mauj-e-khun josh mein thi apne qadam se pahle
koi aaya tha yahan dasht mein hum se pahle

tur be-nur tha musa ke qadam se pahle
kis ne dekha hai tere husn ko hum se pahle

khair guzri ki junun waqt pe kaam aa hi gaya
sang-e-dar mil gaya mehrab-e-haram se pahle

hum bhi kandhon pe utha laenge maqtal mein salib
kuchh ishaara to mile ahl-e-karam se pahle

tishnagi-e-lab-e-asghar ka taqaza tha 'raza'
warna talwar uthate na qalam se pahle
