bahut pahale se un qadamo.n kii aahaaT jaan lete hai.n 
tujhe ai zi.ndagii ham duur se pahachaan lete hai.n 

merii nazare.n bhii aise qaatilo.n kaa jaan-o-imaa.N hai 
nigaahe.n milate hii jo jaan aur imaan lete hai.n 

tabiyat apanii ghabaraatii hai jab sun-saan raato.n me.n 
ham aise me.n terii yaado.n kii chaadar taan lete hai.n 

Khud apanaa faisalaa bhii ishq me.n kafii nahii.n hotaa 
use bhii kaise kar guzare.n jo dil me.n Thaan lete hai.n 

jise suurat bataate hai.n pataa detii hai siirat kaa 
ibaarat dekh kar jis tarahaa maanii jaan lete hai.n 

tujhe ghaaTaa na hone de.nge kaarobaar-e-ulfat me.n 
ham apane sar teraa ai dost har ehasaan lete hai.n 

hamaarii har nazar tujhase nayii sauga.ndh khaatii hai 
to terii har nazar se ham nayaa paiGaam lete hai.n 

'Firaq' aksar badal kar bhes milataa hai ko_ii qaafir 
kabhii ham jaan lete hai.n kabhii pahachaan lete hai.n
