Sab qareenay, usi dildaar ke, rakh dete haiN
Hum ghazal men bhi hunar yaar ke rakh dete haiN
Shayad ajayeN kabhi chashm e khariidar men hum
Jan O dil biich mein bazaar ke rakh dete haiN
Zikr e janaN mein yeh duniya ko kahaN le aaye
Log kyuN mas’alay bekaar ke rakh dete haiN
Zindagii teri amaanat hai magar kya kijiye
Log yeh bojh bhi thak haar ke rakh dete haiN
Hum to chahat men bhi ghalib ke muqallid hain ‘Faraz’
Jis pe marte haiN use maar ke rakh dete haiN
