hum bhi khud dushman-e jaaN thay pehle
tum magar dost kahaN thay pehle

ab wahaN khaak ooratee hai khizaaN
phool hi phool jahaaN thay pehle

ab jo deewar bunay baithay hain
soorat-e mooj rawaaN thay pehle

kuch sharabee keh hein ab rah nasheeN
ronaq-e buzm-e maghaaN thay pehle

hum keh hein aaj ghobaar puss-e ro
munzil hum sufraaN thay pehle

ab kise waza-e mohabbat ka khayal
aur hi loag yahaan thay pehle

ab to khudh per bhi nahin zaam-e wafa
tujh se hum shikwa kinaaN thay pehle

bun gya kafla chaltay chaltay
wurna tunha hi rawaan thay pehle

dolat-e ghum tau moyashar thi Faraz
itne muflis bhi kahaan thay pehle
