aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
1931 - 2008 | Islamabad, Pakistan
Widely celebrated and sung Urdu poet. Rose to iconic stature through his seductively romantic and anti-establishment poetry
sunaa hai log use aa.nkh bhar ke dekhte hai.n
kis kis ko bataa.e.nge judaa.ii kaa sabab ham
ab aur kyaa kisii se maraasim ba.Dhaa.e.n ham
tamaam umr kahaa.n ko.ii saath detaa hai
aa.nkh se duur na ho dil se utar jaa.egaa
aashiqii me.n 'miir' jaise KHvaab mat dekhaa karo
kisii ko ghar se nikalte hii mil ga.ii manzil
ham ko achchhaa nahii.n lagtaa ko.ii hamnaam tiraa
ranjish hii sahii dil hii dukhaane ke liye aa
mai-kade me.n kyaa takalluf mai-kashii me.n kyaa hijaab
tuu itnii dil-zada to na thii ai shab-e-firaaq
guftuguu achchhii lagii zauq-e-nazar achchhaa lagaa
qurbate.n laakh KHuub-suurat ho.n
dil bhii paagal hai ki us shaKHs se vaabasta hai
ye dil kaa dard to umro.n kaa rog hai pyaare
bandagii ham ne chho.D dii hai 'faraaz'
yaad aa.ii hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aa.ii hai
agarche zor havaa.o.n ne Daal rakkhaa hai
is se pahle ki be-vafaa ho jaa.e.n
kitnaa aasaa.n thaa tire hijr me.n marnaa jaanaa.n
is zindagii me.n itnii faraaGat kise nasiib
chalaa thaa zikr zamaane kii bevafaa.ii kaa
sunaa hai bole to baato.n se phuul jha.Dte hai.n
ye merii Gazle.n ye merii nazme.n

dost ban kar bhii nahii.n saath nibhaane vaalaa
ab ke ham bichh.De to shaayad kabhii KHvaabo.n me.n mile.n
mai.n ne dekhaa hai bahaaro.n me.n chaman ko jalte
ab dil kii tamannaa hai to ai kaash yahii ho
tum takalluf ko bhii iKHlaas samajhte ho 'faraaz'
ham-safar chaahiye hujuum nahii.n
dil-girafta hii sahii bazm sajaa lii jaa.e
