Literary
Faraz has been compared with Faiz Ahmad Faiz,holds a unique position as one of the best poets of current times, with a fine but simple style of writing. Even common people can easily understand his poetry.

In an interview with Rediff he recalls how his father, once bought clothes for him on Eid. He didn't like the clothes meant for him, but preferred the ones meant for his elder brother. This lead him to write his first couplet:

:سب کے واسطے لائے ہیں کپڑے سیل سے
:لائے ہیں میرے لیے قیدی کا کمبل جیل سے

Sab kay waste laye hein kaprye sale se
Laye hein mere liye qaidi ka kambal jail se
(He brought clothes for everybody from the sale)

(For me he brought a blanket from jail)

Political
Faraz was arrested for writing poems that criticised military rulers in Pakistan during the Zia-ul-Haq era. Following that arrest he went into a self-imposed exile. He stayed for 6 years in Britain, Canada and Europe before returning to Pakistan, where he was initially appointed Chairman Pakistan Academy of Letters and later chairperson of the Islamabad-based National Book Foundation for several years. He has been awarded with numerous national and international awards. In 2006, he returned the Hilal-e-Imtiaz award he was given in 2004.
He claimed his current writings and said: "I now only write when I am forced to from the inside."^{[citation needed]} Maintaining a tradition established by his mentor, the revolutionary Faiz Ahmad Faiz, he wrote some of his best poetry during those days in exile. Famous amongst poetry of resistance has been "Mahasara". Faraz was also mentioned by actor Shahzada Ghaffar in the Pothwari/Mirpuri telefilm "Khai Aye O".

==*==Silsile tod gaya woh sabhi jaate jaate ==*==

silsile tod gaya woh sabhi jaate jaate

warna itne to marasim the k aate jaate

shikwa-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahin behtar tha

apne hisse ki koi shama jalate jaate

kitna asaan tha tere hizar mein marna jaana

fir bhi ik umar lagi jaan se jaate jaate

jashan-e-maqtal hi na barpa hua warna hum bhi

paab-zoolan hi sahi naachte gaate jaate

uski woh jaane use paas-e-wafa tha k na tha

tum Faraz apni taraf se to nibhaate jaate

----------**********----------

==*==Kyun nahi detay==*==

Khamosh ho kyun, daad-e-wafa kyun nahi detay
Bismil ho to kaatil ko duwa kyun nahi detay

Vahaashat ka sabab ruuzan-e-zindaan to nahi hai
Mahar-o-maah-o-Anjum ko bujha kyun nahi detay

Ik ye bhi to andaaz-e-ilaaj-e-gham-e-jaan hai
Ay chaaragaaro dard barha kyun nahi detay

Munsif ho agar tum to kub insaaf karoge
Mujrim hai agar hum to sazza kyun nahi dete

Rahazan ho to haazir hai mataa-e-dil-o-jaan bhi
Rahabar ho to manzil ka pataa kyuun nahi dete

Kya beet gai ab ke Faraz ahal-e-chaman par
Yaaran-e-qafas mujhko sada kyun nahi dete 

----------**********----------

==*==Abhi to ishq main aisa bhi haal hona hay==*==

Abhi to ishq main aisa bhi haal hona hay
K ashq rokna tum se mohaal hona hay

Har aik lab pe hay meri wafa k afsanay
Tere sitaam ko abhi lazawal hona hay

Tumhain khabar hi nahin tum to loot jao gay
Tumharay hijar main ik lamha sal hona hay

Humari rooh pe jaab bhi azaab otrain hay
Tumhari yaad ko is dil ki dhaal hona hay

Kabhi to roye ga woh bhi kisi ki bahoon main
Kabhi to us ki hansi ko zawal hona hay

Milay gi hum ko bhi apne naseeb ki khushiyaan
Bas intizaar hay kab yeh kamal hona hay

Har aik shaks chalay ga humari rahoon per
Mohabatoon main humahin woh misaal hona hay

Zamana jis k kham-o-peech main olajh jaye
Humari zaat ko aisa sawal hona hay

" yaqeen hay mujh ko woh loot aye ga
Usay bhi apne kiye ka malal hona hay

==*==Baarish ke baad==*==

Hogayi rukhsat ghata baarish ke baad
Ek diya jalta raha baarish ke baad

Mere behte hue Aansuo ko dekh kar
Ro parri thandi hawa baarish ke baad

Meri tanhaayi ka daaman thaam kar
Kuch udaasi ne kaha baarish ke baad

Yaad teri odh kar mein so gayi
Khawaab ka daar khul gaya baarish ke baad

Chand dekh kar baadlo ki qaid mein
Ek sitaara ro diya baarish ke baad

Apne ghar ki har kachi deewaar par
Naam tera likh diya  baarish ke baad

----------**********----------

==*==Is tarah toote==*==

Hum jo toote to is tarah toote
jaise hathon se girr k pathar par
koi shafaaf aaiina toote
jaise palkon se toot tha aansoo
jaise seene main ik kamaan toote
jaise umeed ki nazuk daali
barg mosam main na gahaan toote
jaise aankhon main khwab ki doori
waqt e takmeel se ulajh jaye
jaise pairon tale zameen nikle
jaise sar par yeh asmaan toote
jaise ik shaakh pe bharosa kia
is pe jitne thay aashiyaan toote
jaise wehshat se hosh aa jaye
jaise ta dair main dheyaan toote
ab jo raiza howay to sochte hain
kis nay dekha tha tootna apna
hum jo toote to raayegaan toote

----------**********----------

==*==Woh Baharon Main Zara Kum Mila Karta Hae==*==

Jab Tera Dard Myrey Sath Wafa Karta Hae
Ek Samandar Myri Aankhon Se Baha Karta Hae

Uss Ki Batain Mujey Khushbu Ki Tarah Lagti Hain
Phool Jaisey Koi Sehra Main Khila Karta Hae

Myrey Dost Kii Pehchan Yahi Kaafi Hae
Woh Har Ek Shakhus Ko Daanista Khafa Karta Hae

Aur Tu Koi Sabab Uss Ki Muhabbat Ka Nahi
Baat Itni Hae Kay Woh Muj Se Jafa Karta Hae

Jub Khizan Aai Tu Laut Aaye Ga Woh Bhi Faraz
Woh Baharon Main Zara Kum Mila Karta Hae ..!!!

----------**********----------

==*==Aankh Bhar Ke Dekhte Hain==*==

Suna Hai Loog Usse Aankh Bhar Ke Dekhte Hain
So Uss Ke Sheher Mein Kuch Din Theher Ke Dekhte Hain

Suna Hai Boley Tou Baaton Se Phool Jhartey Hain
Yeh Baat Hai To Chalo Baat Kar Ke Dekhte Hain

Suna Hai Raat Ko Usse Titliyaan Sataati Hai
Suna Hai Raat Ko Jugnoo Theher Ke Dekhte Hain

Suna Hai Uss Ke Badan Ki Taraash Aisi Hai
Ke Phool Apni Qabaaein Katar Ke Dekhte Hain

Rukey To Gardishein Uss Ka Tawaaf Karti Hain
Chaley To Uss Ko Zamaaney Theher Ke Dekhte Hain

Kisse Naseeb Ke Be-Pairahan Usse Dekhey
Kabhi Kabhi Dar-O-Deewaar Ghar Ke Dekhte Hain

Kahaaniyaan Hi Sahi, Sab Mubaalghey Hi Sahi
Agar Woh Khawaab Hai, Taabeer Kar Ke Dekhte Hain

Judaaiyaan To Muqadder Hai Phir Bhi Jaan-E-Safar
Kuch Aur Door Zara Saath Chal Ke Dekhte Hain

Too Saamney Hai To Phir Kiyon Yaqeen Nahin Aata
Yeh Baar Baar Jo Aankhon Ko Mal Ke Dekhte Hain

Yeh Kaun Loug Hain Maujood Teri Mehfil Mein
Jo Laalachon Se Tujhey, Mujh Ko Jal Ke Dekhte Hain

Na Tujh Ko Maat Hui Hai Na Mujh Ko Maat Hui
So Ab Ke Donon Hi Chaalein Badal Ke Dekhte Hain

Buhut Dinon Se Nahin Hai Kuch Uss Ki Khair Khabar
Chalo Faraaz~ Ko, Aey Yaar Chal Ke Dekhte Hain
