Catch Meray Dil Meray Musafir Executed By Faiz Ahmad Faiz Expressed As E-Text

bit difficult to understand but surely a good read from a poet that so effortlessly characterises an era of turbulence, اس کتاب میں وہ نظم ہے جس کی وجہ سے میں نے فیض صاحب کو پڑھنا اور سمجھنا شروع کیا فیض صاحب کی شاعری سمجھنے کے لئے فیض صاحب کو بھی سمجھنا انتہائی ضروری ہے
"مرے دل مرے مسافر
ہوا پھر سے حکم صادر
کہ وطن بدر ہوں ہم تم
دیں گلی گلی صدائیں
کریں رخ نگر نگر کا
کہ سراغ کوئی پائیں
کسی یار نامہ بر کا
ہر اک اجنبی سے پوچھیں
جو پتا تھا اپنے گھر کا
سر کوئے ناشنائیاں
ہمیں دن سے رات کرنا
کبھی اس سے بات کرنا
کبھی اس سے بات کرنا
تمہیں کیا کہوں کہ کیا ہے
شب غم بری بلا ہے
ہمیں یہ بھی تھا غنیمت
جو کوئی شمار ہوتا
ہمیں کیا برا تھا مرنا
اگر ایک بار ہوتا" There are some poignant verses,but it is a brief collection.
Among my favourite lines :
Humain kya bura tha marna
Agar aik baar hota زہر سے دھو لیے ہیں ہونٹ اپنے
لطف ساقی نے جب کمی کی   ہے
بس وہی سرخ رو ہوا جس   نے
