dhadkan mein nihan ishq ke aazar se pahle
ek aur hasin gham hai gham-e-yar se pahle

fitrat ki tamanna ka jo darpan hain wo naghme
gati hain hawaen dil-e-fankar se pahle

mausam ne to baadal ke abhi bandhe hain ghunghru
dil jhum utha hai mera jhankar se pahle

hum apne khayalon mein the kuchh bhi nahin samjhe
maujon mein to halchal si thi manjdhaar se pahle

socha hi tha sajde mein jhuken khud meri aankhen
irfan-e-khuda ho gaya didar se pahle

gar aap ko tarikh samajhni hai hamari
shakh-e-gul-e-tar dekhiye talwar se pahle

baadal bhi banane ka hunar sikh lo 'asrar'
sahra bhi milega rah-e-dil-dar se pahle
