Jub Bhee Dil Khol Ke Roye Honge Loog Aaraam Se Soye Honge
Baaz Auqaat Ba Majboori-e-Dil Hum Tou Kia Aap Bhee Roye Honge
Subha Tak Dast-e-Sabaa Ne Kia Kia Phool Kaanton Mein Piroye Honge
Wo Safeenay Jinhain Toofan Na Milay Na-Khudaon Ne Duboyein Honge
Kya Ajab Hai Wo Milay Bhee Hon “Faraz” Hum Kisi Dehaan Mein Khoye Honge

Phir Toot Ke Ronay Ki Rut Aayi Hai Phir Se Dilon Ke Zakham Nikhartay Jaatay Hain
Jhooti Sachi Taabeeron Ki Khwaahish Hai Kaisay Kaisay Khwaab Bikhartay Jaatay Hain
Kaisay Kaisay Yaaron Ka Behroop Khula Kaisay Kaisay Khoul Utartay Jaatay Hain
In Haalon Kab Apnay Aap Ko Dekha Tha ? Kehnay Ko Din Raat Guzartay Jaatay Hain
Raahgeeron Ki Khamooshi Ko Gour Se Sun, Yun Hai Jaisay Maatam Kartay Jaatay Hain
Kubhi Kubhi Koi Aisa Musaafir Aata Hai Rastay Apnay Aap Sanwartay Jaatay Hain
Sheher-e-Ghazal Ki Galyon Mein Dilgeer Tere Tujh Se Teri Baatain Kartay Jaatay Hain
Zakhm ko phul to sar sar ko saba kahte hain Jane kya daur hai kya log hain kya kahte hain
Kya qayamat hai ke jin ke liye ruk ruk ke chale Ab vahi log hamain abalapa kahte hain
Koi batalao ke ik umr ka bichara mahabub Ittefaqan kahin mil jaye to kya kahte hain
Ye bhi andaz-e-sukhan hai ke jafa ko teri Gamza-o-ishva-o-andaz-o-ada kahte hain
Jab talak dur hai tu teri parastish kar lain Ham jise chu na sakain us ko khuda kahte hain
Kya tajjub hai ke ham ahl-e-tamanna ko ‘faraz’ Wo jo maharum-e-tamanna hain bura kahte hain

Ye kyaa ke sab se bayaan dil ki haalaten karani `Faraz` tujh ko na aain muhabbaten karani
Ye qurb kyaa hai ke tuu saamane hai aur hamen Shumaar abhi se judaai ki sa`aten karani
Koi khudaa ho ke patthar jise bhi ham chaahen Tamaam umr usi ki ibaadaten karani
Sab apane apanee qarine se muntazir us ke Kisi ko shukr kisi ko shikaayaten karani
Ham apane dil se hain majabuur aur logon ko Zaraa si baat pe barpaa qayaamaten karani
Milen jab un se to mubaham si guftaguu karanaa Phir apane aap se sau–sau vazaahaten karani
Ye log kaise magar dushmani nibhaaten hain Hamin ko raas na aain muhabbaten karani
Kabhi `faraz` naye mausamon men ro denaa Kabhi talaash puraani raqaabaten karani…!!!!
Karoon na yaad magar kistrah bhulaoon ussay, Ghazal bahana karoon aur gungunaoon ussay,
Wo khaar khaar hay shakh-e-gulab ki manind, Main zakhm zakhm hon magar galay lagaoon ussay,
Yeah loog tazkaray kartay hain apnay logon k, Main kaisay baat karon, Ab kahan say laoon ussay,
Magar wo zood-faramoosh zood-runj bhi hay, K rooth jayay, Agur yaad kuch dilaoon ussay,
Jo humsafar sar-e-manzil bichar raha hay faraz, Ajjab nahi hay, agur yaad bhi na aaon ussay…!
Dukh fasana nahi k tujh se kahain Dil bhi mana nahi k tujh se kahain,
Ek tu harf aashna tha magar Ab zamana nahi k tujh se kahain,
Ae khuda dard e dil hai bakhshish e dost Aab o daanaa nahi k tujh se kahain
Be tarah haal e dil hai aur tujh se Dostana nahi k tujh se kahain
Qasidaa hum faqeer logon ka Ek thikana nahi k tujh se kahain
Ab to barson se us gali men FaRAZ Aana jaana nahi k tujh se kahain
Phool Shaak Se Bichre To Kaheen Ka Nahi Rehta “Faraz” Tum Khud Ko Juda Meri Zaat Se Soch K Karna………
dil-girafta hi sahi bazm saja li jae
yaad-e-jaanan se koi sham na Khaali jae
rafta rafta yahi zindan men badal jate hain
ab kisi shahr ki buniyaad na Dali jae
mushaf-e-ruKH hai kisi ka ki bayaz-e-hafiz
aise chehre se kabhi fal nikali jae
wo murawwat se mila hai to jhuka dun gardan
mere dushman ka koi war na Khaali jae
be-nawa shahr ka saya hai mere dil pe faraaz
kis tarah se meri aashufta-KHayali jae
