pukaarate rahe mahafuuz kishtiyo.n vaale
mai.n Duubataa huaa dariyaa ke paar utar bhii gayaa
ab ehatiyaat kii diivaar kyaa uThaate ho
jo chor dil me.n chhupaa thaa vo kaam kar bhii gayaa

ko_ii to merii tarah thaa jo daar par bhii gayaa
sulagate sochate viiraa.N mausamo.n kii tarah
ka.Daa thaa ahad-e-javaanii magar guzar bhii gayaa
jise bhulaa na sakaa us ko yaad kyaa rakhataa
jo naam dil me.n rahaa zehan se utar bhii gayaa

magar falak kii adaavat usii ke ghar se na thii
jahaa.N ‘Faraz’ na thaa sail-e-Gam udhar bhii gayaa
