aisa nahin ki munh mein hamare zaban nahin
hain kam-sukhan zarur pa aajiz bayan nahin

har-chand jaante hain use hum qarib se
par kya karen ki pa-e-sukhan darmiyan nahin

achchha to ek pal ke liye hi utha ke dekh
ai aasman jo bar-e-amanat-garan nahin

khud hum mein tab-e-did nahin hai ye aur baat
rahta hai wo nigah ke aage kahan nahin

'farrukh' kahin na sun ke kare wo bhi an-suni
kahte hain us se is liye dard-e-nihan nahin
