jo zaruri hai kar kar pahle
shukr-e-parwardigar kar pahle

gham ka har dam bayan nahin achchha
apni khushiyan shumar kar pahle

ishq ek aag ka samundar hai
ye samundar tu par kar pahle

mat utha ungliyan raqibon par
aib apne shumar kar pahle

raushni ki agar tamanna hai
zulmat-e-shab pe war kar pahle

mat bhi is mein jit jaisi hai
ishq mein dekh, haar kar pahle

sar-bulandi hai khaksari mein
inkisar ikhtiyar kar pahle

dene wala badai bhi dega
us ke bandon se pyar kar pahle
