Ahmed Faraz

1)Jaane Kis Baat Pe Us Ne Mujhe Chor Diye Hai Faraz!!!
Main To Mukhlis Tha Kisi Maan KI Duaon KI Tarah

2)Us Shaks Ko To Bichadeny Ka Saleka Nahi FARAZ!!
Jatay Hoe Khud KO Mere Pass Chor Gaya

3)Be-Jaan To Main Ab Bhe Nahi FARAZ…..!!!!!
Magar Jise Jan Kehte The Wo Chor Gaya

4)Zabt e Ghum Koi Aasan Kam Nahe Faraz!
Aag Hote Hai Wo Aanso, Jo Piye Jate Hain.

5)Kyun Ulghta Rehta Hai tu Logo Se Faraz!!
Yeh Zrori To Nahi Woh Chehra Sabhe Ko Pyara Lage

Aisa Nahi Keh Hum Ko Mohabbat Nahi Mili
Jaisi Chahtey Thay Hum Ko Woh Ulfat Nahi Mili,


Milney Ko Zindagi Main Kayee Hum-Safar Miley
Per Un Ki Tabiyat Se Tabiyat Nahi Mili,


Chehroon Main Doosroo Kay Tumhain Doondtey Rahey
Surat Nahi Mili Kahin Seerat Nahi Mili,


Bohat Dair Se Aaya Tu Mere Paas Kiya Kahoon
Alfaaz Dhondney Ki Bhi Mohlat Nahi Mili,


Tujh Ko Gilla Raha Keh Tawajja Na Di Tujhey
Laikin Humain Khud Apni Rafaqat Nahi Mili,


Her Shaks Zindgi Main Bohat Dair Se Mila
Koi Bhi Cheez Waqt-e-Zaroorat Nahi Mili,


Hum Ko To Teri Aadat Achi Lagi "Faraz"
Afsoos Ke Tujh Se Meri Aadat Nahi Mili
