Tere hote hue mahfil main jalte hain chirag,

Tere hote hue mahfil main jalte hain chirag,
Log kya sada hain suraj ko dikhate hain chirag,

Apni mahrumiyo pe sharminda hain,
Khud nahi rakhte to auro k bujhate hain chirag,

Bastiyan chand sitaro pe basane vale,
Kurra-e-arz bujhate jate hain chirag,

Kya Khabar hai un ko k daman bhi bharak uthte hain,
Jo zamane ki havaon se bachte hain chirag,

Aisi tarikiyan ankho main basi hain 'Faraz',
Raat to raat ham din ko jalate hain chirag...
