lo phir tire labon pe usi bevafaa kaa zikr — Ahmad Faraz

sunaa hai log use aankh bhar ke dekhte hain
so us ke shahr mein kuchh din Thahar ke dekhte hain

TuuTaa to huun magar abhi bikhraa nahin 'faraaz'
mere badan pe jaise shikaston kaa jaal ho

'faraaz' ishq ki duniyaa to khub-surat thi
ye kis ne fitna-e-hijr-o-visaal rakkhaa hai

judaaiyaan to muqaddar hain phir bhi jaan-e-safar
kuchh aur duur zaraa saath chal ke dekhte hain

zindagi teri ataa thi so tire naam ki hai
ham ne jaise bhi basar ki tiraa ehsaan jaanaan

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

fareb-e-saaqi-e-mahfil na puchhiye 'majruh'
sharaab ek hai badle hue hain paimaane

khudaa ke naam pe kyaa kyaa fareb dete hain
zamaana-saaz ye rahbar bhi main bhi duniyaa bhi

vaqt hotaa hai bevafaa yaaro
aadmi bevafaa nahin hotaa

hasti kaa zarra zarra taaraaj kar diyaa hai
us bevafaa ki khaatir us bevafaa ke gham mein

umr bhar us ne bevafaai ki
umr se bhi vo baa-vafaa na rahaa

dekh saktaa huun binaa chashme ke main
dost teri bevafaai saaf saaf
