wo roz-o-shab bhi nahin hain wo rang-o-bu bhi nahin
vo roz-o-shab bhī nahīñ haiñ vo rañg-o-bū bhī nahīñ
vo bazm-e-jām-o-subū bhī nahīñ vo tū bhī nahīñ
na dil dhaḌakte haiñ mil kar na āñkheñ jhuktī haiñ
lahū kī gardisheñ ab misl-e-ābjū bhī nahīñ
kabhī kabhī kī mulāqāt thī sau vo bhī ga.ī
tirī nigāh kā rañg-e-bahāna-jū bhī nahīñ
kab āftāb Dhale aur chāñdnī chhiTke
kisī ko ab ye sar-e-shām justujū bhī nahīñ
bas ab to yaad se hī zindagī ibārat hai
kahāñ kā va.ada ki milne kī aarzū bhī nahīñ
ki jaise bhīge paroñ se uḌāneñ chhin jaa.eñ
diloñ kī sozish-e-be-nām kū-ba-kū bhī nahīñ
vo jis kī garmī qayāmat uThā rahī thī kabhī
usī badan ko jo kaaTo to ab lahū bhī nahīñ
lagī hai tiis baras se hamāre ḳhuuñ kī jhaḌī
magar abhī shajar-e-dār surḳh-rū bhī nahīñ
maiñ sochtā huuñ ji.eñ bhī to kis liye 'fāriġh'
ki ab to shahr meñ pahlī sī aabrū bhī nahīñ
wo roz-o-shab bhi nahin hain wo rang-o-bu bhi nahin
wo bazm-e-jam-o-subu bhi nahin wo tu bhi nahin
na dil dhaDakte hain mil kar na aankhen jhukti hain
lahu ki gardishen ab misl-e-abju bhi nahin
kabhi kabhi ki mulaqat thi sau wo bhi gai
teri nigah ka rang-e-bahana-ju bhi nahin
kab aaftab Dhale aur chandni chhiTke
kisi ko ab ye sar-e-sham justuju bhi nahin
bas ab to yaad se hi zindagi ibarat hai
kahan ka wada ki milne ki aarzu bhi nahin
ki jaise bhige paron se uDanen chhin jaen
dilon ki sozish-e-be-nam ku-ba-ku bhi nahin
wo jis ki garmi qayamat uTha rahi thi kabhi
usi badan ko jo kaTo to ab lahu bhi nahin
lagi hai tis baras se hamare KHun ki jhaDi
magar abhi shajar-e-dar surKH-ru bhi nahin
main sochta hun jien bhi to kis liye 'farigh'
ki ab to shahr mein pahli si aabru bhi nahin
