Silsile toR gayaa vo

silsile toR gayaa vo sabhii jaate jaate

varnaa itne to maraasim the ke aate jaate

shikvaa-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahiiN behtar thaa

apne hisse kii ko’ii shammaa jalaate jaate

kitnaa aasaaN tha tere hijr meN marna jaanaaN

phir bhi ik umar lagi jaan se jaate jaate

jashn-e-maqtal hi na barpa hu’aa varnaa ham bhii

paa-bajolaaN hii sahii naachte gaate jaate

uskii vo jaane usse paas-e-vafaa thaa ke na thaa

tum “Faraz” apnii taraf se to nibhaate jaate
