Barson kay baad daikha , ik shakhs dil'ruba sa

Barson kay baad daikha , ik shakhs dil'ruba sa

Ab zehan main nahin hai par naam tha bhala sa

Aabru khichay khichay se aankhein jhuki jhuki si 

Baatein ruki ruki si lehja thaka thaka sa 

Alfaaz thay keh jugnu awaz kay safar main 

Ban jaye junglon main jis tarah raasta sa

Khawabon main khawab us kay yaadon main yaad us ki 

Neendon main ghull gaya ho jaisay keh rat'jaga sa

Pehlay bhi log aaye kitnay hi zindagi main 

Woh her tarah se lakin auron se juda sa

Agli mohabbaton ne woh nu'muradiyan dein 

Taza rafaqaton se dil tha dara dara sa

Kuch yeh keh muddaton se hum bhi nahin thay roye 

Kuch zehar main bujha tha ehbaab ka dilaasa 

Phir youn hua keh sawan aakhon main aa basay thay 

Phir youn hua keh jaisay dil bhi tha aabla sa

Ab sach kahein to yaaro hum ko khabar nahin thi 

Ban jaye ga qayamat ik waqiya zara sa 

Taiwar thay be'rukhi kay andaz-e-dosti kay 

Woh ajnabi tha lakin lagta tha aashna sa 

Hum dast thay keh dariya hum zehar thay keh amrat 

Na'haq tha Zoham hum ko jab woh nahin tha payasa

Hum ne bhi us ko daikha kal shaam ita'faaqan 

Apna bhi haal hai ab logo faraz ka sa  

Aazard'gaan-e-shaher ka jaisa bhi haal ho

Aazard'gaan-e-shaher ka jaisa bhi haal ho

Aye yaar-e-khush diyaar  tujhay kiyon malaal ho

Ab baat dosti ki nahin hoslay ki hai

Laazim nahin keh tu bhi mera hum'khayal ho

Khud mera haath jab meri bar'badiyon main tha

Teri jabeen pe kiyon arq-e-in'fa'aal ho

Phir tu ne chairr di hai gayi sama'aton ki baat

Woh guftagoo na kar keh tujhay bhi malaal ho

Meri zarooraton se ziyada karam na kar

Aisa salook kar keh meray hasb-e-haal ho

Toota to hoon magar abhi bikhra nahin Faraz

Meray badan pe jaisay shakiston ka jaal ho

Sitam gari ka her andaz meharmana laga

Sitam gari ka her andaz meharmana laga 

Main kya karon mera dushman mujhay bura na laga 

Her aik ko zoham tha kis kis ko na'khuda kehtay 

Bhala hua keh safeena kinaray ja na laga 

Meray sukhan ka qareena dao gaya mujh ko 

Keh jis ko haal sunaya ussay fasana laga 

Baroon-e-dar na koi roshni na saya tha 

Sabhi fasaad mujhay androon-e-khana laga 

Main thak gaya tha bhout pay-ba-pay uraano se

Jabhi to daam bhi is baar aashiyana laga 

Sitam kay ehad main , main bhi shareek hoon jaisay 

Mera sakoot mujhay sakhat mujar'mana laga 

Woh laakh zood faramosh ho Faraz magar 

Ussay bhi mujh ko bhulanay main ik zamana laga 

Sehar kay suraj main ro raha hoon

Sehar kay suraj 

Sehar kay suraj 

Main ro raha hoon 

Keh mera mashriq lahu lahu hai 

Woh mera mashriq 

Jo mera bazu hai mera dil hai meri namu hai 

Jo meray atraaf ka nishan 

Meri aabru hai 

Lahu lahu hai 

Sehar kay suraj 

Main nisf tareek 

Nisf roshan hoon 

Kya hua hai 

Tujhay ghunn lag gaya 

Keh mera wajood tukron main batt gaya hai 

Teri shua'on ka noor andheron main ghatt gaya hai 

Keh aaj her rishta-e-rafaqat hi katt gaya hai 

Sehar kay suraj 

Main apnay paikar ki nisf tasveer ho gaya hoon 

Main aap hi aaj apni tehqeer ho gaya hoon 

Main ism-e-sagheer ho gaya hoon 

Main apna aadha badan liye kis taraf ko jaon 

Kissay dikhaon 

Yeh sheesha-e-jaan ki kirchiyan 

Apnay khawab rezay kahan chupa'on 

Main apni wahiddat kahan se laon 

Sehar kay suraj 

Sitam ki aandhi rukay 

To main yeh ujaar aankhein jhapak sakon ga 

Sis'sak sakon ga 

Lahu ki baarish thamay 

To main is dukhi badan ko thapak sakon ga 

Abhi to main jaan'kani kay dohray azaab main hoon 

Jo bujh chukay woh chragh daikhon 

Keh apnay maathay ka dagh daikhon 

Sehar kay suraj 

Meri nazar main to in rafeeqon kay qaaflay hain 

Jo ghar se niklay thay sar uthaye qadam jamaye 

Jo muntazir thay 

Keh rizam gaah-e-talab bulaye 

Jo aazmaish ki her gharri main 

Yaqeen ki mish'alein jalaye 

Watan ki na'moos kay liye 

Be'shumaar bazu ilam uthaye  

Rawan huye thay yeh ehad kar kay 

Keh in ki jaanein rahein , keh jayein 

Magar wafa par na harf aaye 

Sehar kay suraj 

Meri nazar main in hi rafeeqon kay qaaflay hain 

Keh jin ka pindaar reza reza 

Keh jin kay maathay arq arq hain 

Jo pa'zanjeer 

Munfa'ilgardanein jhukaye 

Adu kay narghay main 

In andheron ki sar'zameen ki taraf rawan hain 

Jahan haqarat kay ta'an 

Nafrat kay sang 

Ruswaiyon kay bazar 

Muntazir hain 

Sehar kay suraj 

Yeh main na daikhon 

Yeh tu na daikhay 

Yeh jaan'nisaron , shaheed yaron ka cham'chamata lahu na daikhay 

Yeh main na daikhon 

Yeh tu na daikhay 

Her tamashai faqat sahil se manzir daikhta

Her tamashai faqat sahil se manzir daikhta 

Kon dariya ko ulat'ta kon gohar daikhta 

Woh to duniya ko meri dewangi khush aa gayi 

Teray hathon mian wagarna pehla pathar daikhta 

Aankh main aansu jarray thay par sada tujh ko na di 

Is tawaqo par keh shayed tu palat kar daikhta 

Meri qismat ki lakeerain meray hathon main na thein 

Teray maathay par koi mera muqaddar daikhta 

Zindagi phaili hui thi shaam-e-hijran ki tarah 

Kis ko itna hosla tha kon jee kar daikhta 

Doobnay wala tha aur sahil pe chehron ka hajoom 

Pal ki mohlat thi main kis ko aankh bhar kar daikhta 

Tu bhi dil ko ik lahu ki boond samjha hai Faraz 

Aankh agar hoti to qatray main samandar daikhta  

Tujh se bichar kay hum bhi muqaddar kay ho gaye

Tujh se bichar kay hum bhi muqaddar kay ho gaye 

Phir jo bhi dar mila hai , usi dar kay ho gaye

Phir youn hua keh ghair ko dil se laga liya 

Andar woh nafratein thein keh baahir kay ho agye 

Kya log thay keh jaan se barh kar aziz thay 

Ab dil se mehav naam bhi aksar ho gaye 

Aye yaad-e-yaar tujh se karein kya shikayatein 

Ae dard-e-hijar hum bhi to pathar kay ho gaye 

Samjha rahay thay mujh ko sabhi naas'haan-e-shaher 

Phir rafta rafta khud usi kaafir kay ho gaye 

Ab kay na intizaar karein chara'gar ka hum

Ab kay gaye to ku-e-sitam'gar kay ho gaye 

Rotay ho ik jazeerah-e-jaan ko Faraz tum 

Daikho to kitnay shaher samandar kay ho gaye   

Kaha tha kis ne keh ehad-e-wafa karo us se

Kaha tha kis ne keh ehad-e-wafa karo us se 

Jo youn kiya hai to phir kiyon gila karo us se 

Naseeb phir koi taqreeb-e-qarb ho keh na ho 

Jo dil main hon wohi baatein kaha karo us se 

Yeh ehal-e-bazam tanak hosla sahi phir bhi 

Zara fasana-e-dil ibtidaa karo us se 

Yeh kya keh tum hi gham-e-hijar kay fasanay kaho 

Kabhi to is kay bahanay suna karo us se 

Faraz tark-e-taluq to khair kya ho ga !!

Yeh hi bhout hai keh kam kam mila karo us se  

Dil garifta hi sahi bazam saja li jaye

Dil garifta hi sahi bazam saja li jaye 

Yaad-e-jaana se koi shaam na khaali jaye 

Rafta rafta yahi zindaan main badal jatay hain 

Ab kisi shaher ki buniyaad na daali jaye 

Mushaf-e-rukh hai kisi ka keh biyaaz-e-hafiz 

Aisay chehray se kabhi faal nikaali jaye 

Woh murawat se mila hai to jhuka doon gardan 

Meray dushman ka koi waar na khaali jaye 

Be'nawa shaher ka saya hai meray dil pe Faraz 

Kis tarah se meri Aashafta khayali jaye 

Shagufta dil hain keh gham bhi Ataa bahar ki hai

Shagufta dil hain keh gham bhi Ataa bahar ki hai 

Gul-e-habaab hain sar main hawa bahar ki hai 

Hajoom-e-jalwa-e-gul par nazar na rakh keh yahan 

Jarahaton kay chaman par rida bahar ki hai 

Koi to lala-e-kho'nain-e-kafan se bhi poochay 

Yeh fasal chaak-e-jiger ki hai ya bahar ki hai 

Main tera naam na loon phir bhi log peh'chanain 

Keh aap apna ta'aruf hawa bahar ki hai 

Shumaar zakham abhi se faraz kya karna 

Abhi to jaan meri ibtidaa bahar ki hai 

Abar-e-bahar ab kay bhi barsa parray parray

Abar-e-bahar ab kay bhi barsa parray parray 

Gulshan ujaar ujaar hain  jungle harray harray 

Janay yeh tishnagi hai hawas hai keh khud'kushi 

Jaltay hain shaam hi se jo saghar bharray bharray 

Hai dil ki mout ehad-e-wafa ki shakistagi 

Phir bhi jo koi tark mohabbat karay karay 

Ab apna dil bhi shaher-e-khamoshan se kam nahin 

Sun ho gaye hain kaan sada par dharray dharray 

Rehtay hain ehal-e-shaher kay saa'iye se door door 

Hum aahu in dasht ki surat darray darray 

Gul ban kay phoot'ta hai lahu shaakh'saar se 

Zakham rag-e-bahar hain pattay harray harray 

Zinda dilaan-e-shaher ko kya ho gaya Faraz

Aankhein bujhi bujhi hain to chehray marray marray
