hath se aakhir chhut pada patthar jo uthaya tha
kya karta mujrim bhi to khud apna saya tha

aisa hota kash kahin kuchh rang bhi mil jate
us ne mere khwabon ka khaka to banaya tha

ab tu bhi bahar aa ja yun jism mein chhupna kya
parda hi karna tha to kyun mujh ko bulaya tha

aaj ke mausam se be-sudh kuchh log kafan chehra
ab tak sahme baithe hain tufan kal aaya tha

ji chahe to aur bhi ruk le palkon ki chhanw mein
main ne to tujh ko waqt ka bas ehsas dilaya tha

roz sawere virana bachta hai 'faraaz' aakhir
hum ne raat bhi khwabon mein ek shahr sajaya tha
