bahr se dariya bana dariya se kuza ho gaya
martaba kya tha tumhaari bazm mein kya ho gaya

waqt badla to sabhi kuchh ulta-pulta ho gaya
phul khilte the jahan kal aaj sahra ho gaya

ye mere aslaf ki meraj-e-ulfat thi ki jo
tez-rau dariya ruka dariya mein rasta ho gaya

jaane ye aashuftagi mujh ko kahan le jaegi
aaj phir qalb-e-hazin ko un ka dhoka ho gaya

faelatun faelatun faelatun faelun
dekhiye bahr-e-ramal mein sher kaisa ho gaya

inqilab-e-dahr ka ye bhi ajuba khub hai
khun insanon ka 'farhat' sab se sasta ho gaya
