dost ban kar bhii nahiin saath nibhaanevaalaa
vahii andaaz hai zaalim kaa zamaanevaalaa
ab ise log samajhate hain giraftaar meraa
saKht nadiim hai mujhe daam mein laanevaalaa
kyaa kahen kitane maraasim the hamaare is se
vo jo ik shaKhs hai muuNh pher ke jaanevaalaa
tere hote hue aa jaatii thii saarii duniyaa
aaj tanhaa huu.N to ko_ii nahiin aanevaalaa
muntazir kis kaa huuN TuuTii hu_ii dahaliiz pe main
kaun aayegaa yahaaN kaun hai aanevaalaa
main ne dekhaa hai bahaaron mein chaman ko jalate
hai ko_ii Khvaab kii taabiir bataanevaalaa
kyaa Khabar thii jo merii jaan mein ghulaa hai itanaa
hai vahii mujh ko sar-e-daar bhii laane vaalaa
tum taqalluf ko bhii iKhalaas samajhate ho 'Faraz'
dost hotaa nahiin har haath milaanevaalaa
vahii andaaz hai zaalim kaa zamaanevaalaa
ab ise log samajhate hain giraftaar meraa
saKht nadiim hai mujhe daam mein laanevaalaa
kyaa kahen kitane maraasim the hamaare is se
vo jo ik shaKhs hai muuNh pher ke jaanevaalaa
tere hote hue aa jaatii thii saarii duniyaa
aaj tanhaa huu.N to ko_ii nahiin aanevaalaa
