raat ke pichhle pahar rone ke aadi roe
aap aae bhi magar rone ke aadi roe

un ke aa jaane se kuchh tham se gae the aansu
un ke jate hi magar rone ke aadi roe

hae pabandi-e-adab teri mahfil ki
ki sar-e-rahguzar rone ke aadi roe

ek taqrib-e-tabassum thi bahaaran lekin
phir bhi aankhen huin tar rone ke aadi roe

dard-mandon ko kahin bhi to qarar aa na saka
koi sahra ho ki ghar rone ke aadi roe

ai 'faraaz' aise mein barsat kategi kyunkar
gar yunhi sham-o-sahar rone ke aadi roe
