kyaa aise kam-suKhan se ko’ii guftaguu kare
jo mustaqil sukuut se dil ko lahuu kare
ab tau hameN bhi tark-e-maraasim kaa dukh nahiiN
par dil ye chaaHtaa hai ke aaghaaz tuu kare
tere baGhair bhi tau Ghaneemat hai zindagii
Khud ko gaNwaa ke kaun terii justujuu kare
ab tau ye aarzuu hai ke wo zakhm khaa’iye
taa-zindagi ye dil na ko’ii aarzuu kare
tujh ko bhulaa ke dil hai wo sharminda-e-nazar
ab ko’ii hadisaa hi tere ru-ba-ruu kare
chup chaap apni aag meiN jalte raho “Faraz”
duniyaa tau Gharz-e-haal se be-aabruu kare
ab ke ham bichhRe to shaayad kabhii KhvaaboN meN mileN
jis tarah suukhe hu’e phuul kitaaboN meN mileN
DhuuNDh ujRe hu’e logoN meN vafaa ke motii
ye Khazaane tujhe mumkin hai KharaaboN meN mileN
tuu Khudaa hai na meraa ishq farishtoN jaisaa
donoN insaaN haiN to kyuN itne hijaaboN meN mileN
Gham-e-duniyaa bhii Gham-e-yaar meN shaamil kar lo
nashaa baRhtaa hai sharabeN jo sharaaboN meN mileN
aaj ham daar pe kheNche gaye jin baatoN par
kyaa ajab kal vo zamaane ko nisaaboN meN mileN
ab na vo maiN huN na tuu hai na vo maazii hai “Faraaz”
jaise do saaye tamannaa ke saraaboN meN mileN
