Is se pehlay keh dasht-e-imkaan ko

Is se pehlay keh dasht-e-imkaan ko

Wasal-e-jana ki aarzoo na rahay

Is se pehlay keh baar-e-gham se , kahin

Tujh ko paanay ki justagoo na rahay

Is se pehlay keh dasht-e-kaahish se

Fraash-e-afsurdagi bichay sar-e-raah

Loat aayo keh muntazir hai nigah

Is se pehlay keh loh-e-qismat par

Baab-e-ulfat tamaam ho jaye

Is se pehlay keh shaam ho jaye
