silsile toD gaya wo sabhi jate jate

silsile toḌ gayā vo sabhī jaate jaate

varna itne to marāsim the ki aate jaate

shikva-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahīñ behtar thā

apne hisse kī koī sham.a jalāte jaate

kitnā āsāñ thā tire hijr meñ marnā jānāñ

phir bhī ik umr lagī jaan se jaate jaate

jashn-e-maqtal hī na barpā huā varna ham bhī

pā-ba-jaulāñ hī sahī nāchte gaate jaate

is kī vo jaane use pās-e-vafā thā ki na thā

tum 'farāz' apnī taraf se to nibhāte jaate

silsile toD gaya wo sabhi jate jate

warna itne to marasim the ki aate jate

shikwa-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahin behtar tha

apne hisse ki koi shama jalate jate

kitna aasan tha tere hijr mein marna jaanan

phir bhi ek umr lagi jaan se jate jate

jashn-e-maqtal hi na barpa hua warna hum bhi

pa-ba-jaulan hi sahi nachte gate jate

is ki wo jaane use pas-e-wafa tha ki na tha

tum 'faraaz' apni taraf se to nibhate jate
