lala-zaron mein zard phul hun main
fasl-e-gul hai magar malul hun main

chand-taron ko rashk hai mujh par
tere qadmon ki sirf dhul hun main

kyun mujhe sangsar karte ho
kab ye main ne kaha rasul hun main

nur-e-sar-masti-e-abad hun magar
mai-e-shaffaf mein hulul hun main

ranj-o-gham kyun na meri qadr karen
be-gharaz aur ba-usul hun main

chandni kya payam lai hai
aaj kuchh aur bhi malul hun main

sab ke haq mein hun shakh-e-gul lekin
sirf apne liye babul hun main

mujh pe hi yurish-e-alam kyun hai
jab haqiqat mein teri bhul hun main

gham-e-hijran hi wo sahi 'abid'
koi to hai jise qubul hun main
