silsile toḌ gayā vo sabhī jaate jaate
varna itne to marāsim the ki aate jaate
shikva-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahīñ behtar thā
apne hisse kī koī sham.a jalāte jaate
kitnā āsāñ thā tire hijr meñ marnā jānāñ
phir bhī ik umr lagī jaan se jaate jaate
jashn-e-maqtal hī na barpā huā varna ham bhī
pā-ba-jaulāñ hī sahī nāchte gaate jaate
is kī vo jaane use pās-e-vafā thā ki na thā
tum 'farāz' apnī taraf se to nibhāte jaate
