Last night your faded memory came to me
As in the wilderness spring comes quietly,
As, slowly, in the desert moves thew breeze,
As to a sick man, without cause, comes peace

रात यूँ दिल में तेरी खोई हुई याद आयी
जैसे वीराने में चुपके से बहार आ जाये
जैसे सेहराओं में हौले से चले बाद-ए-नसीम
जैसे बीमार को बेवजह करार आ जाए
(फ़ैज़ अहमद फ़ैज़)
