bahut pahale se un qadamo.n kii aahaaT jaan lete hai.n
Firaq Gorakhpuri

bahut pahale se un qadamo.n kii aahaaT jaan lete hai.n
tujhe ai zindagii ham duur se pahachaan lete hai.n

merii nazare.n bhii aise qaatilo.n kaa jaan-o-imaa.N hai
nigaahe.n milate hii jo jaan aur imaan lete hai.n

tabiyat apanii ghabaraatii hai jab sun-saan raato.n me.n
ham aise me.n terii yaado.n kii chaadar taan lete hai.n

'Firaq' aksar badal kar bhes milataa hai ko_ii qaafir
kabhii ham jaan lete hai.n kabhii pahachaan lete hai.n
