dil mein jagi hi nahin thi aarzu pahle kabhi
is tarah milta hi kab tha mujh se tu pahle kabhi

zindagi tu hi bata kaise tujhe pahchanta
tu kahan aai thi mere ru-ba-ru pahle kabhi

bik rahen hain chand sikkon ke ewaz jism-o-zamir
is qadar sasti nahin thi aabru pahle kabhi

main tumhaare shahr ki tahzib se waqif na tha
pattharon se ki nahin thi guftugu pahle kabhi
