Sab qareenay usi dildaar ke rakh dete hain

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
