kuchh ishaare the jinhe.n duniyaa samajh baiThe the ham
us nigaah-e-aashanaa ko kyaa samajh baiThe the ham

raftaa raftaa Gair apanii hii nazar me.n ho gaye
vaah rii Gaflat tujhe apanaa samajh baiThe the ham

hosh kii taufiiq bhii kab ahal-e-dil ko ho sakii
ishq me.n apane ko diivaanaa samajh baiThe the ham

beniyaazii ko terii paayaa saraasar soz-o-dard
tujh ko ik duniyaa se begaanaa samajh baiThe the ham

bhuul baiThii vo nigaah-e-naaz ahad-e-dostii
us ko bhii apanii tabiiyat kaa samajh baiThe the ham

husn ko ik husn kii samajhe nahii.n aur ai 'Firaq'
mehar_baa.N naamehar_baa.N kyaa kyaa samajh baiThe the ham
