jis tarah waqt ki sarhad ka kinara hi na ho
din usi taur guzara ki guzara hi na ho

tark-e-ulfat ko zamana hua lekin ab tak
aisa lagta hai tujhe dil se utara hi na ho

chup rahe tu to lage jaise pukara hai mujhe
jab pukare to lage jaise pukara hi na ho

soch lene se ghazal sakhta ho jati hai
wo ghazal pesh karo jis ko sanwara hi na ho

log tajjar zamane mein bahut hain ab bhi
sochte hain jo mohabbat mein khasara hi na ho

zindagi chahiye sairab nazar karne ko
warna ik-adh jhalak se to guzara hi na ho

'abdi' tutte tare nazar aae hain mujhe
ye zamin chhod ke jaane ka ishaara hi na ho
