lan-tarani ka batane ke liye raaz mujhe
kaun deta hai sar-e-tur ye aawaz mujhe

ishq mein aur bhi diwana bana deti hai
meri aawaz mein mil kar teri aawaz mujhe

ruh aazad thi paband-e-qafas rah na saki
ud gaya le ke mera jazba-e-parwaz mujhe

main to jata hi tha tang aa ke adam ki jaanib
tum ne kyon rok liya de kar ek aawaz mujhe

tane sab dete hain mujh ko meri mazlumi ki
kis qadar rahm-o-karam par tha tere naz mujhe

kaun ab kashmakash-e-zist se de mujh ko najat
kar chuka hai mera qatil nazar-andaz mujhe

dekhte hi unhen aahen bhi hain fariyaaden bhi
'abr' sab aa hi gae ishq ke andaz mujhe
