Pehle Pehle

Saaqiyaa, ik nazar jaam se pehle pehle
hum ko jaanaa hai kahiin, shaam se pehle pehle

Khush huaa ai dil ke muhabbat toh nibhaa dii tuune
log ujarrh jaate hain, anjaam se pehle pehle

ab tere zikr pe hum baat badal dete hain
kitnii raghbat thii tere naam se pehle pehle

saamne umr parrhii hai shab-e-tanhaaii kii
woh mujhe chhorrh gayaa shaam se pehle pehle
