Apne hamraah jo aate ho idhar se pahle

Apne  hamraah jo aate ho  idhar se pahle
Dasht paRta hai miyaN ishq meiN ghar se pahle

Chal diye uThke su-e-shahar-e-wafa, ku-e-habib
Puchh lena tha kisi khaak basar se pahle

Ishq pahle bhi kiya hijr ka Gham bhi dekha
Itne taRrpe hain na ghabraye na tarse pahle

Ji bahalta hi nahin ab koi saa’at, koi pal
Rat Dhalti hi nahin chaar pahar se pahle

Ham kisi dar pe na thithke na kahiN dastak di
Saikaron dar the meri jaN tere dar se pahle

Chand se aankh mili, ji ka ujala jaga
Ham ko sou bar hui subh, sahar se pahle
