durusht kyun tha wo itna kalam se pahle
durusht kyuuñ thā vo itnā kalām se pahle
ki merā naam na thā us ke naam se pahle
vo sab charāġh ki thī jin meñ raushnī kī ramaq
bujhā diye ga.e bastī meñ shaam se pahle
vo mehrbāñ bhī hue dushmanī pe āmāda
ham āshnā bhī na the jin ke naam se pahle
ḳhud-e'timād kabhī the par ab ye aalam hai
hazār vasvase dil meñ haiñ kaam se pahle
hamāre dars-e-mohabbat kā pūchhte kyā ho
kitābī chehra paḌhā hai kalām se pahle
subuk-ravān-e-rah-e-ġham ne zindagī 'mohsin'
musāfirāna guzārī qayām se pahle
durusht kyun tha wo itna kalam se pahle
ki mera nam na tha us ke nam se pahle
wo sab charagh ki thi jin mein raushni ki ramaq
bujha diye gae basti mein sham se pahle
wo mehrban bhi hue dushmani pe aamada
hum aashna bhi na the jin ke nam se pahle
KHud-e'timad kabhi the par ab ye aalam hai
hazar waswase dil mein hain kaam se pahle
hamare dars-e-mohabbat ka puchhte kya ho
kitabi chehra paDha hai kalam se pahle
subuk-rawan-e-rah-e-gham ne zindagi 'mohsin'
musafirana guzari qayam se pahle
