dil lagane ki bhul the pahle
ab jo patthar hain phul the pahle

muddaton baad wo hua qael
hum use kab qubul the pahle

us se mil kar hue hain kar-amad
chand tare fuzul the pahle

log girte nahin the nazron se
ishq ke kuchh usul the pahle

ann-data hain ab gulabon ke
jitne sukhe babul the pahle

aaj kante hain un ki shakhon par
jin darakhton pe phul the pahle

daur-e-hazir ki ye inayat hai
hum na itne malul the pahle

jhuthe ilzam man lete hain
hum bhi shayad rasul the pahle

jin ke namon pe aaj raste hain
wahi raston ki dhul the pahle
