waqt achchha jo mera tha pahle
vaqt achchhā jo mirā thā pahle
har nazar ko maiñ bhalā thā pahle
ab kahīñ jā ke fasāna samjhā
us ke muñh se na sunā thā pahle
sirf ham hī na hue the pāgal
kuchh to us ko bhī huā thā pahle
hai zamīñ-bos imārat itnī
is kā siina bhī tanā thā pahle
zindagī khā ke thapeḌe bigḌī
maiñ to itnā na burā thā pahle
ba.ad meñ dil se ga.ī shīrīnī
zahr duniyā ne bharā thā pahle
dhuul jab tak na haTī āñkhoñ se
saaf 'tālib' na dikhā thā pahle
waqt achchha jo mera tha pahle
har nazar ko main bhala tha pahle
ab kahin ja ke fasana samjha
us ke munh se na suna tha pahle
sirf hum hi na hue the pagal
kuchh to us ko bhi hua tha pahle
hai zamin-bos imarat itni
is ka sina bhi tana tha pahle
zindagi kha ke thapeDe bigDi
main to itna na bura tha pahle
baad mein dil se gai shirini
zahr duniya ne bhara tha pahle
dhul jab tak na haTi aankhon se
saf 'talib' na dikha tha pahle
