dil ka gham se gham ka nam se rabta banta gaya
dhire dhire barishon ka silsila banta gaya

dard-o-gham sahne ki aadat is qadar pukhta hui
haarna aakhir hamara mashghala banta gaya

ek ek kar ke bahut dukh sath mere ho liye
marhala-dar-marhala ek qafila banta gaya

zabt ka daman jo chhuta hath se mere to phir
mera chehra karb ka ek aaina banta gaya

har taraf phaila hua tha be-yaqini ka dhuan
khud-bakhud 'faruq' phir ek rasta banta gaya
