koi manzar bhi suhana nahin rahne dete
aankh men rang-e-tamasha nahin rahne dete
chahchahate hue panchhi ko uḌa dete hain
kisi sar men koi sauda nahin rahne dete
raushni ka koi parcham jo uTha kar nikle
is tarah daar ko zinda nahin rahne dete
kya zamana hai ye kya log hain kya duniya hai
jaisa chahe koi vaisa nahin rahne dete
kya kahen dida-varo ham to vo dariya-dil hain
kabhi sahil ko bhi pyasa nahin rahne dete
rahzanon ka vahi manshur hai ab bhi ‘farigh’
sar-kashida koi jaada nahin rahne dete
