lakh rahe shahron mein phir bhi andar se dehati the
dil ke achchhe log the lekin thode se jazbaati the

ab bhi aksar khwab mein un ke dhundle chehre aate hain
meri gudiya ki shadi mein jo nanhe baraati the

apne gird lakiren khinchen aur phir un mein qaid hue
is duniya mein khel the jitne sare hi tabqati the

jhonpadiyon mein rahne wale un ki fitrat jaan gae
kabhi kabhi chadh aane wale nale jo barsati the

jis baadal ne sukh barsaya jis ki chhanw mein prit mili
aankhen khol ke dekha to wo sab mausam lamhati the

jin ko bada mana tha main ne 'farhat' wo kyun bhul gae
kuchh goshe mere jiwan ke bilkul mere zati the
