jo bhi minjumla-e-ashufta sara hota hai
zinat-e-mahfil-e-sahab-nazran hota hai

yahi dil jis ko shikayat hai giran-jaani ki
yahi dil kar-gah-e-shisha-giran hota hai

shakh-e-gulzar ke sae mein kahan dam lije
ki yahan khun ka sail-e-guzaran hota hai

kis ko dikhlaiye apnon ki malamat ka saman
ki ye uslub hadis-e-digran hota hai

kis ko batlaiye wo rabta-e-naz-o-niyaz
un ki mahfil mein jo ai dida-waran hota hai

kabhi karti hai tajalli nigarani dil ki
kabhi dil su-e-tajalli-nigaran hota hai

mujh pe hote hain gham-e-dil ke sahife nazil
jin mein afsana-e-ali-guharan hota hai

dil bhi deta hai mujhe mashwara-e-tark-e-wafa
kuchh taqaza-e-jahan-e-guzaran hota hai

main to hun shefta-e-rang-e-taghazzul 'abid'
ki yahi shahid-e-khunin-jigraan hota hai
