kuchh ishaare the jinhen duniyaa samajh baithe the hum
us nigaah-e-aashnaa ko kyaa samajh baithe the hum

raftaa raftaa Gair apani hi nazar main ho gaye
vaah ri gaflat tujhe apnaa samajh baithe the hum

hosh ki taufiq bhi kab ahal-e-dil ko ho saki
ishq main apane ko deevaanaa samajh baithe the hum

beniyaazi ko teri paayaa saraasar soz-o-dard
tujh ko ik duniyaa se begaanaa samajh baithe the hum

bhool baithihi vo nigaah-e-naaz ahad-e-dostii
us ko bhi apani tabiyat kaa samajh baithe the hum

husn ko ik husn ki samajhe nahin aur ai 'Firaq'
meharbaan naameharbaan kyaa kyaa samajh baithe the hum
