koi bhi ham-safar nahin hota
dard kyun raat bhar nahin hota

rah-e-dil khud-ba-khud hai mil jati
koi bhi rahbar nahin hota

aah ka bhi na zikr kar ai dil
aah mein bhi asar nahin hota

dil ko aasudgi bhi kyunkar ho
gham se shir-o-shakar nahin hota

aah ai be-khabar ye be-khabari
dil-e-nadan khabar nahin hota

dil ki rahen juda hain duniya se
koi bhi rahbar nahin hota

ab to mahfil se chal diya 'farhat'
ab kisi ka guzar nahin hota
