jism ke khol mein ek shahr-e-ana rakkha hai
nam jiwan ka tabhi hum ne saza rakkha hai

hum makinon ko nahin koi khushi se matlab
faisla shahr ke wali ne suna rakkha hai

khushiyan ja baithin kahin unchi si ek tahni par
dil ke bahlane ko ek lafz-e-qaza rakkha hai

aankhon mein khwab chubhan sone nahin deti hai
ek muddat se hamein tu ne jaga rakkha hai

jin ko insan bhi kahna nahin jachta 'farrukh'
un ko mabud zamane ne bana rakkha hai
