Apne humaraah jo aate ho idhar se pahle
Dasht pa Data hai miyaaN ishq meN ghar se pahle
Chal diye uth ke suu-e-shahar-e-wafaa kuu-e-habeeb
Puuchh lenaa thaa kisi Khaak basar se pahale
Ishq pahale bhii kiyaa hijr kaa Gham bhii dekhaa
Itane ta Dape hai.n na ghabaraaye na tarase pahale
Ji bahalata hi nahiN ab koyee sa’at koyee pal
Raat Dhalatii hii nahiN chaar pahar se pahale
Hum kisi dar pe na ThiThake na kahiN dastak di
Saika Do dar the meri jaaN tere dar se pahale
ChaaNd se aaNkh mili ji ka ujaala jaaga
hum ko sau baar huyee subah sahar se pahale
