nazar ki ruh ki dil ki saubaten bhi gain
gaya shabab to wo sari uljhanen bhi gain

gai jawani to aai shuur ki daulat
qadam qadam pe zamane se ranjishen bhi gain

shab-e-visal ka arman na fikr-e-sham-e-alam
wo karobar-e-junun ki nawazishen bhi gain

safed baal hue tank-jhank mein hail
kahan ka shauq-e-nazara basarten bhi gain

junun-e-ishq bhi rukhsat hua shabab ke sath
wo ratjagon ki purani riwayaten bhi gain

gunah hashr mein thahri gunah ki hasrat
gunah bhi na kiye aur jannaten bhi gain

khayal-e-gesu-e-jaanan safed rish mein gum
wo chashm-o-lab ke tasawwur ki lazzaten bhi gain

buton ki chah ne kafir bana diya tha hamein
khuda ka shukr hai 'farhat' wo aadaten bhi gain
