har aashna mein kahan KHu-e-mehrmana wo
har āshnā meñ kahāñ ḳhū-e-mehrmāna vo
ki bevafā thā magar dost thā purānā vo
pukārte haiñ mah-o-sāl manziloñ kī tarah
lagā hai tausn-e-hastī ko tāziyāna vo
hameñ bhī ġham-talabī kā nahīñ rahā yaarā
tire bhī rañg nahīñ gardish-e-zamāna vo
ab apnī ḳhvāhisheñ kyā kyā use rulātī haiñ
ye baat ham ne kahī thī magar na maanā vo
yahī kaheñge ki bas sūrat-āshnā.ī thī
jo ahd TuuT chukā yaad kyā dilānā vo
is ek shakl meñ kyā kyā na sūrateñ dekhīñ
nigār thā nazar aayā nigār-ḳhāna vo
bujhā diyā hai tujhe bhī 'farāz' duniyā ne
kahāñ gayā tirā har vaqt muskurānā vo
har aashna mein kahan KHu-e-mehrmana wo
ki bewafa tha magar dost tha purana wo
pukarte hain mah-o-sal manzilon ki tarah
laga hai tausn-e-hasti ko taziyana wo
hamein bhi gham-talabi ka nahin raha yara
tere bhi rang nahin gardish-e-zamana wo
ab apni KHwahishen kya kya use rulati hain
ye baat hum ne kahi thi magar na mana wo
yahi kahenge ki bas surat-ashnai thi
jo ahd TuT chuka yaad kya dilana wo
is ek shakl mein kya kya na suraten dekhin
nigar tha nazar aaya nigar-KHana wo
bujha diya hai tujhe bhi 'faraaz' duniya ne
kahan gaya tera har waqt muskurana wo
