kuchh pahale in aankhon aage kyaa kyaa na nazaaraa guzare thaa - faiz ahmed faiz

kuchh pahale in aankhon aage kyaa kyaa na nazaaraa guzare thaa

kyaa raushan ho jaatii thii galii jab yaar hamaaraa guzare thaa

the kitane achchhe log ki jinako apane gam se fursat thii

sab puuchhen the ahavaal jo koii dard kaa maaraa guzare thaa

ab ke to Khizaan aisii thaharii vo saare zamaane bhuul gaye

jab mausam-e-gul har phere men aa aa ke dubaaraa guzare thaa

thii yaaron kii bahutaat to ham agayaar se bhii bezaar na the

jab mil baithe to dushman kaa bhii saath gavaaraa guzare thaa

ab to haath sujhaaii na deve lekin ab se pahale to

aankh uthate hii ek nazar men aalam saaraa guzare thaa
