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
