Jab pehli baar mile, hua aisa haal,
Mili aankhen, mile dil, mile khayal.

Kitna khaas ban gaya woh rishta,
Zindagi ko mili naye jeene ki misaal.

Badal gaye halat, badal gayi duniya,
Har mod pe milta raha ek kamaal.

Dil ki baat unse yunhi keh di,
Zubaan ko mila ek naya jamaal.

Ab raah-e-ishq mein hai bas unka saath,
Zindagi ban gayi ek haseen ghazal ka haal.

Pahadon Ke Piche Ki Duniya

Behti nadiyan, geet sunaye,
Lehron mein chandni angdai le aaye.
Sabz wadiyan baatein karein,
Hawaon ki palkon pe sapne dharein.

Chhupaa hai yahan ek jahaan naye rangon ka,
Jahan har manzar hai angan guliston ka.
Aasmaan bhi jhuk kar kare guftagu,
Badalon ki chadar tale khwab ** jaaye tu.

Kya yeh haqeeqat hai ya ek dastaan?
Ya hai mohabbat ka koi paighaam?
Milega wahan ja kar hi inka jawab,
Jahan har shai kare husn ka izhar.

Kehte hain, yeh jannat ka ek aaina hai,
Jahan jamal bhi hai aur kamal bhi shana hai.
Hawaon mein ghulay hain afsane kayi,
Har phool sunaye naghme naye hi sahi.

Barson se thi jis pal ki raah,
Aye rohaniyat! Dekh ab woh nigah.
