chehre badal badal ke kahaani sunaa gae — Farhat Abbas

zalzalon ki numud se 'farhat'
mustaqar mustaqar nahin rahte

tum use le chalo lab-e-kausar
ai farishto ye karbalaai hai

donon laazim hain laa-zavaal bhi hain
ik tiraa husn ik miraa ye ishq

tere saanche mein Dhal gayaa aakhir
shahr saaraa badal gayaa aakhir

jise bhi dost banaayaa vo ban gayaa dushman
ye ham ne kaun si taqsir ki sazaa paai

baat ahl-e-junun ki kyaa samjhe
vo khirad jo kaDe ziyaan mein hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

ye saal tul-e-masaafat se chuur chuur gayaa
ye ek saal to guzraa hai ik sadi ki tarah

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai
