Dil munaafiq tha shab-e-hijar main soya kaisa
Aur jab tuj say mila toot kay roya kaisa

Zindaghy maiN bhi ghazal hi ka kareena rakha
Khawab dar khawab teray gham ko paroya kaisa

Ab toH chehruN pay bhi katbuH ka ghumaaN hota hai
AankhaiN pathraey hoi haiN lab-e-goya kaisa

Dekh ab qurb ka mousam bhi na sar sabz laghay
Hijar hi hijar marasim main samoya kaisa


Aik aansoo tha kay dariya-e-nidamat tha FARAZ
Dil say baibaak shanawar ko daboya kaisa
