yun teri rah mein pade hue hain
jaise dargah mein pade hue hain

gham hain jitne bhi is zamane ke
meri ek aah mein pade hue hain

mere bachchon ke khwab to filhaal
chhoti tankhwah mein pade hue hain

bach ke nikle jo maut ke munh se
yaad-e-allah mein pade hue hain

kab kisi ki hui hai ye duniya
hum abas chah mein pade hue hain

khak hona nasib hai lekin
hashmat-o-jah mein pade hue hain

ek nazar hum pe mahwish-e-azam
tere kunjah mein pade hue hain

kuchh gharaz hi nahin jise hum se
us ki parwah mein pade hue hain

jin ko zindan mein hona chahiye tha
hujra-e-shah mein pade hue hain

aap se ham-kalam hai 'abid'
log kyon wah mein pade hue hain
