Classic Poem

hame.n koii Gam nahii.n thaa Gam-e-aashiqii se pahale
na thii dushmanii kisii se terii dostii se pahale

hai ye merii badanasiibii teraa kyaa qasuur is me.n
tere Gam ne maar Daalaa mujhe zindagii se pahale

meraa pyaar jal rahaa hai ai chaa.Nd aaj chhup jaa
kabhii pyaar thaa hame.n bhii terii chaa.Ndni se pahale

mai.n kabhii na muskuraataa jo mujhe ye ilm hotaa
ki hazaaro.n Gam mile.nge mujhe ik Khushii se pahale

ye ajiib imtehaa.N hai ki tumhii ko bhuulanaa hai
mile kab the is tarah ham tumhe.n bedilii se pahale
