maut ek geet raat gaati thi
zindagi jhuum-jhuum jaati thi
kabhi diivaane ro bhi padte the
kabhi terii bhii yaad aati thi
kis ke maatam mein chaand taaron se
raat bazm-e-azaa sajati thi
rote jaate the tere hijr nasib
raat furqat kii Dhalati jaati thi
kho_ii kho_ii sii rahati thi vo aankh
dil kaa har bhed paa bhi jaati thi
zikr tha rang-o-buu kaa au' dil mein
teri tasvir utarati jaati thi
husn me.n thii in aansuon ki chamak
zindagi jin mein muskurati thi
dard-e-hasti chamak uThaa jis mein
vo ham ahal-e-vafaa ki chhaati thi
tere un aansuon ki yaad aayi
zindagii jin mein muskuraati thi
thaa sukuut-e-fazaa tarannum-rez
buu-e-gesuu-e-yaar gaati thi
Gam-e-jaanaa.N ho yaa.N Gam-e-dauraan
lau si kuchh dil mein jhil-milaati thi
zindagi ko vafaa ki raahon mein
maut Khud raushani dikhaati thi
baat kyaa thi ki dekhate hi tujhe
ulfat-e-ziist bhul jaati thi
the na afalaak gosh bar aavaaz
beKhudi daastaan sunaati thi
karavatein le ufaq pe jaise subah
ko_ii doshizaa ras-masaati thi
zindagi zindagi ko vaqt-e-safar
kaaravaan-kaaravaan chhupaati thi
saamane tere jaise koi baat
yaad aa-aa ke bhuul jaati thi
vo teraa Gam ho yaa Gam-e-duniyaa
shamma-sii dil mein jhil-milaati thi
Gam ki vo daastaan-e-niim-shabi
aasmaanon ko nind aatii thi
maut bhi gosh bhar sadaa thi "Firaq"
zindagi koi giit gaati thi...
