wo chashm mail-e-lutf-o-karam hui bhi to kab
ujad chuka hai dil apni khushi mili bhi to kab

utar chuka hai rag-e-jaan mein zahr-e-tanhai
use bhi fursat-e-chaaragari mili bhi to kab

hain ta-ba-hadd-e-nazar silsile sarabon ke
shadid-tar hua ehsas-e-tishnagi bhi to kab

sumum-e-gham ke asar se jhulas chuka hai badan
dayar-e-jaan mein hawa-e-tarab chali bhi to kab

ukhadti sansen aur is rukh ki did ai 'abid'
nazar ki pyas bujhi to magar bujhi bhi to kab
