gali akeli hai pyare andheri raaten hain
agar milo to sajan sau tarah ki ghaten hain

butan sin mujh kun tu karta hai mana ai zahid
raha hun sun ki ye bhi khuda ki baaten hain

azal sin kyun ye abad ki taraf kun dauden hain
wo zulf dil ke talab ki magar baraaten hain

raqib ijz sin maqul ho sake hain kahin
ilaj un ka magar jhagden hain wa laten hain

karo karam ki nigahan taraf faqiron ki
nisab-e-husn ki sahab yahi zakaten hain

rahin falak ke sada her-pher mein namard
ye randiyan hain ki charkha hamesha katen hain

likhunga 'abru' ab khush-nayan kun main nama
palak qalam hain meri mardumuk dawaten hain
