apane hamaraah jo aate ho idhar se pahale


apane hamaraah jo aate ho idhar se pahale 
dasht pa.Dataa hai miyaa.N ishq me.n ghar se pahale 

chal diye uTh ke suu-e-shahar-e-vafaa kuu-e-habiib 
puuchh lenaa thaa kisii Khaak basar se pahale 

[Khaak basar=those living on streets, homeless, vagrant] 

ishq pahale bhii kiyaa hijr kaa Gam bhii dekhaa 
itane ta.Dape hai.n na ghabaraaye na tarase pahale 

jii bahalataa hii nahii.n ab ko_ii sa'at ko_ii pal 
raat Dhalatii hii nahii.n chaar pahar se pahale 

[ko_ii sa'at ko_ii pal=anytime] 

ham kisii dar pe na ThiThake na kahii.n dastak dii 
saika.Do.n dar the merii jaa.N tere dar se pahale 

[ThiThakanaa=to pause] 

chaa.Nd se aa.Nkh milii jii kaa ujaalaa jaagaa 
ham ko sau baar hu_ii subah sahar se pahale
