farishton se bhi achchha main bura hone se pahle tha
farishtoñ se bhī achchhā maiñ burā hone se pahle thā
vo mujh se intihā.ī ḳhush ḳhafā hone se pahle thā
kiyā karte the bāteñ zindagī-bhar saath dene kī
magar ye hausla ham meñ judā hone se pahle thā
haqīqat se ḳhayāl achchhā hai bedārī se ḳhvāb achchhā
tasavvur meñ vo kaisā sāmnā hone se pahle thā
agar ma.adūm ko maujūd kahne meñ ta.ammul hai
to jo kuchh bhī yahāñ hai aaj kyā hone se pahle thā
kisī bichhḌe hue kā lauT aanā ġhair-mumkin hai
mujhe bhī ye gumāñ ik tajraba hone se pahle thā
'shu.ūr' is se hameñ kyā intihā ke baa'd kyā hogā
bahut hogā to vo jo ibtidā hone se pahle thā
farishton se bhi achchha main bura hone se pahle tha
wo mujh se intihai KHush KHafa hone se pahle tha
kiya karte the baaten zindagi-bhar sath dene ki
magar ye hausla hum mein juda hone se pahle tha
haqiqat se KHayal achchha hai bedari se KHwab achchha
tasawwur mein wo kaisa samna hone se pahle tha
agar madum ko maujud kahne mein tammul hai
to jo kuchh bhi yahan hai aaj kya hone se pahle tha
kisi bichhDe hue ka lauT aana ghair-mumkin hai
mujhe bhi ye guman ek tajraba hone se pahle tha
'shuur' is se hamein kya intiha ke ba'd kya hoga
bahut hoga to wo jo ibtida hone se pahle tha
