Shaam-E-Firaaq Ab Na Puuchh Aaii Aur Aake Tal Gai
Dil Thaa Ke Phir Bahal Gayaa, Jaan Thii Ke Phir Sambhal Gai
"Ask no more (about) the night of separation; it came, and passed
The heart got diverted again; life found its feet again"
Bazm-E-Khayaal Mein Tere Husn Ki Shamaa Jal Gai
Dard Kaa Chaand Bujh Gayaa, Hijr Kii Raat Dhal Gai
"in the salon of (my) thoughts, the candle of your beauty was lighted
the moon-of-pain extinguished itself, the night of separation slipped away"
Jab Tujhe Yaad Kar Liyaa, Subha Mehak Mehak Uthi
Jab Teraa Gam Jagaa Liyaa, Raat Machal Machal Gai
"whenever you were remembered, the mornings became fragrant
when your pain was awakened, the nights grew restless"
Dil Se To Har Muaamalaa Karake Chale The Saaf Ham
Kahane Mein Unake Saamane Baat Badal Badal Gai
"in the heart i had sorted out all the issues before setting out
(however) while recounting before her, (my) words changed themselves"
Aakhir-E-Shab Ke Hamasafar Faiz Na Jaane Kyaa Hue
Rah Gai Kis Jagah Sabaa, Subha Kidhar Nikal Gai
"who knows where the fellow-travellers of the end-of-the-night went, Faiz?
at which spot did the breeze get left behind? and which way did the dawn walk off?
