malal hai meri fikron ke aas-pas abhi
udas rahne de ai dil mujhe udas abhi

mujhe to sare zamane ki fikr karni hai
tumhin to ho mera aaina-e-qayas abhi

wo kaise koi shikayat zaban par laen
jinhon ne dekh liya hai tumhein udas abhi

hamare baad kahan aasra mila us ko
tadap rahi hai gham-o-dard ki asas abhi

chipak gaya tha achanak labon se aa ke mere
sharab jaisa mahakta hua gilas abhi

dilon ke fasle kahte hain main kahun na kahun
koi bhi shakhs nahin hai kisi ke pas abhi

mere aziz na roen abhi sar-e-baalin
ki hai mujhi ko meri zindagi ki aas abhi

bandhane aai thi shayad hazar ummiden
tumhaari yaad jo aai thi mere pas abhi

abhi kahan sitam-o-jaur mein kami 'manzil'
kahan hua hai nae daur ka wikas abhi
