[Dark Legion]

Aankh se door na ho dil se utar jaayegaa



AaNkh se door na ho dil se utar jaayegaa
Waqt kaa kyaa hai guzarataa hai guzar jaayegaa

Itanaa maanuus na ho Khilvat-e-Gam se apanii
tuu kabhii Khud ko bhii dekhegaa to Darr jaayegaa

tum sar-e-raah-e-vafaa dekhte reh jaaoge
aur vo baam-e-rafaaqat se utar jaayegaa

zindagii terii ataa hai to ye jaanevaalaa
terii baKhshiish terii dehliiz pe dhar jaayegaa

Doobte Doobte kashtii to ochhaalaa de doon
main nahin koii to saahil pe utar jaayegaa

zabt laazim hai magar dukh hai qayaamat kaa 'Faraz'
zaalim ab ke bhii na royegaa to mar jaayegaa

Ab ke ham bichhre to shaayad kabhii khvaabon mein milen



ab ke ham bichhre to shaayad kabhii Khvaabon mein milen
jis tarah suukhe hue phuul kitaabon mein milen

Dhoond ujare hue logon mein vafaa ke motii
ye Khazaane tujhe mumkin hai Kharaabon mein mile.n

tuu Khudaa hai na meraa ishq farishton jaisaa
dono insaan hain to kyon itane hijaabon mein milen

Gam-e-duniyaa bhii Gam-e-yaar mein shaamil kar lo
nashaa barhta hai sharaben jo sharaabon mein milen

aaj ham daar pe khenche gaye jin baaton par
kyaa ajab kal vo zamaane ko nisaabon mein milen

ab na vo main hooN na tu hai na vo maazii hai `Faraaz',
jaise do shaKhs tamannaa ke saraabon meim milen

ab ke rut badlii to Khushbuu kaa safar dekhegaa kaun



ab ke rut badlii to Khushbuu kaa safar dekhegaa kaun
zaKhm phuulon kii tarah mehakenge par dekhegaa kaun

dekhnaa sab raqs-e-bismal mein magan ho jaayenge
jis taraf se tiir aayegaa udhar dekhegaa kaun

vo havas ho yaa vafaa ho baat mehroomi kii hai
log to phal-phuul dekhenge shajar dekhegaa kaun

ham chiraag-e-shab hii jab thehre to phir kyaa sochna
raat thii kis kaa muqaddar aur sehar dekhegaa kaun

aa fasiil-e-shahar se dekhen Ganiim-e-shahar ko
shahar jalataa ho to tujh ko baam par dekhegaa kaun

ab k tajdiid-e-vafaa kaa nahin imkaan jaanaaN



ab ke tajdiid-e-vafaa kaa nahin imkaaN jaanaaN
yaad kyaa tujh ko dilaayeN tera paimaaN jaanaaN

yuN hii mausam kii adaa dekh ke yaad aayaa hai
kis qadar jald badal jaate hain insaaN jaanaaN

zindagii terii ataa thii so tere naam kii hai
ham ne jaise bhii basar kii teraa ehsaaN jaanaaN

dil ye kehtaa hai k shaayad ho fasurdaa tuu bhii
dil kii kyaa baat karen dil to hai naadaaN jaanaaN

avval-avval kii muhabbat ke nashe yaad to kar
be-piye bhii tera chehraa tha gulistaaN jaanaaN

aaKhir aaKhir to ye aalam hai ki ab hosh nahiin
rag-e-miinaa sulag uthi k rag-e-jaaN jaanaaN

muddaton se ye aalam na tavaqqo na ummeed
dil pukaare hii chalaa jaataa hai jaanaaN jaanaaN

ham bhii kyaa saadaa the ham ne bhii samajh rakhaa thaa
Gam-e-dauraaN se judaa hai Gam-e-jaanaaN jaanaaN

ab k kuchh aisii sajii mahafil-e-yaaraaN jaanaaN
sar-ba-zaanuu hai koi sar-ba-girebaaN jaanaaN

har koi apni hii aavaaz se kaaNp uthtaa hai
har koi apane hii saaye se hiraasaaN jaanaaN

jis ko dekho vahii zanjiir-ba-paa lagtaa hai
shehar ka shehar hua daaKhil-e-zindaaN jaanaaN

ab teraa zikr bhii shaayad hii Gazal men aaye
aur se aur huaa dard kaa unvaaN jaanaaN

ham ki ruuthii hui rut ko bhii manaa lete the
ham ne dekhaa hii na thaa mausam-e-hijraaN jaanaaN

hosh aayaa to sabhii Khvaab the rezaa-rezaa
jaise urrate huye auraaq-e-pareshaaN jaanaaN

ab naye saal ki mohalat nahin milne vaalii



ab naye saal kii mohalat nahin milne vaalii
aa chuke ab to shab-o-roz azaabon vaale

ab to sab dashnaa-o-Khanjar kii zubaaN bolate hain
ab kahaaN log muhabbat ke nisaabon vaale

zindaa rehne ki tamannaa ho to ho jaate hain
faaKhtaaon ke bhii kirdaar uqaabon vaale

na mere zaKhm khile hain na teraa rang-e-hinaa
mausam aaye hi nahin ab ke gulaabon vaale

aise chup hain ke ye manzil bhii kaDii ho jaise




aise chup hain ke ye manzil bhii kaDii ho jaise
teraa milna bhi judaai ki ghaDi ho jaise

apane hi saaye se har gaam laraz jaataa huuN
raaste mein koi diivaar khaDi ho jaise

manzilen door bhi hain manzilen nazdik bhi hain
apne hi paaon mein zanjir paDii ho jaise

kitne naadaan hain tere bhulane vaale ke tujhe
yaad karne ke liye umr paDii ho jaise

aaj dil khol ke roye hain to yuuN Khush hai 'Faraz'
chand lamhon ki ye raahat bhii baDii ho jaise

badan mein aag si chehraa gulaab jaisaaa hai




badan mein aag si chehraa gulaab jaisaaa hai
ke zahar-e-Gam kaa nashaa bhi sharaab jaisaa hai

kahaaN vo qurb ke ab to ye haal hai jaise
tere firaaq kaa aalam bhii Khvaab jaisaa hai

magar kabhi koi dekhe koi paDhe to sahii
dil aainaa hai to chehraa kitaab jaisaa hai

vo saamne hai magar tishnagii nahiin jaatii
ye kyaa sitam hai ke dariyaa saraab jaisaa hai

'Faraz' sang-e-malaamat se zaKhm zaKhm sahi
hamen aziiz hai Khaanaa_Kharaab jaisaa hai

barason ke baad dekhaa ik shaKhs dil_rubaa saa



barason k baad dekhaa ik shaKhs dil_rubaa saa
ab zehan mein nahin hai par naam tha bhalaa saa

abruu khinche khinche se aaNkhen jhukii jhukii sii
baaten rukii rukii sii lahjaa thakaa thakaa saa

alfaaz the ke jugnuu aavaaz k safar men
ban jaaye jangalon mein jis tarah raastaa saa

Khvaabon mein Khvaab us ke yaadon mein yaad us kii
neendon mein ghul gayaa ho jaise ke rat_jagaa saa

pahle bhi log aaye kitne hi zindagii mein
vo har tarah se lekin auron se tha judaa saa

aglii muhabbaton ne vo naa_muraadiyaaN din
taazaa rafaaqaton se dil tha Daraa Daraa saa

kuchh ye ke muddaton se ham bhi nahin the roye
kuchh zehar mein bujha tha ahbaab ka dilaasaa

phir yuuN hua k saavan aaNkhon mein aa base the
phir yuuN hua k jaise dil bhii thaa aablaa saa

ab sach kahen to yaaro ham ko Khabar nahiin thi
ban jaayegaa qayaamat ik vaaqiaa zara saa

tevar the beruKhii k andaaz dostii k
vo ajanabi tha lekin lagtaa thaa aashnaa saa

ham dasht the ke dariyaa ham zehar the ke amrit
naahaq thaa zoNum ham ko jab vo nahin tha pyaasaa

ham ne bhi us ko dekhaa kal shaam ittefaaqan
apnaa bhi haal hai ab logo 'Faraz' kaa saa

beniyaaz-e-Gam-e-paimaan-e-vafaa ho jaanaa



beniyaaz-e-Gam-e-paimaan-e-vafaa ho jaanaa
tum bhi auron ki tarah mujh se judaa ho jaanaa

main bhi palakon pe sajaa luuNgaa lahuu kii buuNden
tum bhii paabastaa-e-zanjiir-e-hiinaa ho jaanaa

Khalq kii sang_zanii merii Khataaon ka silaa
tum to maasuum ho tum door zaraa ho jaanaa

ab mere vaaste tariyaq hai ilhaad kaa zehar
tum kisi aur pujaarii k Khuda ho jaanaa

chheDe main ne kabhi lab-o-ruKhsaar ke qisse




chheDe main ne kabhi lab-o-ruKhsaar ke qisse
gahe gul-o-bul_bul ki hikaayat ko nikhaaraa
gahe kisii shahazaade ke afsaane sunaaye
gahe kya duniyaa-e-paristaaN kaa nazaaraa
main khoyaa rahaa jin-o-malaik ke jahaaN men
har lehjaa agarche mujhe aadam ne pukaaraa

barason yuuN hi dil_jamii-e-aurang kii Khaatir
sau phuul khilaaye kabhi sau zaKhm Kharide
main likhtaa rahaa hijr baGaavat manshuun ki
main paDhtaa rahaa qasr_nashiinon ke qaside
ubhraa bhi agar dil men koi jazabaa-e-sar_kash
is Khauf se chup thaa ke koi honTh na si de

lekin ye tilismaat bhi taa der na rah paaye
aaKhir mai-o-miinaa-o-Daf-o-chang bhi TuutTe
yuuN dast-o-garebaaN hua insaan-o-Khudaaband
nakhachiir to taDape qafas-e-rang bhi TuuTe
is kashmakash-e-zarraa-o-anjum kii fizaa mein
kash_kol to kyaa afsar-o-aurang bhii TuuTe

main dekh rahaa tha mere yaaron ne baDhakar
qaatil ko pukaaraa kabhi maqtal ko sadaa di
gahe rasn-o-daar ke aaGosh men jhuule
gahe haram-o-dair kii buniyaad hilaa di
jis aag se bhar_puur thaa maahaul kaa siinaa
vo aag mere lauh-o-qalam ko bhii pilaa di

aur aaj shikastaa huaa har tauq-e-talaaii
ab fan mera darbaar ki jagiir nahiin hai
ab meraa hunar hai mere jamahuur ki daulat
ab meraa junuuN kaif-e-taaziir nahin hai
ab dil pe jo guzaregii be-Tok kahuuNgaa
ab mere qalam main koi zanjiir nahin hai

dil bhi bujha ho shaam ki parachhaaiyaaN bhi hon



dil bhi bujha ho shaam ki parachhaaiyaaN bhi hon
mar jaaiye jo aise mein tanhaaiyaaN bhi hon

aaNkhon ki surKh lahar hai mauj-e-suparadagii
ye kyaa zaruur hai ke ab angaDaaiyaaN bhi hon

har husn-e-saadaa lau na dil mein utar sakaa
kuchh to mizaaj-e-yaar mein geharaaiyaaN bhi hon

duniyaa ke tazakire to tabiyat hi le bujhe
baat us ki ho to phir suKhan aaraaiyaaN bhi hon

pehle pahal ka ishq abhi yaad hai 'Faraz'
dil Khud ye chaahtaa hai ke rusvaaiyaaN bhi hon
