itni KHarab surat-e-haalat bhi nahin
jo kah na paun aisi koi baat bhi nahin
suraj ka ganw jis ki jataon mein thi asir
ai shahr-e-be-charagh ye wo raat bhi nahin
phir aaj uTh raha hai dhuan dal ke aas-pas
tajdid-e-arzu-e-mulaqat bhi nahin
Darta hun apne sae se mein KHud-gazida hun
sine mein koi shorish-e-zulmat bhi nahin
'faruq'-nazuki ne khilae lahu ke phul
dil par agarche us ki inayat bhi nahin
Ghazal
Itni KHarab surat-e-haalat bhi nahin
Farooq Nazki
