Ab Wo Pahla Sa Iltifat Kahan

ab wo pahla sa iltifat kahan

aap sunte hain meri baat kahan

meri diwangi ka zikr chhiDa

aaj pahunchegi jaane baat kahan

dip kya dil jalae baiThe hain

phir bhi wo raunaq-e-hayat kahan

zindagi ban gai hai afsana

mujh ko le aae waqiat kahan

ye bataun to baat jaegi

luT gai dil ki kaenat kahan

ye zamana bhi jaanta hoga

hum ko le aae hadsat kahan

un ki nazren badal gain 'iqbaal'

ras aaegi ab hayat kahan
