Dost ban kar bhii nahiin saath nibhaanevaalaa

Dost ban kar bhii nahiin saath nibhaanevaalaa
vahii andaaz hai zaalim kaa zamaanevaalaa


ab ise log samajhate hain giraftaar meraa
saKht nadiim hai mujhe daam men laanevaalaa


kyaa kahen kitane maraasim the hamaare is se
vo jo ik shaKhs hai muunh pher ke jaanevaalaa


tere hote hue aa jaatii thii saarii duniyaa
aaj tanhaa huuN to koii nahiin aanevaalaa


muntazir kis kaa huuN TuuTii huii dahaliiz pe main
kaun aayegaa yahaaN kaun hai aanevaalaa


main ne dekhaa hai bahaaron men chaman ko jalate
hai koii Khvaab kii taabiir bataanevaalaa


kyaa Khabar thii jo merii jaan men ghulaa hai itanaa
hai vahii mujh ko sar-e-daar bhii laane vaalaa


tum taqalluf ko bhii iKhalaas samajhate ho 'Faraz'
dost hotaa nahii.n har haath milaanevaalaa
