har tamashai faqat sahil se manzar dekhta

har tamashai faqat sahil se manzar dekhta
kaun dariya ko ulatata kaun gauhar dekhta

wo to duniya ko meri divangi khush a gai
tere hathon main vagarna pahala patthar dekhta

ankh main ansu jare the par sada tujh ko na di
is tavaqqo par ki shayad tu palat kar dekhta

meri qismat ki lakirain mere hathon main na thin
tere mathe par koi mera muqaddar dekhta

zindagi phaili hui thi sham-e-hijran ki tarah
kis ko itana hausala tha kaun ji kar dekhta

dubane vala tha aur sahil pe cheharon ka hujum
pal ki mohalat thi main kis ko ankh bhar ke dekhta

tu bhi dil ko ik lahu ki bond samajha hai 'Faraz'
ankh gar hoti to qatre main samandar dekhta
