suna hai log use ankh bhar ke dekhte hain

suna hai log use ankh bhar ke dekhte hain 
so us ke shahar main kuch din thahar ke dekhte hain

suna hai rabt hai us ko kharab halon se
so apane ap ko barbad karake dekhte hain

suna hai dard ki gahak hai chashm-e-nazuk us ki
so ham bhi us ki gali se guzar kar dekhte hain

suna hai us ko bhi hai sher-o-shayari se shagaf
so ham bhi mojaze apane hunar ke dekhte hain

suna hai bole to baton se phuul jharate hain
ye bat hai to chalo bat kar ke dekhte hain

suna hai rat use chand takata rahata hai
sitare bam-e-falak se utar kar dekhte hain

suna hai hashr hain us ki gazal si ankhain
suna hai us ko hiran dasht bhar ke dekhte hain

suna hai din ko use titaliyan satati hain
suna hai rat ko jugnuu thahar ke dekhte hain

suna hai rat se barh kar hain kakulain us ki
suna hai sham ko saye guzar ke dekhte hain

suna hai us ki siyah chashmagi qayamat hai
so us ko surmafarosh ankh bhar ke dekhte hain

suna hai us ke labon se gulab jalate hain
so ham bahar par ilzam dhar ke dekhte hain

suna hai aina tamasal hai jabin us ka
jo sada dil hain ban sanvar ke dekhte hain

suna hai jab se hamail hain us ki gardan main
mizaj aur hi lal-o-gauhar ke dekhte hain

suna hai chashm-e-tasavvur se dasht-e-imkan main
palang zave us ki kamar ke dekhte hain

suna hai us ke badan ke tarash aise hain
ke phuul apani qabayain katar ke dekhte hain

wo sarv-qad hai magar be-gul-e-murad nahin
ke us shajar pe shaguufe samar ke dekhte hain

bas ek nigah se lutata hai qafila dil ka
so rahravan-e-tamanna bhi dar ke dekhte hain

suna hai us ke shabistan se muttasil hai bahisht
makin udhar ke bhi jalve idhar ke dekhte hain

ruke to gardishain us ka tavaf karati hain
chale to us ko zamane thahar ke dekhte hain

kise nasib ke be-pairahan use dekhe
kabhi kabhi dar-o-divar ghar ke dekhte hain

kahaniyan hin sahi sab mubalage hi sahi
agar wo khvab hai tabir kar ke dekhte hain

ab us ke shahar main thaharain ki kuuch kar jayain
'Faraz' ao sitare safar ke dekhte hain
