usko juda hue bhi zamana bahut hua

na mere zaKHm khile hain na tera rang-e-hina

faraaz ishq ki duniya to KHub-surat thi

bhari bahaar mein ek shaKH par khila hai gulab

hawa mein nashsha hi nashsha faza mein rang hi rang

so dekh kar tere ruKHsar o lab yaqin aaya

yunhi mausam ki ada dekh ke yaad aaya hai

ba-zahir ek hi shab hai firaq-e-yar magar

ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhane ke liye aa

teri baaten hi sunane aae

zindagi par is se baDh kar tanz kya hoga faraaz

faraaz tere junun ka KHayal hai warna

jo ghair the wo isi baat par hamare hue

sitam to ye hai ki zalim suKHan-shanas nahin

shikwa-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahin behtar tha
