Na intazaar ke lazzat na aarzu ke thakan

Na intazaar ke lazzat na aarzu ke thakan
Bujhi hain dard ke shamein, k so gya hy badan

Sulag rahi hain na jany, kis aanch se aankhein
Na aansooan ke talab hy, na rat jago’N ke thakan

Dil-e-freb zada, dawat-e-nazar pe na ja
Yeh aj k qad-o-gaisoo hain, kal k dar-o-rasan

Bahar-e-qurb se pehly, ujaarh deti hain
Judaion ke hawain, mahabbato’N k chaman

Phir aaj shab tery kadmo’N ke chaap k humraah
Sunai de hy dil-e-na muraad ke dharkan

Yeh zulm dekh k tu jaan-e-shairi hy magar
Meri ghazal mein tera naam bhi hy jurm-e-sukhan

Ameer-e-shehar, ghareebo’N ko loot leta hy
Kabhi ba heela-e-mazhab, kabhi ba naam-e-watan

Hawa-e-dehar se dil ka chiragh kya bujhta
Magar FARAZ salamat hy, yaar ka daaman
