Ahmed Faraz Poetry

Humi ne tark-e-taluq main pehel ki ke Faraz,
Woh chahtaa tha magar hauslaa na tha us ka..

Beniyaaz-E-Gham-E-Paimaan-E-Wafa Ho Jana,
Tum Bhi Auron Ki Tarah Mujhse Juda Ho Jana,
Main Bhi Palkon Pe Saja Lunga Lahoo Ki Boondein,
Tum Bhi Paabasta-E-Zanjeer-E-Heena Ho Jana,
Khalq Ki Sang-Zani Meri Khaton Ka Sila,
Tum Tou Masoom Ho, Tum Door Zara Ho Jana,
Ab Mere Waaste Tariyaq Hai Ilhaad Ka Zeher,
Tum Kisi Aur Pujaari Ke Khuda Ho Jana

Yeh kya ke beyaan sab se dil ki haaltain karni,
Faraz tujh ko na aayin mohabbtain karni..

Abhi abhi woh mila tha hazaar batain ki’n,
Abhi abhi woh geya hai magar zamaana hua..

Zikr us ka hi sahi bazm main bethe ho Faraz,
Dard kesa hi uthay hath na dil par rakhna.

Itne Bhi Tou Wo Khafaa Nahi Thay
Jaisay Kubhi Aashna Nahi Thay
Maana Ke Behem Kahan Thay Aisay
Per Yun Bhi Judaa Judaa Nahi Thay
Thi Jitni Bisaat, Ki Parastish
Tum Bhi Tou Koi Khudaa Nahi Thay
Had Hoti Hai Tanz Ki Bhi Aakhir
Ham Tere Nahi Thay, Jaa Nahi Thay
Kis Kis Se Nibhaatay Rafaaqat
Hum Loog Ke Bewafa Nahi Thay
Rukhsat Howa Wo Tou Mein Ne Dekha
Phool Itnay Bhi Khushnuma Nahi Thay
Thay Yun Tou Hum Oski Anjuman Mein
Koi Hamain Dekhta, Nahi Thay
Jab Osko Tha Maan Khud Pe Kia Kia
Tab Ham Bhi “Faraz” Kia Nahi Thay

Woh aik raat guzar bhi gayi magar ab tak,
Visaal-e-yaar ki lazzat mein toot’ta hai badan..

Woh zindagi ho ke dunya Faraz kya kijiye,
Ke jiss se ishq karo bewafa nikalti hai..

Toota to hoon magar abhi bikhraa nahin Faraz,
Mere badan pe jese shikaston ka jaal ho..

Chandni Raat Ko Saher Kehna
Dosto Yoon Nahi, Magar Kehna,
Ab Kahaan Woh Bahaar Phoolon Ki
Gul-e-Nargis Ko Chashm-e-Tar Kehna,
Bujh Chuke Hain MUhabbaton Kay Charagh
In Diyaaron Ko Ab Khandar Kehna,
Raah Mein Lutt Kay Baythne Waalo
Ab Kisi Ko Na Humsafar Kehna,
Khud Ujaagar Karo Hunar Apna
Dosron Ko Na Kam Nazar Kehna,
Hum Ko Awaargi Kay Parde Mein
Dil Ki Baaten Edhar Udhar kehna,
Zikar Teraa Gali Gali Karna
Haal Apna Nagar Nagar kehna,
Ab Goya Azaab-e-Jaan Hai “Faraz”
Jo Bhi Kehna Ho Soch Kar kehna.
