khushi na mil saki aankhen meri pur-ab rahin
khayal-o-khwab ki baaten khayal-o-khwab rahin

sahar hui na mere shahr-e-arzu mein kabhi
ki mehr-e-husn ki kirnen pas-e-naqab rahin

unhi ke dam se hai qaem waqar-e-sajda-e-shukr
wo log jin ki sada qismaten kharab rahin

kisi ne bhi dar-e-ehsas apna wa na kiya
dukhe dilon ki sadaen na kaamyab rahin

sukun se rahte hain kis tarah log duniya mein
mere liye to ye sansen bhi ek azab rahin

rah-e-wafa mein nigahon se ho gain ojhal
jo suraten meri aankhon ka intikhab rahin

base hue hain mere khwab jin mein ai 'abid'
wo bastiyan to hamesha hi zer-e-ab rahin
