utarne wali dukhon ki baraat se pahle
utarne vaalī dukhoñ kī barāt se pahle
charāġh baañT do bastī meñ raat se pahle
yūñhī milegā na āb-e-hayāt kā chashma
guzarnā hogā lahū kī furāt se pahle
bashar jo aaj hai tahzīb-o-irtiqā kā amiiñ
faqat darinda thā irfān-e-zāt se pahle
hamī ne maut kī tardīd meñ zabāñ kholī
hamīñ ne pyaar kiyā hai hayāt se pahle
vahāñ to baat bhī karnā jihād karnā hai
jahāñ pe hoñT siye jaa.eñ baat se pahle
na.ī hayāt 'hazīñ' fan ko de gayā 'ġhālib'
agarche mar gayā thā vo vafāt se pahle
utarne wali dukhon ki baraat se pahle
charagh banT do basti mein raat se pahle
yunhi milega na aab-e-hayat ka chashma
guzarna hoga lahu ki furaat se pahle
bashar jo aaj hai tahzib-o-irtiqa ka amin
faqat darinda tha irfan-e-zat se pahle
hami ne maut ki tardid mein zaban kholi
hamin ne pyar kiya hai hayat se pahle
wahan to baat bhi karna jihad karna hai
jahan pe honT siye jaen baat se pahle
nai hayat 'hazin' fan ko de gaya 'ghaalib'
agarche mar gaya tha wo wafat se pahle
