badan me.n aag sii cheharaa gulaab jaisaaa hai

badan me.n aag sii cheharaa gulaab jaisaaa hai

badan me.n aag sii cheharaa gulaab jaisaaa hai 
ke zahar-e-Gam kaa nashaa bhii sharaab jaisaa hai 

kahaa.N vo qurb ke ab to ye haal hai jaise 
tere firaaq kaa aalam bhii Khvaab jaisaa hai 

magar kabhii ko_ii dekhe ko_ii pa.Dhe to sahii 
dil aa_iinaa hai to cheharaa kitaab jaisaa hai 

vo saamane hai magar tishnagii nahii.n jaatii 
ye kyaa sitam hai ke dariyaa saraab jaisaa hai 

[tishnagii=thirst, saraab=illusion/mirage ] 

'Faraz' sang-e-malaamat se zaKhm zaKhm sahii 
hame.n aziiz hai Khaanaa_Kharaab jaisaa hai
