Karon Na Yad Agar Kis Tarah Bhulaon Use

Karon na yad agar kis tarah bhulaon use,
Ghazal bahana karon aur gungunaon use,

Wo khar-khar hai shakh-e-gulab ki manind,
Main zakhm-zakhm hon phir bhi gale lagaon use,

Ye log tazakare karate hain apne logon se,
Main kaise bat karon aur kahan se laon use,

Magar wo zudfaramosh zud ranj bhi hai,
Ke ruth jaye agar yad kuch dilaon use,

Wahi jo daulat-e-dil hai vahi jo rahat-e-jan,
Tumhari bat pe ai nasiho ganvaon use,

Jo hamsafar sar-e-manzil bichar raha hai 'Faraz'
Ajab nahin ki agar yad bhi na aon use...
