Dost Ban Kar Bhii Nahiin Saath Nibhane Wala

Dost ban kar bhii nahiin saath nibhane wala,
Wahii andaaz hai zaalim kaa zamaanevaalaa,

Ab ise log samajhate hain giraftaar meraa,
SaKht nadiim hai mujhe daam main laanevaalaa,

Kyaa kahain kitane maraasim the hamaare is se,
Wo jo ik shaKhs hai monh pher ke jaanevaalaa,

Tere hote hue aa jaatii thii saarii duniyaa,
Aaj tanhaa hon to koii nahiin aanevaalaa,

Muntazir kis kaa hon TuuTii huii dahaliiz pe main,
Kaun aayegaa yahaan kaun hai aanevaalaa,

Main ne dekhaa hai bahaaron main chaman ko jalate,
Hai koii Khvaab kii taabiir bataanevaalaa,

Kyaa Khabar thii jo merii jaan main ghulaa hai itanaa,
Hai vahii mujh ko sar-e-daar bhii laane vaalaa,

Tum taqalluf ko bhii iKhalaas samajhate ho 'Faraz'
Dost hotaa nahiin har haath milaanevaalaa...
