Zindagi par is se badhkar tanz kya hoga Faraz,
Uska ye kehana ki tu shaayar hai, deewana nahin.
Wo zindagi ho ki duniya Faraz kya kije,
Ki jisse ishq karo bewafa nikalti hai.
Jee mein jo aati hai kar gujaron kahin aisa na ho,
Kal pasheman hon ki kyon dil ka kaha maana nahin.
Tum taqalluf ko bhi ikhlaas samjhte ho ‘Faraz’,
Dost hota nahin har haath milaane waala.
Jab bhi dil khol ke roye honge,
log aaram se soye honge,
Wo safeene jinhein toofaan na mile,
nakhudaaon ne dubooye honge.
Ungaliyaan aaj tak isi soch mein gum hai ‘Faraz’,
Usne kaise naye haath ko thaama hoga.
Ghar se nikale the ki duniya ne pukara tha ‘Faraz’,
Ab jo fursat mile duniya se to ghar jaayen kahin.
Jhele hain jo dukh tune ‘Faraz’ apni jagah hain,
Par tum pe jo gujari hai wo auron se kam hai.
Kitna aasaan tha tere hizra mein marna jaana,
Phir bhi ik umar lagi jaan se jaate jaate.
Itna tasalsul to meri saanson mein bhi nahin Faraz,
Jis rawaani se wo shakhs mujhe yaad aata hai.
