99  I WAS SINGING AND DANCING IN MY DREAM

Last night in a trance I suddenly fell
And thought I was with a beautiful belle

I was singing and dancing in my dream
For to be with her was the joy supreme

And there were flowers, red, white, and blue
With their faces gleaming with pearly dew

And then I went for a stormy ride
With my happy heart as my only guide

And, FAIZ, it gave me a wonderful lift
And I thanked my heart for the beautiful gift

                          URDU POEM
                            GHAZAL

Jaisay humbazm haen phir yaar e terhehdaar say hum
Raat miltay rahay apnay dar o deewaar say hum

Sarkhushi say yuinhi dilshaad o ghazakhaan guzray
Koo e qaatil say kabhee koocha e dildaar say hum

Kabhee manzil, kbhee rastay nay humaen saath diya
Her qadam uljhay rahay qaaflasaalaar say hum

Hum say baibehra hoie ab jaras e gul ki sada
Warna waaqif thay her ik rang ki jhankar say hum

FAIZ, jab chaaha, jo kuchh chaaha sada maang lia
Haath phaila kay dil e baizar o deenaar say hum
