shajar gahre zaminon mein gade hain
to kyun halki hawa mein kanpte hain

chalo is mod se wapas chalen hum
ab aage mukhtalif raste bane hain

hamein ye dukh nahin hai khud ko khoya
ye gham hai hum use bhi kho chuke hain

hamare khwab bhi apne kahan hain
kisi ki yaad ne aa kar bune hain

jab us ko bhul baithi hun main 'farhat'
to phir aankhon mein kaise rat-jage hain
