kya khabar thi ishq mein ye bhi sitam ho jaega
aankh mein aansu na honge dard kam ho jaega

apne aibon dusron ki khubiyon par rakh nazar
tu bhi duniya ki nazar mein mohtaram ho jaega

mere aansu jaise un ki aankh se bahne lage
kya kabhi ye moajiza ai chashm-e-nam ho jaega

kis ko tha malum hansta khelta bachpan mera
muflisi ki zad mein aa ke waqf-e-gham ho jaega

pasta-qad logon mein 'farhat' sar-bulandi jurm hai
dekhna tera bhi ek din sar qalam ho jaega
