5 THE LOVERS LOVE BECAUSE THEY MUST

5  THE LOVERS LOVE BECAUSE THEY MUST

Patience is something the lovers hate
And beauties, you cannot make them wait

The lovers yearn, and long, and crave
But the beauties are always proud and grave

And beauties know how to use their eyes
To charm and enchant and hypnotize

And when they look at you and smile
They do it because they want to beguile

And the lovers love and do boohoo
Because without it they cannot do

And if they wait, and wait, and wait
They blame it on their cruel fate

And if they hold their girls so dear
It’s, FAIZ, because they are insincere


                Urdu Ode


Ishq minnatkash e qaraar naheen
Husn majboor e intazaar naheen

Taeri ranjish ki intaha maaloom
Hasratoun ka meri shumaar naheen

Apni nazraen bakhhair day saaqi
Mai ba andaaza e khumaar naheen

Zaer e lab hay abhee tabassum e doost
Muntashar jalwa e bahaar naheen

Apni takmeel ker raha houn maen
Warna tujh say toe mujh ko piyaar naheen

Chaara e intazaar kon keray
Taeri nafrat bhee ustawaar naheen

Faiz zinda rahaen, wo haen toe sahi
Kya hua ger wafasha'ar naheen
