Spring breeze is filled with flowers’ fragrance

Come love; let garden carry on its business

O friends! The birdcage is in plight

Ask the gentle wind to be a delight

Request the Lord to cherish my beloved

To speak of, and relish my beloved

Wish the dawn emerges from thy leer

And the dusk emits fragrance of thy hair

The heart isn’t affluent, but agony is bighearted

The dreary still be there to cheer you as bighearted

What anguish we went through is thereafter

Sundering night and tears adorn thy hereafter

I couldn’t resist my fervor in thy presence, love

I tied up shirt in a knot; tore collar to threads, love

No place fascinated Faiz on his way

Going away from his beloved’s home

To the gallows way

Gulon mein rang bhare baad-e-naubahaar chale
Chale bhi aao ke gulshan ka kaarobaar chale

Qafas udaas hai yaaro sabaa se kuchh to kaho
Kahin to bahr-e-khudaa aaj zikr-e-yaar chale

Kabhi to subah tere kunj-e-lab se ho aaghaaz
Kabhi to shab sar-e-kaakul se mushkbaar chale

Bara hai dard ka rishta yeh dil gharib sahi
Tumhare naam pe aaenge ghamguzaar chale

Jo hum pe guzri so guzri magar shab-e-hijraan
Hamaare ashk teri aaqibat sanwaar chale

Huzoor-e-yaar hui daftar-e-junoon ki talab
Girah mein leke girebaan ka taat taar chale

Maqaam Faiz koi raah mein jacha hi nahin
Jo ku-e-yaar se nikle to su-e-daar chale
