Zakhm Ko Phul To Sar Sar Ko Saba Kahte Hain

zakhm ko phul to sar sar ko saba kahte hain
jane kya daur hai kya log hain kya kahte hain

kya qayamat hai ke jin ke liye ruk ruk ke chale
ab vahi log hamain abalapa kahte hain

koi batalao ke ik umr ka bichara mahabub
ittefaqan kahin mil jaye to kya kahte hain

ye bhi andaz-e-sukhan hai ke jafa ko teri
gamza-o-ishva-o-andaz-o-ada kahte hain

jab talak dur hai tu teri parastish kar lain
ham jise chu na sakain us ko khuda kahte hain

kya tajjub hai ke ham ahl-e-tamanna ko ‘Faraz’
wo jo maharum-e-tamanna hain bura kahte hain
