umr bhar parkha mohabbat se ada se pahle
us ne thukra diya phir mujh ko khata se pahle

ab to ek rasm-e-mohabbat hai mohabbat kab hai
warna jata nahin ye rog qaza se pahle

aaj ke daur ka insaf to dekhe koi
hai yahan hukm-e-saza azm-e-khata se pahle

kitna tadpega koi aalam-e-tanhai mein
tum ne socha bhi nahin tark-e-wafa se pahle

naz hai apne muqaddar pe hamein ai 'ambar'
wo ata karta hai har chiz dua se pahle
