pahle pahl kii suniyo pahelii

pahle pahl kii suniyo pahelii

sotii thii be-sudh ghar me.n akelii

jab mai.n achaanak nii.nd se jaagii

kyaa kyaa karii morii aa.nkh na laagii

khel tamaashe kii suujhan laagii

kun-fa-yakuun kaa ik khel khelii

apnii suurat kaa putlaa banaa.ii

ruuh bhii apnii us me.n bharaa.ii

taaj-e-KHilaafat us ko pahnaa.ii

mai.n to banaa kii huu.n albelii

mujh ko hii sab mil sajda kiye the

dil se zabaan se va'ada kiye the

merii gavaahii sab mil diye the

bhuul ga.ii kyuu.n haa.e sahelii

'hilm' mai.n naam dhraa.ii to kyaa

chhand-mukarya banaa.ii to kyaa

bhes badal kar aa.ii to kyaa

ab bhii vahii huu.n laaD gahelii

pahle pahl kii suniyo pahelii
