Yaadon ka ajib silsila hai

yaadon ka ajib silsila hai
soya hua dard jag uTha hai

miT bhi chuke naqsh-e-pa magar dil
mahki hui chap sun raha hai

jalti hui manzilon ka rahi
ab apna hi saya DhunDhta hai

diwaren khaDi hui hain lekin
andar se makan gir raha hai

puchhe hai chaTak ke ghuncha-e-zaKHm
ai ajnabi tera nam kya hai

sochon ke athah paniyon mein
dil barf ka phul ban gaya hai

kis shola-badan ki yaad aai
daman-e-KHayal jal uTha hai

taKHliq mein KHud chhupa hua hai
fankar bhi fitratan KHuda hai

murjha ke har ek zard patta
aaweza-e-gosh ban gaya hai

socha hai ye main ne pi ke aksar
nashshe mein ye raushni si kya hai

shaKHon pe pujaranen saji hain
har phul chaman ka dewta hai

sahra-e-wafa mein mere fan ki
KHushbu ka charagh jal raha hai

phir paenge KHak se numu hum
'farigh' ye usul-e-irtiqa hai

izhaar ka jis ko hausla hai
wo apni sadi ka dewta hai

mansur se kam nahin hai wo bhi
jo apni zaban se bolta hai

wo peD hai zindagi ki azmat
jo tund hawa se laD raha hai

qatil ko duaen do ki 'farigh'
har zaKHm-e-wafa ghazal-sara hai
