muntazir kab se tahayyur hai terii taqariir kaa


muntazir kab se tahayyur hai terii taqariir kaa 
baat kar tujh par gumaa.N hone lagaa tasviir kaa 

[muntazir=waiting; tahayyur=amazement; taqariir=speech] 

raat kyaa soye ki baaqii umr kii niind u.D ga_ii 
Khvaab kyaa dekhaa ki dha.Dakaa lag gayaa taabiir kaa 

[taabiir=reality] 

jaane tuu kis aalam me.n bichha.Daa hai ki tere baGair 
aaj tak har lafz fariyaadii merii tahariir kaa 

[tahariir=writing] 

jis tarah baadal kaa saayaa pyaas bha.Dakaataa rahe 
mai.n ne vo aalam bhii dekhaa hai terii tasviir kaa 

kis tarah paayaa tujhe phir kis tarah khoyaa tujhe 
mujh saa munkir bhii to qaa_il ho gayaa taqadiir kaa 

[munkir=atheist; qaa_il honaa=to be a fan/follower] 

ishq me.n sar pho.Danaa bhii kyaa ke ye be-meher log 
juu-e-Khuu.N ko naam dete hai.n juu-e-shiir kaa 

jis ko bhii chaahaa use shiddat se chaahaa hai 'Faraz'
si_-silaa TuuTaa nahii.n dard kii zanjiir kaa
