Meray Sabar Ki Intiha Kiya Puchatay Ho Faraz
Wo Mujh Say Lipat Kay Roya Kisi Aur K Liye
میرے صبر کی انتہا کیا پو چھتے ہو فراز
وہ مجھ سے لپٹ کے رویا کسی اور کے لیے
Dil Ko Teri Chaht Pe Bharosa Bhe Buhat Hai
Or Tujh Say Bichahr Jane Ka Darr Bhe Nahi Jata
دل کو تیری چاہت یہ بھروسہ بھی بہت ہے
اور تجھ سے بچھڑ جانے کا ڈر بھی نہیں جاتا
Us Ki Ankhn Ko Kabhi Goor Say Dekha Hai Faraz
Rone Walon Ki Trhan Jagne Walon Jaise…
اس کی آنکھوں کو کبھی غور سے دیکھا ہے فراز
رونے والوں کی طرح جاگنے والوں جیسی
Kon Kis K Sath Kitna Mukhles Hai Faraz
Waqt Har Shakhs Ki Okat Bata Daita Hai
کون کس کے ساتھ کتنا مخلص ہے فراز
وقت ہر شخص کی اوقات بتا دیتا ہے
Main Wahan Hun Jahan Jahan Tum Ho
Tum Karo Gay Kahan Kahan Say Goreaz
میں وہاں ہوں جہاں جہاں تم ہو
تم کروگے کہاں کہاں سے گریز
Ahmad Faraz Shayari 2 Lines In Urdu
Tery Hote Huwe Aajati The Sari Duniya
Aaj Tanha Hun To Koi Nahi Ane Wala
تیرے ہوتے ہوئے آجاتی تھی ساری دنیا
آج تنہا ہوں توکوئی نہیں آنے والا
Tu Aapni Shesha Gere Ka Hunar Na Kar Zaya
Main Aaiyna Hun Mujhy Tootne Ki Aadat Hai
تو اپنی شیشہ گری کا ہنر نہ کر ضا ئع
میں آئنیہ ہوں مجھے ٹوٹنے کی عادت ہے
Tu Samne Hai To Pher Kun Yakeen Nahi Aata
Ye Jo Bar Bar Aankhon Ko Mal K Dekhtey Hen
تو سامنے ہے تو پھر کیوں یقین نہیں آتا
یہ بار بار جو آنکھوں کو مل کے دیکھتے ہیں
Kuch To Meri Mohabbet Ka Bharam Rakh
Tu Bhe To Kabhi Mujhy Man’naney K Liye Aa
کچھ تو میری محبت کا بھرم رکھ
تُو بھی تو کبھی مجھ کو منانے کے لیے آ
Zindagi Say Ye’he Gila Hai Mujhy
Tu Buhat Dair Say Mila Hai Mujhy
زندگی سے یہی گِلہ ہے مُجھے
تو بہت دیر سے ملا ہے مجھ
کوئی تجھ سا ہو تو پھر نام بھی تجھ سا رکھے
ہم کو اچھا نہیں لگتا کوئی ہم نام ترا
اگر تمہاری انا ہی کا ہے سوال تو پھر
چلو میں ہاتھ بڑھاتا ہوں دوستی کے لیے
Zindagi Say Ye He Gila Hai Mujhy
Tu Buht Dair Say Mila Hai Mujhy
زندگی سے یہی گلہ ہے مجھے
تو بہت دیر سے ملا ہے مجھے
اب کے ہم بچھڑے تو شاید کبھی خوابوں میں ملیں
جس طرح سوکھے ہوئے پھول کتابوں میں ملیں
Ab K Hum Bichreh To Shayad Kabhi Kahwabon Main Mile
Jis Trhan Sokhey Huwe Phool Kitaboon Main Mile
کس کس کو بتائیں گے جدائی کا سبب ہم
تو مجھ سے خفا ہے تو زمانے کے لیے آ
Kis Kis Ko Batain Gay Judai Ka Sa’bab Hum
Tu Mujh Say Khafa Hai To Zamaney K Liye Aja
ہوا ہے تجھ سے بچھڑنے کے بعد یہ معلوم
کہ تو نہیں تھا تیرے ساتھ ایک دنیا تھی
Huwa Hai Tujh Say Bichrhne K Bad Ye Maloom
K To Nahi Tha Tery Sath Aik Duniya The
کسی کو گھر سے نکلتے ہی مل گئی منزل
کوئی ہماری طرح عمر بھر سفر میں رہا
Kise Ko Ghar Say Nikalte He Mil Gai Manzil
Koi Humari Tarhan Umar Bhar Safar Main Rha
آج اک اور برس بیت گیا اس کے بغیر
جس کے ہوتے ہوئے ہوتے تھے زمانے میرے
Aj Ek Baras Beet Gaya Us K Begair
Jis K Hote Huwe Hote Thay Zam’mane Meray
تم تکلف کو بھی اخلاص سمجھتے ہو فرازؔ
دوست ہوتا نہیں ہر ہاتھ ملانے والا
ابھی تو جاگ رہے ہیں چراغ راہوں کے
ابھی ہے دور سحر تھوڑی دور ساتھ چلو
ہنسی خوشی سے بچھڑ جا اگر بچھڑنا ہے
یہ ہر مقام پہ کیا سوچتا ہے آخر تو
دل بھی پاگل ہے کے اس شخص سے وابستہ ہے
جو کسی اور کا ہونے دے نہ اپنا رکھے
