na shab-o-roz hi badle hain na haal achchha hai
kis barahman ne kaha tha ki ye sal achchha hai

hum ki donon ke giraftar rahe jaante hain
dam-e-duniya se kahin zulf ka jal achchha hai

main ne puchha tha ki aakhir ye taghaful kab tak
muskuraate hue bole ki sawal achchha hai

lazzaten qurb-o-judai ki hain apni apni
mustaqil hijr hi achchha na visal achchha hai

rahrawan-e-rah-eulfat ka muqaddar malum
in ka aaghaz hi achchha na maal achchha hai

dosti apni jagah par ye haqiqat hai 'faraaz'
teri ghazlon se kahin tera ghazal achchha hai
