dil-girafta hi sahi bazm saja li jae
yaad-e-jaanan se koi sham na khali jae

rafta rafta yahi zindan mein badal jate hain
ab kisi shahr ki buniyaad na dali jae

mushaf-e-rukh hai kisi ka ki bayaz-e-hafiz
aise chehre se kabhi fal nikali jae

wo murawwat se mila hai to jhuka dun gardan
mere dushman ka koi war na khali jae

be-nawa shahr ka saya hai mere dil pe 'faraaz'
kis tarah se meri aashufta-khayali jae
