bhale bujhane ki zid pe hawa udi hui hai
magar charagh ki lau aur bhi badhi hui hai

main sochta hun use sar pe rakh liya jae
zamin kab se mere panw mein padi hui hai

tumhaare lahje ki luknat bata rahi hai mujhe
ki tum ne khud se hi ye dastan gadhi hui hai

koi batae ghazala ko main shikari hun
wo be-takan meri rah mein khadi hui hai

ye rang rang libason mein kuchh nahin hai 'faraaz'
ki sab ki asal qaba khak se judi hui hai
