  1. रात यूं दिल में तेरी खोयी हुई याद आई
    जैसे वीराने में चुपके से बहार आ जाये
    जैसे सहराओं में हौले से चले बाद-ए-नसीम
    जैसे बीमार को बेवजह क़रार आ जाये

    Last night the lost memory of you stole into my mind
    Stealthily as spring steals into a wilderness;
    As on desert wastes a gentle breeze begins to blow
    As in one sick beyond hope, hope begins to grow.

  2. कुछ इश्क़ किया, कुछ काम किया

    वो लोग बहुत ख़ुशक़िस्मत थे
    जो इश्क़ को काम समझते थे
    या काम से आशिक़ी करते थे
    हम जीते जी मसरूफ़ रहे
    कुछ इश्क़ किया कुछ काम किया

    काम इश्क़ के आड़े आता रहा
    और इश्क़ से काम उलझता रहा
    फिर आख़िर तंग आकर हम ने
    दोनों को अधूरा छोड़ दिया

    ~ फ़ैज़ अहमद फ़ैज़

  4. The story of Faiz’s Hum Dekhenge — from Pakistan to India, over 40 years

    #HumDekhenge
    was a powerful and popular poem, but it assumed iconic status and became a universal anthem of protest and hope after it was rendered by Iqbal Bano in 1986, and live recordings of that performance were smuggled out of Pakistan.
