I added a new file F1 and made changes to another file F2 but then did a git reset --hard HEAD^ and I have lost all the changes to the files.
Is there some way, I can get them back?
I did look at a related question here: How can I undo git reset --hard HEAD~1? but, that question assumes that the one has done a Git commit.

We can use the command git fsck to recover the files after a hard reset.
Staged files are those which go into your next commit. If you accidentally added files to the staged area, you can undo this by typing git restore --staged <file> , so in this case, it would be git restore --staged lib.
In most cases, yes. Depending on the state your repository was in when you ran the command, the effects of git reset --hard can range from trivial to undo, to basically impossible.
You can (with some work) recover state of file at the last "git add <file>". You can use
$ git fsck --cache --no-reflogs --lost-found --dangling HEAD and then examine files in '.git/lost-found/other' directory.
Please read git fsck manpage.
