Sar-e-mahshar Yahi Puchhunga KHuda Se Pahle

sar-e-mahshar yahi puchhunga KHuda se pahle

tu ne roka bhi tha mujrim ko KHata se pahle

ashk aankhon mein hain honTon pe buka se pahle

qafla-e-gham ka chala bang-e-dara se pahle

ye to sach hai ki tujhe tark-e-jafa ka haq hai

han magar punchh to le ahl-e-wafa se pahle

uD gaya jaise yakayak mere shanon par se

wo jo ek bojh tha taslim-e-KHata se pahle

han yahi dil jo kisi ka hai ab aaina-e-husn

ek patthar tha mohabbat ki jila se pahle

aankh jhapka bhi to de dil ko churane wale

ek tabassum nigah-e-hosh-ruba se pahle

lazzat-e-zist koi us ke muqabil ki nahin

wo jo ek kaif sa tari hai KHata se pahle

ibtida hi se na de zist mujhe dars us ka

aur bhi bab to hain bab-e-raza se pahle

dar-e-mai-KHana se aati hai sala-e-taza

aaj sairab kiye jaenge pyase pahle

raaz-e-mai-noshi-e-'mulla' hua ifsha warna

kya wo mad-mast na tha laghzish-e-pa se pahle
