Bahut Pahle Se Un Qadmon Ki Aahat Jaan Lete Hain

bahut pahle se un qadmon ki aahat jaan lete hain

tujhe ai zindagi ham duur se pahchan lete hain

miri nazren bhi aise qatilon ka jaan o iman hain

nigahen milte hi jo jaan aur iman lete hain

jise kahti hai duniya kamyabi vaae na-dani

use kin qimaton par kamyab insan lete hain

nigah-e-bada-gun yuun to tiri baton ka kya kahna

tiri har baat lekin ehtiyatan chhan lete hain

tabiat apni ghabrati hai jab sunsan raton men

ham aise men tiri yadon ki chadar taan lete hain

khud apna faisla bhi ishq men kaafi nahin hota

use bhi kaise kar guzren jo dil men thaan lete hain

hayat-e-ishq ka ik ik nafas jam-e-shahadat hai

vo jan-e-naz-bardaran koi asan lete hain

ham-ahangi men bhi ik chashni hai ikhtilafon ki

miri baten ba-unvan-e-digar vo maan lete hain

tiri maqbuliyat ki vajh vahid teri ramziyyat

ki us ko mante hi kab hain jis ko jaan lete hain

ab is ko kufr manen ya bulandi-e-nazar janen

khuda-e-do-jahan ko de ke ham insan lete hain

jise surat batate hain pata deti hai sirat ka

ibarat dekh kar jis tarah maani jaan lete hain

tujhe ghata na hone denge karobar-e-ulfat men

ham apne sar tira ai dost har ehsan lete hain

hamari har nazar tujh se nai saugandh khati hai

to teri har nazar se ham naya paiman lete hain

rafiq-e-zindagi thi ab anis-e-vaqt-e-akhir hai

tira ai maut ham ye dusra ehsan lete hain

zamana vardat-e-qalb sunne ko tarasta hai

isi se to sar ankhon par mira divan lete hain

‘firaq’ aksar badal kar bhes milta hai koi kafir

kabhi ham jaan lete hain kabhi pahchan lete hain
