dasht-e-aiman se chale ku-e-butan tak pahunche
tere diwane rumuz-e-do-jahan tak pahunche

but ke rande hue allah ke thukrae hue
aakhir-e-kar dar-e-pir-e-mughan tak pahunche

gham ko hain aar wo aahen ki labon tak aaen
dil pe hain bar wo shikwe ki zaban tak pahunche

marhale aur bhi hain jaan se guzarne ke siwa
ishq mein ham-nafaso koi kahan tak pahunche

tere jalwon ki rasai ka tamasha dekha
manzil-e-dil se chale manzil-e-jaan tak pahunche

karwan-e-gham-e-dil dasht-e-junun se guzra
aaj hum ghayat-e-umr-e-guzaran tak pahunche

ishq ka sath diya sidq-o-yaqin tak aae
aql se kaam liya wahm-o-guman tak pahunche

ahl-e-mansab ne kiya kor-nigahon ko salam
ahl-e-dil bargah-e-dida-waran tak pahunche

jin ko rahna tha rahe ham-sukhanon ke hamrah
jin ko jaana tha gae bazm-e-shahan tak pahunche

mil gain sab haram-o-dair ki rahen aakar
shukr-sad-shukr ki hum shahr-e-mughan tak pahunche

rah gae yar qatil-e-gham-e-dauran ho kar
hum se kuchh sokhta-jaan ku-e-butan tak pahunche

phir bahaar aai ki nagah asiran-e-ghayur
ham-rah-e-shakh-e-qafas barq-e-tapan tak pahunche

kuchh karo chaaragaro dil ki giran-jaani ka
shisha tute to kaf-e-shisha-garan tak pahunche

tumhin sachche ki raha rang-e-taghaful yaksan
hamin jhute ki khamoshi se fughan tak pahunche

apne ahwal o maqamat se main waqif hun
wo to haalat hain jo ahl-e-jahan tak pahunche

khush-nawai ki mili dad ki mere ash'ar
mahwishan kaj-kulahan khush-nigahan tak pahunche

main ne rasman jo kiya 'ishq-e-butan se inkar
kya tabassum lab-e-lalin-e-butan tak pahunche

meri aankhon se gurezan hain wo jalwe ab tak
aks jin ke mere aaina-e-jaan tak pahunche

daman-e-yar ki manzil se guzar kar aakhir
dast-e-ushshaq sar-e-tajwaran tak pahunche

chand utra mere kashane mein 'abid' kal raat
dekhiye raat ki ye baat kahan tak pahunche
