Yeh dil ka chor ke is ki zaroortain theen bohat,
Wagarna tark-e-taluq ki soortain theen bohat,
Miley to toot roye na khul ke batain keen,
Ke jese ab dilon mein Kudurtain theen bohat,
Bula diye hain tere gham ne dukh zamane ke,
Khuda nahin tha tou pathar ki moortain theen bohat, Read More…
Zahid sharab peene de masjid mein beth kar,
Yaa woh jagha bata jahan Khuda nahin..
(Mirza Ghalib)
Masjid khuda ka ghar hai, peeney ki jagha nahin,
Kaafir ke dil mein ja, Wahan khudaa nahin..
(Allama Iqbal)
Kaafir ke dil se aya hon mein yeh dekh kar,
Khuda maujood hai wahan, Par usey pata nahin..
(Ahmad Faraz)
Barson Ke Baad Dekha Ik Shakhs Dil Ruba Sa
Ab Zehen Main Nahin Hai Par Naam Tha Bhala Sa
Abroo Khinche Khinche Se Aankhain Jhuki Jhuki Si
Batain Ruki Ruki Si Lehaja Thaka Thaka Sa
Alfaaz The Ke Jugnu Awaaz Ke Safar Main
Ban Jaaye Jungalon Main Jis Tarah Raasta Sa
Khwaabon Main Khwaab Us Ke Yaadon Main Yaad Us Ki
Nindon Main Ghul Gaya Ho Jaise Ke Rat Jaga Sa
Pahle Bhi Log Aaye Kitne Hi Zindagi Main
Wo Har Tarah Se Lekin Auron Se Tha Juda Sa
Agli Mohabbaton Ne Wo Naa Muraadiyaan Di
Taaza Rafaaqaton Se Dil Tha Dara Dara Sa
Kuchh Ye Ke Muddaton Se Ham Bhi Nahin The Roye
Kuchh Zahar Main Bujha Tha Ahabaab Ka Dilaasa
Phir Yoon Hua Ke Saawan Aankhon Main Aa Base The
Phir Yoon Hua Ke Jaise Dil Bhi Tha Aablaa Sa
Ab Sach Kahain To Yaaro Ham Ko Khabar Nahin Thi
Ban Jaayega Qayamat Ik Vaaqia Zara Sa
Tewar The Berukhi Ke Andaaz Dosti Ke
Wo Ajnabi Tha Lekin Lagta Tha Aashna Sa
Ham Dasht The Ke Dariya Ham Zahar The Ke Amrit
Naahaq Tha Zonum Ham Ko Jab Vo Nahin Tha Pyasa
Hum Ne Bhi Us Ko Dekhaa Kal Shaam Ittefaaqan
Apana Bhi Haal Hai Ab Logo ‘Faraz’ Ka Sa
Badan Main Aag Si Chehra Gulaab Jaisa Hai
Ke Zahar-E-Gham Ka Nasha Bhi Sharaab Jaisa Hai
Kahaan Wo Qurb Ke Ab To Ye Haal Hai Jaise
Tere Firaaq Ka Aalam Bhi Khwaab Jaisa Hai
Magar Kabhi Koi Dekhe Koi Padhe To Sahi
Dil Aaina Hai To Chehra Kitaab Jaisa Hai
Wo Saamne Hai Magar Tishnagi Nahin Jaati
Ye Kya Sitam Hai Ke Dariya Saraab Jaisa Hai
‘Faraz’ Sang-E-Malaamat Se Zakhm Zakhm Sahi
Hamain Aziz Hai Khana Kharaab Jaisa Hai
Aise Chup Hain Ke Ye Manzil Bhi Kadi Ho Jaise
Tera Milna Bhi Judaai Ki Ghadi Ho Jaise
Apne Hi Saaye Se Har Gaam Laraz Jaata Hoon
Raaste Main Koi Diwar Khadi Ho Jaise
Manzile Door Bhi Hain Manzilen Nazadik Bhi Hain
Apne Hi Paaon Main Zanjir Padi Ho Jaise
Kitne Naada Hain Tere Bhulane Waale Ke Tujhe
Yaad Karne Ke Liye Umar Padi Ho Jaise
Aaj Dil Khol Ke Roye Hain To Yoon Khush Hai ‘Faraz’
Chand Lamhon Ki Ye Raahat Bhi Badi Ho Jaise
Ab Naye Saal Ki Mohlat Nahin Milane Waali
Aa Chuke Ab To Shab-O-Roz Azaabon Waale
Ab To Sab Dashna-O-Khanjar Ki Zubaa Bolate Hain
Ab Kahaan Log Mohabbat Ke Nisaabon Waale
Zinda Rehne Ki Tamanna Ho To Ho Jaate Hain
Faakhtaaon Ke Bhi Kirdaar Uqaabon Waale
Na Mere Zakhm Khile Hain Na Teraa Rang-E-Hina
Mausam Aaye Hi Nahin Ab Ke Gulaabon Waale
Ab Kis Ka Jashn Manaate Ho Us Des Ka Jo Taqsim Hua
Ab Kis Ke Geet Sunaate Ho Us Tan-Man Ka Jo Do-Nim Hua
Us Khwaab Ka Jo Reza Reza Un Aankhon Ki Taqadir Hua
Us Naam Ka Jo Tukada Tukada Galiyon Main Be-Tauqir Hua
Us Parcham Ka Jis Ki Hurmat Baazaron Main Nilaam Hui
Us Mitti Ka Jis Ki Hurmat Mansoob Udu Ke Naam Hui
Us Jung Ko Jo Tum Har Chuke Us Rasm Ka Jo Jaari Bhi Nahin
Us Zakhm Ka Jo Seene Pe Na Tha Us Jaan Ka Jo Vaari Bhi Nahin
Us Khoon Ka Jo Bad Qismat Tha Raahon Main Bahaya Tan Main Raha
Us Phool Ka Jo Be-Qeemat Tha Aangan Main Khila Ya Ban Main Raha
Us Mashriq Ka Jis Ko Tum Ne Neze Ki Ani Marham Samajha
Us Magarib Ka Jis Ko Tum Ne Jitana Bhi Lutaa Kam Samajha
Un Masoomon Ka Jin Ke Lahoo Se Tum Ne Farozaan Raate Ki
Ya Un Mazaloomo Ka Jis Se Khanjar Ki Zuba Main Baatain Ki
Us Mariyam Ka Jis Ki Iffat Lutati Hai Bhare Baazaron Main
Us Isa Ka Jo Qaatil Hai Aur Shaamil Hai Gam Khvaaron Main
In Nauhaagaron Ka Jin Ne Hamain Khud Qatl Kiya Khud Rote Hain
Aise Bhi Kahin Dam Saaz Hue Aise Jallaad Bhi Hote Hain
Un Bhooke Nange Dhaanchon Ka Jo Raqs Sar-E-Bazar Kare
Ya Un Zaalim Qazzaaqon Ka Jo Bhes Badal Kar Vaar Kare
Ya Un Jhoote Iqaraaron Ka Jo Aaj Talak Aifa Na Hue
Ya Un Bebas Laachaaron Ka Jo Aur Bhi Dukh Ka Nishaana Hue
Is Shaahi Ka Jo Dast-Ba-Dast Aai Hai Tumhaare Hisse Main
Kyon Nang-E-Vatan Ki Baat Karo Kya Rakha Hai Is Qisse Main
Aankhon Main Chupaaye Ashkon Ko Honthon Main Wafa Ke Bol Liye
Is Jashn Main Bhi Shaamil Hoon Nauhon Se Bhara Kashkol Liye
Ab Ke Tajdid-E-Wafa Ka Nahin Imkaan Jaana
Yaad Kya Tujh Ko Dilaaye Tera Paimaan Jaana
Yuun Hi Mausam Ki Adaa Dekh Ke Yaad Aaya Hai
Kis Qadar Jald Badal Jaate Hain Insaan Jaana
Zindagi Teri Ataa Thi So Tere Naam Ki Hai
Ham Ne Jaise Bhi Basar Ki Tera Ehsaa.N Jaana
Dil Ye Kehta Hai Ki Shayad Ho Fasurda Tu Bhi
Dil Ki Kya Baat Karain Dil To Hai Nadaan Jaana
Awwal-Awwal Ki Mohabbat Ke Nashe Yaad To Kar
Be-Piye Bhi Tera Chehra Tha Gulistaan Jaana
Aakhir Aakhir To Ye Aalam Hai Ki Ab Hosh Nahin
Rag-E-Mina Sulag Uthii Ki Rag-E-Jaan Jaana
Muddaton Se Ye Aalam Na Tavaqqo Na Ummid
Dil Pukare Hi Chala Jaata Hai Jaana Jaana
Ham Bhi Kya Sada The Ham Ne Bhi Samajh Rakha Tha
Gam-E-Dauraa Se Juda Hai Gam-E-Jaana Jaana
Ab Ki Kuchh Aisi Saji Mahafil-E-Yaaran Jaana
Sar-Ba-Zaanu Hai Koi Sar-Ba-Girebaan Jaana
Har Koi Apani Hi Awaaz Se Kaanp Uthta Hai
Har Koi Apne Hi Saaye Se Hiraasan Jaana
Jis Ko Dekho Wahi Zanjir-Ba-Paa Lagata Hai
Shahar Ka Shahar Hua Dakhil-E-Zindaan Jaana
Ab Tera Zikr Bhi Shayad Hi Ghazal Main Aaye
Aur Se Aur Hua Dard Ka Unvaan Jaana
Ham Ki Roothi Hui Rut Ko Bhi Mana Lete The
Ham Ne Dekhaa Hi Na Tha Mausam-E-Hijraan Jaana
Hosh Aaya To Sabhi Khuwab The Rezaa-Rezaa
Jaise Udte Huye Auraaq-E-Pareshaan Jaana
Ab Ke Rut Badli To Khushboo Ka Safar Dekhega Kaun
Zakhm Phoolon Ki Tarah Mahkenge Par Dekhegaa Kaun
Dekhna Sab Raqs-E-Bismal Main Magan Ho Jaayenge
Jis Taraf Se Tir Aayega Udhar Dekhega Kaun
Wo Hawas Ho Ya Wafa Ho Baat Maharumi Ki Hai
Log To Phal-Phool Dekhenge Shajar Dekhegaa Kaun
Ham Chiraag-E-Shab Hi Jab Thahre To Phir Kya Sochna
Raat Thi Kis Ka Muqaddar Aur Sahar Dekhega Kaun
Aa Fasil-E-Shahar Se Dekhen Ganim-E-Shahar Ko
Shahar Jalta Ho To Tujh Ko Baam Par Dekhegaa Kaun
Ab Ke Ham Bichhde To Shaayad Kabhi Khwaabon Main Mile
Jis Tarah Sukhe Hue Phool Kitaabon Main Mile
Dhoond Ujade Hue Logon Main Wafaa Ke Moti
Ye Khazaane Tujhe Mumkin Hai Kharaabon Main Mile
Tu Khuda Hai Na Mera Ishq Farishton Jaisa
Dono Insaan Hain To Kyon Itne Hijaabon Main Mile
Gham-E-Duniya Bhi Gham-E-Yaar Main Shaamil Kar Lo
Nasha Badata Hai Sharabain Jo Sharabon Main Mile
Aaj Ham Daar Pe Khenche Gaye Jin Baaton Par
Kya Ajab Kal Wo Zamaane Ko Nisaabon Main Mile
Ab Na Wo Main Hoon Na Tu Hai Na Wo Maazi Hai `Faraz’,
Jaise Do Shakhs Tamanna Ke Saraabon Maim Mile
