Tujhse bicchaRh ke ham bhii muqaddar ke ho gaye,
phir jo bhii dar mila hai usii dar ke ho gaye,
phir yu’n hu’aa ke Ghair ko dil se lagaa liyaa,
andar vo nafrate’n thii’n ke baahar ke ho gaye,
kyaa log the ke jaan se baRh kar aziiz the,
ab dil se mahv naam bhii aksar ke ho gaye,
ai yaad-e-yaar tujh se kare’n kyaa shikaayate’n,
ai dard-e-hijr hum bhii to patthar ke ho gaye,
samjhaa rahe the mujh ko sabhii nasehaan-e-shehar,
phir raftaa raftaa Khud usii kaafir ke ho gaye,
ab ke na intizaar kare’n chaaragar kaa ham,
ab ke gaye to kuu-e-sitamgar ke ho gaye,
rote ho ek jaziira-e-jaa’n ko “Faraz” tum,
dekho to kitne shah’r samandar ke ho gaye.
