The result ensured the tourists led the three-match series 2-0 with a game to go. Pakistan won the first match by five runs in Bulawayo.
Hafeez, who recorded his third ODI century and was later named man-of-the-match for the second time on this tour, needed only 147 balls while Farhat's 75 required 106 balls.
They treated the Zimbabweans with apparent disdain, running leisurely and with the occasional strike for boundaries. They gave the home side the appearance of one that still has a long way to go before competing seriously against quality Test teams.
In reaching 30 runs, Hafeez passed the 2000 mark in ODIs, adding more than 100 more on the way to the next thousand.
It was the fifth time that Zimbabwe had been beaten by ten wickets in 400 ODI's played over the years.
In restricting Zimbabwe to 225 runs at Harare Sports Club, Pakistan kept the home batsmen well under their thumb.
Winning the toss and deciding to bat, Brendan Taylor's team got off to a very slow start and they struggled throughout as Junaid Khan and Sohail Tanveer bowled three maidens in the first seven overs.
