ye main bhi kya hun use bhul kar usi ka raha
ki jis ke sath na tha ham-safar usi ka raha

wo but ki dushman-e-din tha ba-qaul naseh ke
sawal-e-sajda jab aaya to dar usi ka raha

hazar chaaragaron ne hazar baaten kin
kaha jo dil ne sukhan mo'tabar usi ka raha

bahut si khwahishen sau barishon mein bhigi hain
main kis tarah se kahun umr bhar usi ka raha

ki apne harf ki tauqir jaanta tha 'faraaz'
isi liye kaf-e-qatil pe sar usi ka raha
