dost ban kar bhii nahiin saath nibhane wala

vahii andaaz hai zaalim kaa zamaanevaalaa

ab ise log samajhate hain giraftaar meraa

saKht nadiim hai mujhe daam main laanevaalaa

kyaa kahain kitane maraasim the hamaare is se

wo jo ik shaKhs hai monh pher ke jaanevaalaa

tere hote hue aa jaatii thii saarii duniyaa

aaj tanhaa hon to koii nahiin aanevaalaa

muntazir kis kaa hon TuuTii huii dahaliiz pe main

kaun aayegaa yahaan kaun hai aanevaalaa

main ne dekhaa hai bahaaron main chaman ko jalate

hai koii Khvaab kii taabiir bataanevaalaa

kyaa Khabar thii jo merii jaan main ghulaa hai itanaa

hai vahii mujh ko sar-e-daar bhii laane vaalaa

tum taqalluf ko bhii iKhalaas samajhate ho ‘Faraz’

dost hotaa nahiin har haath milaanevaalaa
