yun to yusuf se hasin aur jawan the pahle
aap se log zamane mein kahan the pahle
roz-e-awwal se hain hum soKHta-dil kushta-e-gham
aaj jaise hain yunhi shoala-ba-jaan the pahle
ishq ne khol diye hum pe wo asrar-e-hayat
jo zamane ki nigahon se nihan the pahle
aaKHir aana hi paDa lauT ke teri jaanib
qafile dil ke ba-har-samt-e-rawan the pahle
un bahaaron ko ajab rang mein paya hum ne
jin se wabasta hasin wahm-o-guman the pahle
wo siyah-baKHt yahan mahw-e-fughan aaj bhi hain
jo siyah-baKHt yahan mahw-e-fughan the pahle
marhale ishq ke aasan samajh baiThe the
'mansha' hum log bhi kya sada-guman the pahle
Ghazal
Yun to yusuf se hasin aur jawan the pahle
