Labon pe phool khiltay hain
kisi ke naam se pahle
dilon ke deep jalte hain
charagh-e shaam se pahle
kabhi manzar badalne par
bhi qissa chal nahin pata
kahani khatam hoti hai kabhi
anjaam se pahle
yahi taare tumhaari aankh ki
chilman mein rehte the
yahi sooraj nikalta thaa
tumhare baam se pahle
hui hai shaam jungle main
parinde laut.te honge
ab in ko kis tarah rokain
nawaah-e-daam se pahle
ya saare rang murdaa the
tumhaari shakl banne tak
ya saare harf muhmal the
tumhaare naam se pahle
huaa hai wo agar munsif tou
Amjad ihtiyataN ham
sazaa tasleem karte hain
kisi ilzam se pahle
