh jaam

  Tumhaare saamne rakh kar

  Tumse kiya kalaam

  Kaha

  Parnaam utho

  Aur apne tan ki sej se uth kar

  Ik sheereen paighaam

  Sabt karo iss shaam

  Kisi ke naam

  Kinaar-e jaam

  Shaayad tum yeh maan gayin aur tumne

  Apne lab-e gulfaam

  Kiye inaam

  Kisi ke naam

  Kinaar-e jaam

  Ya shaayad

  Tum apne tan ki sej pe saj kar

  Thiin yun mahv-e aaraam

  Ki raste takte takte

  Bujh gayi shamm-e jaam

  Ashkabad ke neele ufaq par

  Ghaarat ho gayi shaam

  ~

  45. Mere Dard Ko Jo Zubaan Mile

  Mera dard naghma-e be-sada

  Meri zaat zarra-e be-nishaan

  Mere dard ko jo zubaan mile

  Mujhe apna naam-o nishaan mile

  Meri zaat ka jo nishaan mile

  Mujhe raaz-e nazm-e jahaan mile

  Jo mujhe yeh raaz-e nihaan mile

  Meri khamoshi ko bayaan mile

  Mujhe kayanaat ki sarwari

  Mujhe daulat-e do jahaan mile

  ~

  46. Ay Shaam Meherbaan Ho

  Ay shaam meherbaan ho

  Ay shaam-e shahr-e yaaraan

  Hum pe meherbaan ho

  Dozakhi dopahr sitam ki

  Be-sabab sitam ki

  Dopahr dard-o ghaiz-o gham ki

  Be-zabaan dard-o ghaiz-o gham ki

  Iss dozakhi dopahr ke taaziyaane

  Aaj tan par dhanak ki soorat

  Qaus dar qaus bat gaye hain

  Zakhm sab khul gaye hain jinke

  Daagh jaana tha chhut gaye hain

  Tere toshe mein kuchh toh hoga

  Marham-e dard ka doshaala


  Tan ke uss ang par udha de

  Dard sab se siva jahan ho

  Ay shaam meherbaan ho

  Ay shaam-e shahr-e yaaraan

  Hum pe meherbaan ho

  Dozakhi dasht nafraton ke

  Bedard nafraton ke

  Kirchiyaan deeda-e hasad ki

  Khas-o khaashaak ranjishon ke

  Itni sunsaan shahraahein

  Itni gunjaan qatl gaahein

  Jin se aaye hain hum guzar kar

  Aabla ban ke har qadam par

  Yun paon kat gaye hain

  Raste simat gaye hain

  Makhmalin apne baadalon ki

  Aaj paon tale bichha de

  Shaafi-e karb-e rahrawaan ho

  Ay shaam meherbaan ho

  Ay mah-e shab-e nigaaraan

  Ay rafeeq-e dil-figaaraan

  Iss shaam hum zubaan ho

  Ay shaam meherbaan ho

  Ay shaam meherbaan ho

  Ay shaam-e shahr-e yaaraan

  Hum pe meherbaan ho

  ~

  47. Na Ab Raqeeb Na Naasih Na Ghamgusaar Koi

  Na ab raqeeb na naasih na ghamgusaar koi

  Tum aashna thhe toh thiin aashnaiyan kya kya

  Juda thhe hum toh mayassar thiin qurbatein kitni

  Baham huwe toh padi hain judaaiyaan kya kya

  Pahunch ke dar pe tere kitne motabar thehre

  Agarche raah mein huin jag hansaaiyaan kya kya

  Hum aise sada dilon ki niyaaz mandi se

  Buton ne ki hain jahaan mein khudaaiyaan kya kya

  Sitam pe khush kabhi lutf-o karam se ranjeeda

  Sikhaayin tumne hamein kaj adaaiyaan kya kya

  ~

  48. Dhaka Se Waapsi Par

  Hum ki thehre ajnabi itni madaaraaton ke baad

  Phir banenge aashna kitni mulaqaaton ke baad

  Kab nazar mein aayegi be-daagh sabze ki bahaar

  Khoon ke dhabbe dhulenge kitni barsaaton ke baad

  Thhe bahut bedard lamhe khatm-e dard-e ishq ke

  Thiin bahut be-mehr subhein meherbaan raaton ke baad

  Dil toh chaaha par shikast-e dil ne muhlat hi na di

  Kuchh gile shikwe bhi kar lete munaajaaton ke baad

  Unse jo kehne gaye thhe Faiz jaan sadqa kiye

  Ankahi hi reh gayi woh baat sab baaton ke baad

  ~

  49. Tum Apni Karni Kar Guzro

  Ab kyun uss din ka zikr karo

  Jab dil tukde ho jaayega

  Aur saare gham mit jaayenge

  Jo kuchh paaya kho jaayega

  Jo mil na saka woh paayenge

  Yeh din toh wohi pehla din hai

  Jo pehla din tha chaahat ka

  Hum jiski tamanna karte rahe

  Aur jis se har dum darte rahe

  Yeh din toh kitni baar aaya

  Sau baar basse aur ujad gaye

  Sau baar lute aur bhar paaya

  Ab kyun uss din ki fikr karo

  Jab dil tukde ho jaayega

  Aur saare gham mit jaayenge

  Tum khauf-o khatar se dar guzro

  Jo hona hai so hona hai

  Gar hansna hai toh hansna hai

  Gar rona hai toh rona hai

  Tum apni karni kar guzro

  Jo hoga dekha jaayega

  ~

  50. Kuchh Ishq Kiya Kuchh Kaam Kiya

  Woh log bahut khush-qismat thhe

  Jo ishq ko kaam samajhte thhe

  Ya kaam se aashiqi karte thhe

  Hum jeete ji masroof rahe

  Kuchh ishq kiya kuchh kaam kiya

  Kaam ishq ke aade aata raha

  Aur ishq se kaam ulajhta raha

  Phir aakhir tang aa kar humne

  Donon ko adhoora chhod diya

  ~

  51. Aaj Ek Harf Ko Phir Dhoondta Phirta Hai Khayaal

  (1)

  Aaj ik harf ko phir dhoondta phirta hai khayaal

  Madh bhara harf koi zahr bhara harf koi

  Dil nasheen harf koi qahr bhara harf koi

  Harf-e ulfat koi dildaar nazar ho jaise

  Jisse milti hai nazar bosa-e lab ki soorat

  Itna raushan ki sar-e mauja-e zar ho jaise

  Sohbat-e yaar mein aaghaaz-e tarab ki soorat

  Harf-e nafrat koi shamsheer-e ghazab ho jaise

  Ta abad shahr-e sitam jisse tabaah ho jaayein

  Itna taareek ki shamshaan ki shab ho jaise

  Lab pe laaun toh mere hont siyah ho jaayein

  (2)

  Aaj har sur se har ik raag ka naata toota

  Dhoondti phirti hai mutrib ko phir uski aawaz

  Joshish-e dard se majnun ke garebaan ki tarah

  Chaak dar chaak hua aaj har ik parda-e saaz

  Aaj har mauj-e hawa se hai sawaali khalqat

  La koi naghma koi saut teri umr daraaz

  Nauha-e gham hi sahi shor-e shahaadat hi sahi

  Soor-e mahshar hi sahi baang-e qayaamat hi sahi

  ~

  52. Dil-e Mann Musaafir-e Mann

  Mere dil mere musaafir

  Hua phir se hukm saadir

  Ki watan badar hon hum tum

  Dein gali gali sadaein

  Karein rukh nagar nagar ka

  Ki suraagh koi paayein

  Kisi yaar-e naama bar ka

  Har ek ajnabi se poochhein

  Jo pata tha apne ghar ka

  Sar-e ku-e na-ashnaayaan

  Humein din se raat karna

  Kabhi isse baat karna

  Kabhi usse baat karna

  Tumhein kya kahun ki kya hai

  ‘Shab-e gham buri bala hai’

  Humein yeh bhi tha ghaneemat

  Jo koi shumaar hota

  ‘Humein kya bura tha marna

  Agar ek baar hota’

  ~

  53. Manzar (3)

  Aasmaan aaj ik bahr-e pur shor hai

  Jis mein har su rawaan baadalon ke jahaaz

  Unke arshe pe kirnon ke mastool hain

  Baadbaanon ke pehne huwe farghulein

  Neel mein gumbadon ke jazeere kayi

  Ek baazi mein masroof hai har koi

  Abaabeel koi nahaati hui

  Koi cheel ghote mein jaati hui

  Koi taaqat nahin iss mein zor aazma

  Koi beda nahin hai kisi mulk ka

  Iski tah mein koi aabdozin nahin

  Koi rocket nahin koi topein nahin

  Yun toh saare anaasir hain yahan zor mein

  Amn kitna hai iss bahr-e pur shor mein

  ~

  54. Nazr-e Haafiz

  Naaseham guft bajuz gham che hunar daarad ishq

  Birau ay khwaaja-e aaqil hunare behtar azeen

  (Haafiz)

  Qand-e dahan kuchh isse zyaada

  Lutf-e sukhan kuchh isse zyaada

  Fasl-e khizaan mein lutf-e bahaaraan

  Barg-e saman kuchh isse zyaada

  Haal-e chaman par talkh-nawaayi

  Murgh-e chaman kuchh isse zyaada

  Dil shikani bhi dildaari bhi

  Yaad-e watan kuchh isse zyaada

  Shamm-e badan faanoos-e qaba mein

  Khoobi-e tan kuchh isse zyaada

  Ishq mein kya hai gham ke ilaawa

  Khwaaja-e mann kuchh isse zyaada

  ~

  55. Sitam Sikhlaayega Rasm-e Wafa Aise Nahin Hota

  Sitam sikhlaayega rasm-e wafa aise nahin hota

  Sanam dikhlaaenge raah-e khuda aise nahin hota

  Gino sab hasratein jo khoon hui hain tan ke maqtal mein

  Mere qaatil hisaab-e khoon baha aise nahin hota

  Jahaan-e dil mein kaam aati hain tadbeerein na taazeerein

  Yahan paimaan-e tasleem-o reza aise nahin hota

  Har ik shab har ghadi guzre qayaamat yun toh hota hai

  Magar har subh ho roz-e jaza aise nahin hota

  Rawaan hai nabz-e dauraan gardishon mein aasmaan saare

  Jo tum kehte ho sab kuchh ho chuka aise nahin hota

  ~

  56. Hijr Ki Raakh Aur Wisaal Ke Phool

  Aaj phir dard-o gham ke dhaage mein

  Hum piro k
ar tere khayaal ke phool

  Tark-e ulfat ke dasht se chun kar

  Aashnaayi ke maah-o saal ke phool

  Teri dehleez par saja aaye

  Phir teri yaad par chadha aaye

  Baandh kar aarzu ke palle mein

  Hijr ki raakh aur wisaal ke phool

  ~

  57. Nazr-e Maulana Hasrat Mohani

  Mar jaayenge zaalim ki himaayat na karenge

  Ahraar kabhi tark-e riwaayat na karenge

  Kya kuchh na mila hai jo kabhi tujhse mile thhe

  Ab tere na milne ki shikaayat na karenge

  Shab beet gayi hai toh guzar jaayega din bhi

  Har lehza jo guzri woh hikaayat na karenge

  Yeh faqr-e dil-e zaar ka iwzaana bahut hai

  Shaahi nahin maangenge wilaayat na karenge

  Hum sheikh na leader na musaahib na sahaafi

  Jo khud nahin karte woh hidaayat na karenge
