usko takte bhi nahin the pahle

Mahmood Shaam

usko takte bhi nahin the pahle

Mahmood Shaam

us ko takte bhī nahīñ the pahle

ham bhī ḳhuddār the kitne pahle

us ko dekhā to ye mahsūs huā

ham bahut duur the ḳhud se pahle

dil nazar aate haiñ ab āñkhoñ meñ

kitne gahre the ye chashme pahle

kho.e rahte haiñ ab us dhun meñ

jis ko takte na the pahle pahle

ham ko pahchān liyā karte the

ye tire shahr ke raste pahle

ab ujāloñ meñ bhaTak jaate haiñ

vo samjhāte the añdhere pahle

ab na alfāz na ehsās na yaad

itne muflis na hue the pahle

rañg ke jaal meñ aate na kabhī

paas se dekh jo lete pahle

garm hañgāma-e-kāġhaz hai yahāñ

be-mahak phuul kahāñ the pahle

us ko takte bhi nahin the pahle

hum bhi KHuddar the kitne pahle

us ko dekha to ye mahsus hua

hum bahut dur the KHud se pahle

dil nazar aate hain ab aankhon mein

kitne gahre the ye chashme pahle

khoe rahte hain ab us ki dhun mein

jis ko takte na the pahle pahle

hum ko pahchan liya karte the

ye tere shahr ke raste pahle

ab ujalon mein bhaTak jate hain

wo samjhate the andhere pahle

ab na alfaz na ehsas na yaad

itne muflis na hue the pahle

rang ke jal mein aate na kabhi

pas se dekh jo lete pahle

garm hangama-e-kaghaz hai yahan

be-mahak phul kahan the pahle
