Wo har maqaam se pehle Wo har maqaam ke baad
Sahar thii shaam se pehle sahar hai shaam ke baad


Her inqalaab-e-mubaarak har inqalaab-e-azaab
Shikast-e-jaam se pehle shikast-e-jaam ke baad


Mujh pe itnii tavajjo mujh se itanaa gurez !!
Mere salaam se pehle mere salaam ke baad


Charaag-e-bazm-e-sitam hain hamara haal na puch
Jale the shaam se pehle, bujhe hain shaam ke baad


Ye raat kuch bhi nahin thi ye raat sab kuch hai
tuluu-e-jaam se pehle, tuluu-e-jaam ke baad


Wahii zubaan wahii baatein magar hai kitanaa farq
Tumhaare naam se pehle tumhaare naam ke baad


Hayaat giriyaa-e-shabnam hayaat raqs-e-sharar
tere payaam se pahale tere payaam ke baad


Ye tarz-e-fiqr ye rang-e-sukhan kahaan 'Qabil'
Tere kalaam se pehle tere kalaam ke baad
