is se pahle kii naqaab-e-gul-o-gulzaar meN poshiidaa kahiiN
apne paivand lage jubba-e-sadrang meN malbuus
masKhara maut ka mere chamanistaan-e-dar-o-baam par kaalik liye
haaNpte jism theatre ke khilaaDi kii taraH
hastii-e-mauhuum ka ek saaya-e-be-vazan baneN
suurat-e-be-shakl baneN
is se pahle ki samandar lab-afsos ko hilaa kar shab-e-mahtaab ke tukDe kar de
is se pahle ki hazaaroN mah-o-Khurshiid kii taabish se fazuuNkhezah kunaaN maut sifat zarra-e-naachiiz koii
baam-e-aKhlaaq se phaT kar sar-e-getii par gire
jaagtii sotii gulaabii lab-o-rukhsaar kii guDiyaa kaa jigar chaak kar de
is se pahle ki yah ho
is se pahle mujhe mar jaane kii mohlat do
