ye jo dushman gham-e-nihani hai
ye bhi ek dost apna jaani hai

ghafil hum us se wo rahe hum se
umr-e-rafta ki qadr-dani hai

qasr tamir kar chuke hain bahut
manzil-e-gor ab banani hai

jis ki ulfat mein dil dhadakta hai
ab talak us ki bad-gumani hai

aur bhi ek ghazal 'farasu' padh
ab ye hangama-e-sher-khwani hai
