Dil ki barbaadi ka koi silsilaa pahle se tha
Is chiraGh E shab pe altaaf E hawa pahle se tha

Us ke yuN tark E muhabbat ka sabab hoga koi
Ji nahi yeh maanta wo bewafaa pahle se tha

DonoN apni zindagi ke chhutpute meN haiN magar
Is tarah milna muQaddar me likha pahle se tha

Ab to zakhm E dil namak khaar E tawajjoh hai tera
Naam par jari tere harf E dua pahle se tha

Raasta bhoola nahi abke parinde khushkhabar
Aur kuchh ujRa hua shahr E sabaa pahle se tha

Tere aane se to bas zanjeer hi badli gayi
Hum asiiroN pe jafaa ka baab waa pahle se tha
