sada-e-kun se bhi pahle kisi jahan mein the
wajud mein na sahi hum khuda ke dhyan mein the

we kitne khush the jo kuchh bhi na jaante the magar
jo jaante the we har dam ek imtihan mein the

kisi ko haq ki talab thi koi majaz pe tha
aur ek hum the ki donon ke darmiyan mein the

haqiqaton mein utarne se thoda pahle bhi
janab aap mere khana-e-guman mein the

mujhe to rasta badalne mein khauf aata tha
magar wo hausle jo mere raftagan mein the

wafa karenge agar hum wafa milegi hamein
'faraaz' pahle-pahal hum bhi is guman mein the
