Tumse pehle.......

Tumse pehle bhi zindagi kuch alag na thi,
Gham to tab bhi the, wajah kuch aur thi!

Uski shohrat me hum bhi the barabar ke shareek,
Dastan usne likhi, syahi mere lahu ki thi!

Ab ye aalam ki dil kaza ka hai talbgaar,
Tujhse pehle hame aarzu ik zindagi ki thi!

Ye alag baat ki banke khaar ab chubhte hain kwaab hamare,
Unki tabeer magar ik kali ki thi!

Main kyunkar na chalta teri marzi pe yarab,
Meri zindagi aakhir meri na thi!
