Silsilay Tor Gaya Woh Sabhi Jatay Jatay

Warna Itne To Marasim The Ke Aate Jate

Shikwa e Zulmat e Shab Sey Tou Behter Tha

Apney Hissay Ki Koi Shamma Jalatay Jatay

Kitna Asaan Tha Teray Hijr Mein Marna Janaa

Phir Bhee Ik Umr Lagi Jaan Se Jatay Jatay

Jashn e Maqtal Hi Na Barpa Hua Warna Hum

Pa’ Bajoulaan Hi Sahi, Nachte Gaate Jatay

Us Ki Woh Jane Usey Pass e Wafa Tha Keh Na Tha

Tum Apni Taraf Se To Faraz Nibhate Jate

Wo dushman-E-jaN, jaan se pyaara bhi kabhi tha by Ahmed Faraz

Sad,romantic,classic whatever is the type of poetry you will it Faraz Ahmed's name in this ground.  Ahmed Faraz was a Pakistani Urdu Poet. He was considered one of the greatest modern urdu   poet of the last century.  

Wo dushman-E-jaN, jaan se pyaara bhi kabhi tha

Ab kis se kahaiN, koii humaara bhi kabhi tha

Utra hai rag-O-pai mein to dil kaT sa gaya hai

Yeh zehr-E-judaai K gawaara bhi kabhi tha

Har dost jahaN abr-E-gurezaaN ki tarah hai

Ye shehar kabhi shehr humaara bhi kabhi tha

Titli ke ta’aaqub mein koi phool sa bachcha

Aisaa hi koi khaab humaara bhi kabhi tha

Ab agle zamaane ke milen log toh puchheiN

Jo haal humara hai tumhaara bhi kabhi tha?

Har bazm mein hum ne usay afsurda hi dekha

kahte hain ‘Faraz’ anjuman-aara bhi kabhi tha

(Ahmed Faraz)
