samne uske kabhi uski sataish nahin ki
sāmne us ke kabhī us kī satā.ish nahīñ kī
dil ne chāhā bhī agar hoñToñ ne jumbish nahīñ kī
ahl-e-mahfil pe kab ahvāl khulā hai apnā
maiñ bhī ḳhāmosh rahā us ne bhī pursish nahīñ kī
jis qadar us se ta'alluq thā chalā jaatā hai
us kā kyā ranj ho jis kī kabhī ḳhvāhish nahīñ kī
ye bhī kyā kam hai ki donoñ kā bharam qaa.em hai
us ne baḳhshish nahīñ kī ham ne guzārish nahīñ kī
ik to ham ko adab ādāb ne pyāsā rakkhā
us pe mahfil meñ surāhī ne bhī gardish nahīñ kī
ham ki dukh oḌh ke ḳhalvat meñ paḌe rahte haiñ
ham ne bāzār meñ zaḳhmoñ kī numā.ish nahīñ kī
ai mire abr-e-karam dekh ye vīrāna-e-jāñ
kyā kisī dasht pe tū ne kabhī bārish nahīñ kī
kaT mare apne qabīle kī hifāzat ke liye
maqtal-e-shahr meñ Thahre rahe jumbish nahīñ kī
vo hameñ bhuul gayā ho to ajab kyā hai 'farāz'
ham ne bhī mel-mulāqāt kī koshish nahīñ kī
samne us ke kabhi us ki sataish nahin ki
dil ne chaha bhi agar honTon ne jumbish nahin ki
ahl-e-mahfil pe kab ahwal khula hai apna
main bhi KHamosh raha us ne bhi pursish nahin ki
jis qadar us se ta'alluq tha chala jata hai
us ka kya ranj ho jis ki kabhi KHwahish nahin ki
ye bhi kya kam hai ki donon ka bharam qaem hai
us ne baKHshish nahin ki hum ne guzarish nahin ki
ek to hum ko adab aadab ne pyasa rakkha
us pe mahfil mein surahi ne bhi gardish nahin ki
hum ki dukh oDh ke KHalwat mein paDe rahte hain
hum ne bazar mein zaKHmon ki numaish nahin ki
ai mere abr-e-karam dekh ye virana-e-jaan
kya kisi dasht pe tu ne kabhi barish nahin ki
kaT mare apne qabile ki hifazat ke liye
maqtal-e-shahr mein Thahre rahe jumbish nahin ki
wo hamein bhul gaya ho to ajab kya hai 'faraaz'
hum ne bhi mel-mulaqat ki koshish nahin ki
