gul-o-gulzar guhar chand sitare bachche
rang-o-bu nuur ke paikar hain ye saare bachche
aa.ine hain ki damakte hue chehre in ke
aise shaffaf ki dariyaon ke dhare bachche
kitne ma.asum ke ye saanp pakaḌna chahen
kitne bhole hain ki chhute hain sharare bachche
aane valon ko bata dete hain ghar ki baten
kab samajhte hain ye ankhon ke ishare bachche
ḳhud se das-bis baras aur baḌe lagte hain
ghar banate hue dariya ke kinare bachche
gaanv jaata huun to chaupal ka ik buḌha daraḳht
bahen phaila ke ye kahta ki aa re bachche
ab na vo khel khilaune na shararat ‘faruq’
kitne ḳhamosh akele hain hamare bachche
