ye baat alag dil ko teri yaad ne bandha
is said ko warna kahan sayyaad ne bandha

kucha ye koi aur hi aabaad karega
saman jo ab ke dil-e-barbaad ne bandha

is shahr ko ab chhod ke kya jaun ki mujh ko
roka hai kisi aah ne fariyaad ne bandha

jo us ki talab hai wahi ab meri talab hai
kis sehr se mujh ko mere ham-zad ne bandha

hamwar hui rah na rasta hi khula hai
bazu se to tawiz bhi afrad ne bandha

ek koh-e-giran tod diya par nahin toda
paiman-e-wafa jab kisi farhad ne bandha

shagird ke ab sher se hota hai baramad
mazmun bahut pahle jo ustad ne bandha

'faruq' nazar ho gai markuz usi par
kya khub adaon se pari-zad ne bandha
