Yun dil se kisi dard ka payma nahi kertay
Ab jaan pay bani bhi hai to darma nahi kertay

Hum ser e chak wafa hain our tar e dast hunar
Hum teer ko paywast e rag e jaan nahi kertay

Ye masla ab ahele mohabat ka hai apna
Martay hain to kuch ap pay ahsaan nahi kertay

Khat laye na laye tera hum khana bharo ka
Bus dekhtay rahtay hain paryshan nahi kertay

Aysa bhi to rakhtay nahi khanjar galo ko
Itna bhi to qatil ko pashyma nahi kertay

Kab shamain jalata hai shab e mah main koi
Tu aye to hum ghar main charagha nahi kertay

Logo ko guma tak nahi hota hai jano ka
Hum dil ki tarah chak e gireba nahi kertay

Hum taj k chalay atay hain yaroo dar e jana
Ghalib ki tarah minat e darban nahi kertay

Hum charagho ko to tareeki se larna hai faraz
Ghul hoye per sobo k asar ban jayen gay hum

Ye jo sir gashta se phirtay hain kitabo walay
Is se mat mil k inhain roog hain khawabo walay

Ab mah o saal ki mohlat nahi milnay wali
Aa chukay ab to shabo roz azaabo walay

Ab to sub dashna o khanjar ki zoban boltay hain
Ab kaha log mohabat k nisabo walay

Jo dilo per he kabhi naqab zani kertay thay
Ab gharo tak chalay aye wo log naqabo walay

Zinda rahany ki tmana ho to ho jaye hain
Fakhtao k bhi kirdar aqabo walay

Na mery zakham khilay hain na tera rang e hina
Ab k mosam he nahi aye gulabo walay

Yun to lagta hai k qismat k sikandar hai Faraz
JO sharaf hum ko mila kocha e jana se Faraz

Wahshtain barhti gayi hijar k azar k sath
Ab to hum baat bhi kartay nahi gham khawar k sath

Hum ne ik umer basar ki hai gham e yaar k sath
Meer do din na jiye hijar k azar k sath

Ab to hum ghar se nikaltay hain to rakh dete hain
Taaq par izat e sadat bhi dastar k sath

Is qadar khof hai shahar ki galiyo main k loog
Chaap suntay hain to lag jatay hain diwar k sath

Aik to khawab liye phirtay ho galiyon galiyon
Is pay taqrar bhi kartay ho kharidar k sath

Shahar k shahar he nasih ho to kaya kijiye ga
Warna hum rand to phir jatay hain do chaar k sath

Hum ko is shahar main tameer ka soda hai jaha
Log momar ko chun dete hain diwar k sath

Magar andaz hain sub khana kharabo walay
Soye motaqtal bhi gaye hain isi pandar k sath

Tishngi ankhon main our dariya khayalo main rahay
Hum nawa ghar khush rahay jese bhi halo main rahay

Is qadaq duniya k dukh ay khubsorat zindgi
Jis traha titli koi makri k jaaloo main rahay

Dekhna ay rah noor de shooq koye  e yaar tak
Kuch na kuch rang e hina pao k chalo main rahay

Hum se kiyn mangay hisaab jaan koi jab umer bhar
Kon hain kaya hain kaha hain is sawalo main rahay

Badzani aysi k ghayro ki wafa bhi khot thi
Soye zan aysa k hum apno ki chalo main rahay

Aik duniya ko meri diwangi khush a gai
Yaar maktab ki kitabo k hawalay rahay

Ik mudat se milay nahi hain yaar mera our main
Phir bhi hum ahad e mohabat ki milalo main rahay

Suna hai log usay ankh bhar k dekhtay hain
So us k shahar main kuch din thahr k dekhtay hain

Suna hai rabt hai is ko kharab halo se
So apnay ap ko barbad ker k dekhtay hain

Suna hai dard ki gahak hai chashm e naz us ki
So hum bhi us ki gali se ghuzr ke dekhtay hain

Suna hai us ko bhi shyro shayeri ka shaghaf
So hum bhi mujzay apnay hunar k dekhtay hain

Suna hai bolay to bato se phol jhartay hain
Ye baat hai to chalo baat ker k dekhtay hain

Suna hai raat usay chand takta rahta hai
Sitaray baam e falak se utar ker dekhtay hain

Suna hai din ko isay titliyan satati hain
Suna hai raat ko jugno guzar ker dekhtay hain

Suna hai hashar main is ki ghazal c ankhain
Suna hai is ko hirno dashat bhar k dekhtay hain

Suna hain raat se barh ke hain kaklain is ki
Suna hai shaam ko saye guzar k dekhtay hain

Saya e chasham to dekhay hain per na aysay bhi
K is ko surma faroosh aah bhar k dekhtay hain

Suna hai is k labo se ghulab jaltay hain
So hum bahar pay ilzam thar k dekhtay hain

Suna hai ayena tamsaal hai jabeen us ki
Jo sada dil hai usay ban sanwar k dekhtay hain

Suna hai jab se hamayl hain us ki gardan main
Mizaj our he laal o gahar k dekhtay hain

So saro qad hai magar bay gul e murad nahi
K is shajar pay shagupay samar k dekhtay hain

Nazar uthay to ye samjo k deen o dil to gaye
So rahwan e tamana bhi dar k dekhtay hain

Suna hai us ki shabasta se mutsal hai bahshat
Makeen udar k bhi jalway idar k dekhtay hain

Rukay to dardishain is k tawaf kerti hain
Chalay to is ko zamanay thahar k dekhtay hain

Kisay naseeb k bay payrhan usay dekhay
Kabhi kabhi dar o diwar ghar k dekhtay hain

Kahaniya he sahi sab mubalghay he sahi
Agar wo khawab hai tabeer ker k dekhtay hain

Ab is shahar main thahrain k kooch ker jayen
Faraz aao sitaray safar k dekhtay hain

Shayar apna he jis ka bahana sazi tha
Wo mere jhot pay khush tha na such pay razi tha

Tamam umer usi k rahay ye kaya kam hai
Bala se ishq haqiqi na tha majazi tha

Ye do dilo ki qurbat bari gawahi hai
So kaya hoya koi shahad na koi qazi tha

Na tanz ker k kai baar keh choka tuj se
Wo meri pahli mohabat to mera mazi tha

Na dost yar na nasih na nama bar na raqeeb
Bila kashan e mohabat se kon razi tha

Ye ghul shuda c jo shamain dikhai deti hain
Hunar in ankhon k agay sitara sazi tha

Ado k samne hathayar dalnay wala
Koi Faraz sa kafir nahi tha ghazi tha

Share e mohabat hijar ka mosam ahade wafa our main
To tu is basti se khush khush chala gaya our main

Tu jo na ho to jese sub ko chup lag jati hai
Apas main kaya batain kertay raat diya our main

Sere chaman adat thi pahalay ab majbori hai
Teri talash main chal partay haim baad e saba our main

Jis ko dekho teri hawa main pagal phirta hai
Warna hum mushrob to nahi thay khalaq e Khuda our main

Aik to wo hamraz mera hai phir tera madah
Bus tera he zikar kiya kartay hain zaya our main

Aik zamanay bad faraz ye shyer kahay main ne
Ishq main duniya ghanwai hai na jaan di hai Faraz

Phir tere na anay ki khabar shaam main i
Zahar ab ki  talkhi si mere jaam main i

Ay kash pora na ho koi bhi mera arman
Ye our tamna dil e nakam main ki i

Kaya kaya na ghazal us ki judai main kahi hai
Barbadi e jaan bhi to kisi kaam main i

Kab main gham e doran mujay fatraak main rakha
Akhir ko to doniya bhi mere doyam main i

Kal shaam k tha shekh e harm sahib e mahfil
Sehba ki pari jama e ahram main i

Her chand Faraz aik faqeer sar e rah hun
Per mumlikat e harf mere naam main i

Naahi k nama baro ko talash kertay hain
Hum apnay bay khabro ko talash kertay hain

Mohabto ka bhi mosam hai jab guzar jaye
Sub apnay apnay gharo ko talash kertay hain

Suna hai kal jinhain dastar e iftikhar mili
Wo aaj apnay saro ko talash kertay hain

Ye ishq kaya hai k izhar e arzo k liye
Hareef noha garo ko talash kertay hain

Ye hum jo dhondhtay phirtay hain qatil gaho ko
Darasal chah garo ko talash kertay hain

Raha hoye pay ajab haal hai aseero ka
K ab wo apnay paroo ko talash kertay hain

Faraz waad k qabil hai justajo un ki
Jo hum se dar badaro ko talash kertay hain

Na shabo roz he badlatay hain na  haal acha hai
Kis barhman ne kaha tha k ye saal acha hai

Hum k dono k gariftaar rahay jantay hain
Dame duniya se kahin zulf ka jaal acha hai

Maine pocha tha k akhir ye taghaful kab tak
Muskuratay hoye bolay k sawal acha hai

Dil na many bhi to aysa hai k gahay gahay
Yaar e bay faiz se halka sa malal acha hai

Laztain qurb o juda ki hain apni apni
Mustaqil hijar he acha hai na widal acha hai

Rahwan e rah ulfat ka muqadar maloom
In ka aghaz he acha na maal acha hai

Dosti apni jaga per ya haqeeqat hai Faraz
Teri ghazlo se kahin tera ghazaal acha hai
