dushman-e-jaan hai tishna-e-khun hai
shokh hai bank hai nikat bhun hai

tujh kun laila bhi dekh majnun hai
dil-rubaon ka dil-ruba tun hai

dil ke chhilne kun ye latak chalna
sehr hai totka hai afsun hai

khal-e-mushkin hai lal lab-ha par
ya mai-e-surkh bich afyun hai

aan hai dard ke zaifan par
aah dil ki alif hai qad nun hai

darguzar kar raqib sin ai dil
be-haya hai rijala hai dun hai

dard-e-sar ka ilaj kyun na kare
yar ka rang sandali-gun hai

shaikh khirqe mein jab muraqib ho
gurba miskin hai meri jun hai

gar wafadar-kush nahin wo shokh
'abru' sath dushmani kyun hai
