hum jhukate bhi kahan sar ko qaza se pahle
ham jhukāte bhī kahāñ sar ko qazā se pahle
vaqt ne dī hai sazā ham ko ḳhatā se pahle
apnī qismat meñ kahāñ raqs-e-sharar kā manzar
sham-e-jāñ bujh ga.ī dāman kī havā se pahle
ye alag baat ki manzil kā nishāñ koī na thā
kohsār aur bhī the koh-e-nidā se pahle
mudda.ā koī na thā tere sivā kyā karte
dil dhaḌaktā hī rahā harf-e-duā se pahle
rū-ba-rū us ke rahī aa.ina ban kar shāhīn
dekh le apnī nazar jurm-e-jafā se pahle
is kī āñkhoñ meñ ajab sehr hai 'salmā-shāhīn'
ho ga.ī huuñ maiñ shifāyāb davā se pahle
hum jhukate bhi kahan sar ko qaza se pahle
waqt ne di hai saza hum ko KHata se pahle
apni qismat mein kahan raqs-e-sharar ka manzar
sham-e-jaan bujh gai daman ki hawa se pahle
ye alag baat ki manzil ka nishan koi na tha
kohsar aur bhi the koh-e-nida se pahle
muddaa koi na tha tere siwa kya karte
dil dhaDakta hi raha harf-e-dua se pahle
ru-ba-ru us ke rahi aaina ban kar shahin
dekh le apni nazar jurm-e-jafa se pahle
is ki aankhon mein ajab sehr hai 'salma-shahin'
ho gai hun main shifayab dawa se pahle
