Har tamaashaa_ii faqat saahil se ma.nzar dekhataa

har tamaashaa_ii faqat saahil se manzar dekhataa
kaun dariyaa ko ulaTataa kaun gauhar dekhataa




vo to duniyaa ko merii diivaangii Khush aa ga_ii
tere haatho.n me.n vagarnaa pahalaa patthar dekhataa



aa.Nkh me.n aa.Nsuu ja.De the par sadaa tujh ko na dii
is tavaqqo par ki shaayad tuu palaT kar dekhataa



merii qismat kii lakiire.n mere haatho.n me.n na thii.n
tere maathe par ko_ii meraa muqaddar dekhataa




zindagii phailii hu_ii thii shaam-e-hijraa.N kii tarah
kis ko itanaa hausalaa thaa kaun jii kar dekhataa



Duubane vaalaa thaa aur saahil pe cheharo.n kaa hujuum
pal kii mohalat thii mai.n kis ko aa.Nkh bhar ke dekhataa



tuu bhii dil ko ik lahuu kii buu.Nd samajhaa hai 'Faraz'
aa.Nkh gar hotii to qatre me.n samandar dekhataa
