sar mein sauda bhi nahin dil mein tamanna bhi nahin

sar meñ saudā bhī nahīñ dil meñ tamannā bhī nahīñ

lekin is tark-e-mohabbat kā bharosā bhī nahīñ

dil kī gintī na yagānoñ meñ na begānoñ meñ

lekin us jalva-gah-e-nāz se uThtā bhī nahīñ

mehrbānī ko mohabbat nahīñ kahte ai dost

aah ab mujh se tirī ranjish-e-bejā bhī nahīñ

ek muddat se tirī yaad bhī aa.ī na hameñ

aur ham bhuul ga.e hoñ tujhe aisā bhī nahīñ

aaj ġhaflat bhī un āñkhoñ meñ hai pahle se sivā

aaj hī ḳhātir-e-bīmār shakebā bhī nahīñ

baat ye hai ki sukūn-e-dil-e-vahshī kā maqām

kunj-e-zindāñ bhī nahīñ vus.at-e-sahrā bhī nahīñ

are sayyād hamīñ gul haiñ hamīñ bulbul haiñ

tū ne kuchh aah sunā bhī nahīñ dekhā bhī nahīñ

aah ye majma-e-ahbāb ye bazm-e-ḳhāmosh

aaj mahfil meñ 'firāq'-e-suḳhan-ārā bhī nahīñ

ye bhī sach hai ki mohabbat pe nahīñ maiñ majbūr

ye bhī sach hai ki tirā husn kuchh aisā bhī nahīñ

yuuñ to hañgāme uThāte nahīñ dīvāna-e-ishq

magar ai dost kuchh aisoñ kā Thikānā bhī nahīñ

fitrat-e-husn to ma.alūm hai tujh ko hamdam

chāra hī kyā hai ba-juz sabr so hotā bhī nahīñ

muñh se ham apne burā to nahīñ kahte ki 'firāq'

hai tirā dost magar aadmī achchhā bhī nahīñ

sar mein sauda bhi nahin dil mein tamanna bhi nahin

lekin is tark-e-mohabbat ka bharosa bhi nahin

dil ki ginti na yaganon mein na beganon mein

lekin us jalwa-gah-e-naz se uThta bhi nahin

mehrbani ko mohabbat nahin kahte ai dost

aah ab mujh se teri ranjish-e-beja bhi nahin

ek muddat se teri yaad bhi aai na hamein

aur hum bhul gae hon tujhe aisa bhi nahin

aaj ghaflat bhi un aankhon mein hai pahle se siwa

aaj hi KHatir-e-bimar shakeba bhi nahin

baat ye hai ki sukun-e-dil-e-wahshi ka maqam

kunj-e-zindan bhi nahin wusat-e-sahra bhi nahin

are sayyaad hamin gul hain hamin bulbul hain

tu ne kuchh aah suna bhi nahin dekha bhi nahin

aah ye majma-e-ahbab ye bazm-e-KHamosh

aaj mahfil mein 'firaq'-e-suKHan-ara bhi nahin

ye bhi sach hai ki mohabbat pe nahin main majbur

ye bhi sach hai ki tera husn kuchh aisa bhi nahin

yun to hangame uThate nahin diwana-e-ishq

magar ai dost kuchh aison ka Thikana bhi nahin

fitrat-e-husn to malum hai tujh ko hamdam

chaara hi kya hai ba-juz sabr so hota bhi nahin

munh se hum apne bura to nahin kahte ki 'firaq'

hai tera dost magar aadmi achchha bhi nahin
