Kya khushi hogi mustaqil na ho gham e dil agar

Zaamin kaun tufaanon men bhaley ho sahil agar

Manzil to na aayi kabhi chal kar kisi ke paas

Karogey tum thahar kar kya aaye na manzil agar

Himmat e mardaan ko haasil hai madad e khuda

Jab kabhi ghabraye be bas dhadakta dil agar

Raub o daab o ghurur se nahin banta insan koi

Pathhar bhi to mom hai chaahey ho sang dil agar

Sulagta ho gar dil men tere shola e aatish, phir

Faiz kya bata ‘sahil’, jo bhadke na mehfil agar

Dard e dil hai yaro koi sumundar to nahin

Kya zakhm woh gehra na the hovey jo mundanil agar
