jab bhi dil khol ke roe honge
log aaram se soe honge

baz auqat ba-majburi-e-dil
hum to kya aap bhi roe honge

subh tak dast-e-saba ne kya kya
phul kanton mein piroe honge

wo safine jinhen tufan na mile
na-khudaon ne duboe honge

raat bhar hanste hue taron ne
un ke aariz bhi bhigoe honge

kya ajab hai wo mile bhi hon 'faraaz'
hum kisi dhyan mein khoe honge
