Sab Qareene Usi Dildaar Ke Rakh Dete Hain

Sab qareenay, usi dildaar ke, rakh dete haiN

Hum ghazal men bhi hunar yaar ke rakh dete haiN

Shayad ajayeN kabhi chachm e khariidar men hum

Jan O dil biich mein bazaar ke rakh dete haiN

Zikr e janaN mein yeh duniya ko kahaN le aaye

Log kyuN mas’alay bekaar ke rakh dete haiN

Zindagii teri amaanat hai magar kya kijiye

Log yeh bojh bhi thak haar ke rakh dete haiN

Hum to chahat men bhi ghalib ke muqallid hain ‘Faraz’
Jis pe marte haiN use maar ke rakh dete haiN

main ne to sab hisaab-e-jaan barsar-e-aam rakh diyaa

us ne sukuut-e-shab main bhii apanaa payaam rakh diyaa
hijr kii raat baam par maah-e-tamaam rakh diyaa


aamad-e-dost kii naviid kuu-e-vafaa main aam thii
main ne bhii ik chiraaG-saa dil sar-e-shaam rakh diyaa


dekho ye mere Khvaab the dekho ye mere zaKhm hain
main ne to sab hisaab-e-jaan barsar-e-aam rakh diyaa


us ne nazar nazar main hii aise bhale suKhan kahe
main ne to us ke paanon main saaraa kalaam rakh diyaa


shiddat-e-tishnagii main bhii Gairat-e-maikashii rahii
us ne jo pher lii nazar main ne bhii jaam rakh diya


aur 'Faraz' chaahiiye kitanii muhabbatain tujhe
ke maaon ne tere naam par bachchon ka naam rakh diyaa
