wasl ke lamhe kahani ho gae
shab ke moti subh pani ho gae

rafta rafta zindagani ho gae
gham ke lamhe jawedani ho gae

daulat-e-ahd-e-jawani ho gae
chand lamhe jo kahani ho gae

kaisi kuchh ranginiyan thin jin se hum
mahw-e-sair-e-dahr-e-fani ho gae

sukh bhare dukh dukh bhare sukh sab ke sab
waqiat-e-zindagani ho gae

muskurae aap jaane kis liye
hum rahin-e-shadmani ho gae

baaton hi baaton mein raaten ud gain
hae wo din bhi kahani ho gae

tum ne kuchh dekha khulus-e-jazb-e-shauq
sang-reze gul ke pani ho gae

'farhat' aisi but-parasti ke nisar
but bhi mahw-e-lan-tarani ho gae
