Jane kya daur hai kya log hain kya 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

Dil se Utar Ja

Ankh se door na ho dil se utar jaye ga
waqt ka kiya hai guzarta hai guzar jaye ga

itna manoos na ho khalwat.e.gham se apni
tu kabhi khud ko bhi dekhay ga tu dar jaye ga

tum sar-e-rah-e-wafa dekhtay reh jaoo gay
aur woh baam-e-rafaqat se uter jaye ga

dobtay dobtay kashti ko uchaala day don
mein nahin koi tu sahil pe uter jaye ga

zabt lazim hai magar dukh hai qayamat ka “faraz”
zalim ab ke bhi na roye ga tu mar jaye ga…!!!

Suna hai log usey ankh bhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai log usay aankh bhar ke dekhte hain
So us ke shahar main kuchh din thehr ke dekhte hain

Suna hai rabt hai us ko kharab halon se
So apne aap ko barbad kar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai dard ki gahak hain chashm-e nazuk us ki
So ham bhi us ki gali se guzar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ko bhi hai sher-o shayari se shagaf
So ham bhi mojazay apnay hunar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai bole to baton se phool jharrtay hain
Ye baat hai to chalo baat kar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai raat use chand takta rehta hai
Sitaray baam-e falak se utar kar dekhtay hain

Suna hai hashr hain us ki ghazaal si aankhain
Suna hai us ko hiran dasht bhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai din ko usay titliyan satati hain
Suna hai raat ko jugno thahar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai rat se barh kar hain kakulan us ki
Suna hai sham ko saye guzar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ki siyah chashmagi qiyamat hai
So us ko surma farosh aankh bhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ke labon se gulab jalate hain
So ham bahar par ilzaam dhar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai aaina tamasal hai jabin us ka
Jo sada dill 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 tasavur se dasht-e imkan main
Palang zawaiya us ki kamar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ke badan ke tarash aisay hain
Ke phuul apani qabayain qatar ke dekhte hain

Woh sarvqad hai magar begul-e muraad nahin
Ke us shajar pe shagufay samar ke dekhte hain

Bas ek nigah se lutata hai qafila dil ka
So rahravaan-e tamannaa bhi dar ke dekhte hain

Suna hai us ke shabistan se mutasil hai behisht
Makin udhar ke bhi jalway idhar ke dekhte hain

Rukay tu gardishain us ka tawaf karti hain
Chalay to us ko zamanay theher ke dekhte hain

Kisay naseeb ke be parahan usay dekhay
Kabhi kabhi dar-o divaar ghar ke dekhte hain

Kahaniyan hi sahi sab mubalaghay hi sahi
Agar woh khawb hai tabeer kar ke dekhte hain

Ab us ke sheher main thehrain ke kooch kar jayan
Faraz aao sitaray safar ke dekhte hain

Hui Hai Shaam Tou Aankhon Mein Bas Gayaa Phir Tu

Hui Hai Shaam Tou aankhon mein Bas Gayaa Phir tu,
kahaan gayaa hai mere shahar ke musaafir tu,

Bohat Udaas Hai Ik ShaKhs Tere Jaane Se,
Jo Ho Sake Tou Chalaa aa Usii Kii Khaatir tu,

Merii Misaal Ke Ik NaKhl-e-Khushk-e-Saharaa Huu.N
Teraa Khayaal Ke ShaaKh-e-Chaman Kaa Taa_ir tu,

Mai.n Jaantaa Huu.N Ke Duniyaa Tujhe Badal Degii
Mai.n Maanataa Huun Ke aisaa Nahii.n Bazaahir tu,

Ha.Nsii Khushii Se bichhar Jaa agar BichhaDnaa hai
Ye Har Maqaam Pe Kyaa Sochtaa Hai aaKhir tu,?

‘Faraz’ Tune Use Mushkilon Mein Daal Diyaa
Zamaanaa Saahib-e-Zar aur Sirf Shaayar tu..

Phir Toot Ke Ronay Ki Rut Aayi Hai

Phir Toot Ke Ronay Ki Rut Aayi Hai
Phir Se Dilon Ke Zakham Nikhartay Jaatay Hain

Jhooti Sachi Taabeeron Ki Khwaahish Hai
Kaisay Kaisay Khwaab Bikhartay Jaatay Hain

Kaisay Kaisay Yaaron Ka Behroop Khula
Kaisay Kaisay Khoul Utartay Jaatay Hain

In Haalon Kab Apnay Aap Ko Dekha Tha ?
Kehnay Ko Din Raat Guzartay Jaatay Hain

Raahgeeron Ki Khamooshi Ko Gour Se Sun,
Yun Hai Jaisay Maatam Kartay Jaatay Hain

Kubhi Kubhi Koi Aisa Musaafir Aata Hai
Rastay Apnay Aap Sanwartay Jaatay Hain

Sheher-e-Ghazal Ki Galyon Mein Dilgeer Tere
Tujh Se Teri Baatain Kartay Jaatay Hain

…

Zahid sharab peene de masjid mein beth kar..

Zahid sharab peene de masjid mein beth kar,
Yaa woh jagha bata jahan Khuda nahin..
(Mirza Ghalib)

Masjid khuda ka ghar hai, peeney ki jagha nahin,
Kaafir ke dil mein ja, Wahan khudaa nahin..
(Allama Iqbal)

Kaafir ke dil se aya hon mein yeh dekh kar,
Khuda maujood hai wahan, Par usey pata nahin..
(Ahmad Faraz)

Phiray Ga Tu Bhi Yun Hee Kuu-Ba-Kuu Hamari Tarah

Phiray Ga TU Bhee Yun Hee Kuu-Ba-Kuu Hamari Tarah
Dareedah Daaman-o-Aashafta Muu Hamari Tarah

Kubhi Tou Sang Se Phootay Gi Aabajuu Gham Ki
Kubhi Tou Toot Ke Roye Ga TU Bhee Hamari Tarah

Palat Ke Tujh Ko Bhee Aana Hai Is Taraf Laikin
Lutaa Ke Qaafila-e-Rang-o-Buu Hamari Tarah

Wo Laakh Dushman-e-Jaan Ho Magar Khuda Na Karay
Ke Os Ka Haal Bhee Ho Huu-Ba-Huu Hamari Tarah

Hum Hee “Faraz” Sazawaar-e-Sang Kiun Tehray ?
Ke Aur Bhee Tou Hain Dewaana-e-Khuu Hamari Tarah

Raatain Hain Udaas, Din Karry hain..

Raatain Hain Udaas, Din Karry hain
Ay Dil Tere Honslay Baray Hain

Ay Yaad-e-Habib Sath Daina
Kuch Marhalay Sakht Aa Paray hain

Rukna Ho Agar Tou So Bahaanay
Jaana Ho Tou Rastay Baray Hain

Ab Kaisay Btayen Waja-e-Girya
Jab Aap Bhi Saath Ro Pary Hain

Ab Jaanay Kahan Naseeb Lay Jaye
Ghar Se Tou “FARAZ” Nikal Paray Hain

Har Shaakh Chaman Ki Jal Rahi Hai

Har Shaakh Chaman Ki Jal Rahi Hai
Kiya Baad-e-Muraad Chal Rahi Hai,

Hum Hain Ke Faraib Kha Rahe Hain
Duniya Hai Ke Chaal Chal Rahi Hai,

Yoon Dil Mein Hai Teri Yaad Jaise
Weerane Mein Aag Jal Rahi Hai,

Rukh Pher Liya Hai Jab Se Tune
Duniya Ki Nazar Badal Rahi Hai,

Dar Pesh Hai Aaj Bhi Wohi Surat-e-Haal
Jo Soorat-e-Haal Kal Rahi Hai,

Itni Bhi “Faraz” Bad Dili Kiya ?
Sambhlo ! Ke Fizaa Badal Rahi Hai

Ab Ke Hum Bichre To Shayad Kabhi Khwaabon Mein Milain

Ab Ke Hum Bichre To Shayad Kabhi Khwaabon Mein Milain
Jis Tarah Sukhe Huye Phool Kitabon Mein Milain

Dhoond Ujre Huye Logon Mein Wafa Ke Moti
Ye Khazane Tujhe Mumkin Hai Kharabon Mein Milain

Gham-e-Duniya Bhi Gham-e-yaar Mein Shaamil Kar Lo
Nasha Bardhta Hai Sharabein Jo Sharabon Mein Milain

TU Khuda Hai Na Mera Ishq Farishton Jaisa
Dono Insaan Hain Tou Kyun Hijabon Mein Milain ?

Aaj Hum Daar Pe Khainchay Gaye Jin Baaton Par
Kya Ajab Kal Wo Zamaanay Ko Nisaabon Mein Milain

Ab Na Wo Main Hun, Na TU Hai, Na Wo Maazi Hai “Faraaz”
Jaise Do Shakhs Tamannaa Ke Saraabon Mein Milain

Teri Baatein Hi Sunaane Aaye

Teri Baatein Hi Sunaane Aaye
Dost Bhi Dil Hi Dukhane Aaye

Phool khilte Hain To Ham Sochte Hain
Tere Aane Ke Zamaane Aaye

Aisi Kuch Chup Si Lagi Hai Jaise
Ham Tujhe Haal Sunaane Aaye

Ishq Tanha Hai Sar-e-Manzil-e-Gham
Kaun Ye Bojh Uthane Aaye ?

Ajnabi Dost Hamein Dekh K Ham
Kuch Tujhe Yaad Dilaane Aaye

Dil Dhadakta Hai Safar K Hangam
Kaash Phir Koi Bulaane Aaye

Ab To Rone Se Bhi Dil Dukhta Hai
Shaayad Ab Hosh Thikaane Aaye

Kyaa Kahein Phir Koi Basti Ujdii
Log Kyun Jashn Manaane Aaye ?

So Raho Maut Ke Pehluu Mein ‘Faraz’
Neend Kis Vaqt Na Jaane Aaye

Umar bhar ka maan toota, aur kya..

Umar bhar ka maan toota, aur kya,
Morr aya, sath choota, aur kya,

Kon sach kehta hai, sach sunta hai kon,
Main bhi jhoota, tu bhi jhoota, aur kya,

Jaan se jaana zaroori to nahin,
Aashiqui mein sar to phoota, aur kya,

Rote huye laal pathar ho gaye,
Rafta rafta rang choota, aur kya,

Reh gaya tha yaad ka rishta faqat,
Akhrish yeh pul bhi toota, aur kya,

Us ki ankhain bhi kabhi sach bolti’n,
Dil to tha jhooton sa jhoota, aur kya,

Ghair to they ghair apne aap ko,
Sab se barh kar hum ne loota, aur kya,

aao dekho to zara baagh-e-wafaa,
Ab koi gul hai na boota, aur kya,

Fitna samaani mein yaksaan hain Faraz,
Apna dil ho ya kahuta, aur kya..

Jub Bhee Dil Khol Ke Roye Honge

Jub Bhee Dil Khol Ke Roye Honge
Loog Aaraam Se Soye Honge

Baaz Auqaat Ba Majboori-e-Dil
Hum Tou Kia Aap Bhee Roye Honge

Subha Tak Dast-e-Sabaa Ne Kia Kia
Phool Kaanton Mein Piroye Honge

Wo Safeenay Jinhain Toofan Na Milay
Na-Khudaon Ne Duboyein Honge

Kya Ajab Hai Wo Milay Bhee Hon “Faraz”
Hum Kisi Dehaan Mein Khoye Honge

Is Se Pehlay Ke Bewafa Ho Jayein

Is Se Pehlay Ke Bewafa Ho Jayein
Kiun Na Ay Dost Ham Judaa Ho Jayein ?

TU Bhee Heeray Se Ban Gaya Patthar
Ham Bhee Kal Jaanay Kia Se Kia Ho Jayein

Hum Bhee Majboorion Ka Uzar Karain
Phir Kaheen Aur Mubtala Ho Jayein

Ab Ke Gar TU Milay Tou Ham Tujhse
Aisay Liptain Teri Qabaa Ho Jayein

Bandagi Ham Ne Chhod Di Hai “Faraz”
Kia Karain Jub Loog Khuda Ho Jayein

Ahmad Faraz Poetry: Aankh Se Door Na Ho, Dil Se Utar Jaye Ga

Aankh Se Door Na Ho, Dil Se Utar Jaye Ga
Waqt Ka Kia Hai Guzarta Hai Guzar Jaye Ga

Itna Manoos Na Ho Khilwat-e-Gham Se Apni
TU Kubhi Khud Ko Bhi Dekhay Ga Tou Dar Jaye Ga

Tum Sar-e-Raah Wafa Dekhtay Reh Jao Ge
Aur Wo Baam-e-Rafaqat Se Utar Jaye Ga

Zindagi Teri Ata Hai Tou Ye Jaanay Wala
Teri Bakhshish Teri Dehleez Pe Dhar Jaye Ga

Doobtay Doobtay Kishti Ko Uchaala De Dun
Mein Nahi Koi TU Saahil Pe Utar Jaye Ga

Zabt Laazim Hai Magar Dukh Hai Qayamat Ka “Faraz”
Zaalim Ab Ke Bhi Na Roye Ga Tou Mar Jaye Ga
