Ahmed Faraz Poetry

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

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

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

Mein tujhe kho ke bhi zinda hoon, Yeh dekha tu ne,
Kiss qadar hauslaa haarey huye insaan mein hai..

Shab-e-Firaaq Tou Kat’ti Nazar Nahi Aati,
Khayaal-e-Yaar Mein Aao Faraz So Jayein…!

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)

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

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..

Tota tu ho magar abhi bikhra ny faraz
mery badan pay jesy shikaston ka jaal ho

Yeh dil ka chor ke is ki zaroortain theen bohat,
Wagarna tark-e-taluq ki soortain theen bohat,
Miley to toot roye na khul ke batain keen,
Ke jese ab dilon mein Kudurtain theen bohat,
Bula diye hain tere gham ne dukh zamane ke,
Khuda nahin tha tou pathar ki moortain theen bohat,
Dareeda peerhano ka khayal kya ata,
Ameer sheher ki apni zarooratain theen bohat,
Faraz dil ko nigahon se ikhtlaaf raha,
Wagarna sheher mein hum-shakal soortain theen bohat.
