Hijr se chhupna chahte the hum, ishq ki chadar daal ke
Aan zameen pe jam baithe hain log the hum paataal ke
Shaan mein teri sher likhe hain itr mein misre daal ke
Agar ijaazat ho to bolein jogi ek sawaal ke
Ek sawaal mohabbat ka hai, ek sawaal hai yaar ka
Ek udaasi ka mausam hai, ek gila dildaar ka
Tanhaai mein guzar gaya hai mausam ain bahaar ka
Poochhne wala koi nahi hai haal tere beemaar ka
Ek giraft zamaane ki aur ek shikanja maut ka
Ek taariki neend bhari aur ek andhera jaagta
Hijr mein dooba saaz pada hai dard ka raag alaapta
Wahi bachaye aakar hum ko jo khud unse bach saka
Peer Fareedؒ alawa tere kaun kare dildariyaan
Kaun uthaye naaz kisi ke, kaun nibhaaye yaariyaan
Kaun sune is hijr ke qisse, kaun kare ghamkhwariyaan
Ro ro yaar ke hijr mein humne apni aankhein haariyaan
Sher, shaoor se jod ke naata khud ko bhog laga liya
Ishq mein ghaflat barat ke humne fan ko rog laga liya
Jaan ke surma aankhon mein jab chaaha sog laga liya
Rooh ko yak-sar bhool ke humne tan se jog laga liya
Neech bahut the saaiyaan humne neecha-pan dikhla diya
Bartaan zang-aalood tha lekin ragad ragad chamka diya
Itr faroshi karte karte nakli itr bana diya
Yani bhes badal kar humne khud ko kahin dafna diya
Bhool Khuda ko humne dhoonda adal kisi zanjeer mein
Mazhab, deen, imaan ko humne sirf rakha tahreer mein
Asal ko bhool ke yaar ko dhoonda humne sada tasveer mein
Yaar na paaya to phir gin gin aib gine taqdeer mein
Jism kahin pe dheyr kiya aur dhyan kahin pe laga liya
Chola sabz pehen kar humne khud ko peer bana liya
Aag pakadne ki koshish mein haath bhi apna jala liya
Qismat se naaraaz hue jab humne sab kuch paa liya
Tobhe sab weeraan hue hain sookh gayi haryaaliyaan
Man man bhaari lagne lagi hain kaanon ki ab baaliyaan
Dain ban ke khoon ko choosen hijr ki raaten kaaliyaan
Yaar bina sab zard hui hain rukhsaaron ki laaliyaan
Sab kirdaar mare jaate hain bhool rahi hain kahaaniyan
Peet preet ka naam nahi hai khaak hui hain nishaaniyan
Un dekhe ek hijr mein khoye alhad shokh jawaaniyan
Gham ki aaj kaneezein hain sab apne waqt ki raaniyan
Bhar bhar peelo chugne wali khaali hain ab jholiyan
Peengh panghore toote gaye aur rooth gayi humjoliyan
Geet goiye marne lage aur fauq hui hain boliyan
Ishq ne kitni jattiyaan saaiyaan rohi mein hain roliyaan
Ishq ke paalan-haar Fareeda! Saanwal apne ghar gaye
Aur dhamalein daalne wale mast alast bikhar gaye
Jo "Subhan teri qudrat" kehte the teetar mar gaye
Rohi ke weeraane ko bas naam humare kar gaye
Rohi ki sunsaan shabon mein apne aap ko kho diya
Jism khajooron ki shaakhon pe "doka doka" pro diya
Dekh ke haal humara ret ka zarra zarra ro diya
Gandum ke kheton mein Maula "jangli jai" ko bo diya
Phoolon ki khwahish mein humne kitne kaante paa liye
Kaante jo peeron mein chubhe the aaj saron tak aa liye
Zeher ragon mein phail raha hai aap hi aa ke nikaaliye
"MeeThe bair" samajh kar humne "kadwe tame" kha liye
Yaar ajab hain khush baithe hain dil ki baazi haar ke
Qismat aage band hue darwaze soch bichar ke
Saare lohe dhal jaate hain aage ek lohaar ke
Jang shadeed thi chahat wali, waar the apne sanaar ke
Ashk humare paas the jo pal bhar mein woh sab beh gaye
Hijre jo tameer kiye the aan ki aan mein dheh gaye
Ek hi ishq kiya tha humne aur us mein bhi reh gaye
Hum apni auqaat se bhi badh kar Maula dukh seh gaye
Sona peetal lagne laga hai hosh humare ajab gaye
Ret se jee ko aise lagaya chhoot khilone sab gaye
Peer Fareedؒ bhi rooth ke shaayad hum se des-e-Arab gaye
Hichki hichki saans ruka aur aakhir jaan ba-lab gaye
Aan zameen pe jam baithe hain log the hum paataal ke
Shaan mein teri sher likhe hain itr mein misre daal ke
Agar ijaazat ho to bolein jogi ek sawaal ke
Ek sawaal mohabbat ka hai, ek sawaal hai yaar ka
Ek udaasi ka mausam hai, ek gila dildaar ka
