baDe shad the zindagani se pahle
baḌe shaad the zindagānī se pahle
magar sach to ye hai javānī se pahle
ye kaisī ghaTā hai ki tauba-kashoñ meñ
barasne lagī aag paanī se pahle
mujhe mujrim-e-ishq farmāne vaale
zarā pūchh apnī javānī se pahle
samajhtā na thā koī rāz-e-mohabbat
mire āñsuoñ kī ravānī se pahle
nigāhoñ ne dekhā hai daur-e-masarrat
magar 'ishq kī mehrbānī se pahle
uThāte na ham zindagānī kī ne'mat
samajhte agar zindagānī se pahle
agar roknā thā mohabbat se 'shākir'
to taklīf karte javānī se pahle
baDe shad the zindagani se pahle
magar sach to ye hai jawani se pahle
ye kaisi ghaTa hai ki tauba-kashon mein
barasne lagi aag pani se pahle
mujhe mujrim-e-ishq farmane wale
zara puchh apni jawani se pahle
samajhta na tha koi raaz-e-mohabbat
mere aansuon ki rawani se pahle
nigahon ne dekha hai daur-e-masarrat
magar 'ishq ki mehrbani se pahle
uThate na hum zindagani ki ne'mat
samajhte agar zindagani se pahle
agar rokna tha mohabbat se 'shakir'
to taklif karte jawani se pahle
