Classic Poem

havaa ke zor se pindaar-e-baam-o-daar bhii gayaa
chiraaG ko jo bachaate the un kaa ghar bhii gayaa

pukaarate rahe mahafuuz kishtiyo.n vaale
mai.n Duubataa huaa dariyaa ke paar utar bhii gayaa

ab ehatiyaat kii diivaar kyaa uThaate ho
jo chor dil me.n chhupaa thaa vo kaam kar bhii gayaa

mai.n chup rahaa ki is me.n thii aafiyat jaa.N kii
koii to merii tarah thaa jo daar par bhii gayaa

sulagate sochate viiraa.N mausamo.n kii tarah
ka.Daa thaa ahad-e-javaanii magar guzar bhii gayaa

jise bhulaa na sakaa us ko yaad kyaa rakhataa
jo naam dil me.n rahaa zehan se utar bhii gayaa

phaTii-phaTii huii aa.Nkho.n se yuu.N na dekh mujhe
tujhe talaash hai jis kii vo shaKhs mar bhii gayaa

magar falak kii adaavat usii ke ghar se na thii
jahaa.N 'Faraz' na thaa sail-e-Gam udhar bhii gayaa
