is se pahle ki gham-e-kaun-o-makan ko samjho

is se pahle ki ġham-e-kaun-o-makāñ ko samjho

ho sake gar to mire ġham kī zabāñ ko samjho

lafz-o-ma.anī se alag hai mire ehsās kā rañg

ho sake tum se to andāz-e-bayāñ ko samjho

husn hai vahm-e-mohabbat bhī gumāñ hai lekin

dil ye kahtā hai ki har vahm-o-gumāñ ko samjho

tum samajhte hī nahīñ rañg-e-shikasta kī zabāñ

kaun kahtā hai ki tum merī fuġhāñ ko samjho

hai ġham-e-sūd-o-ziyāñ fikr-o-nazar kī pastī

āgahī ye hai ki āshob-e-jahāñ ko samjho

is se pahle ki gham-e-kaun-o-makan ko samjho

ho sake gar to mere gham ki zaban ko samjho

lafz-o-mani se alag hai mere ehsas ka rang

ho sake tum se to andaz-e-bayan ko samjho

husn hai wahm-e-mohabbat bhi guman hai lekin

dil ye kahta hai ki har wahm-o-guman ko samjho

tum samajhte hi nahin rang-e-shikasta ki zaban

kaun kahta hai ki tum meri fughan ko samjho

hai gham-e-sud-o-ziyan fikr-o-nazar ki pasti

aagahi ye hai ki aashob-e-jahan ko samjho
