khayal-e-abru
ab kya khayal-e-abru

bhid mein aan baithe
ab kya sawal-e-did aur kaisa hijab

bas janab
jati hawa se kis liye sar ki rida bachaiye

dekhiye muskurai hai
ek nigah-e-ishtiyaq

hosh mein aaiye huzur
aap bhi muskuraiye

dekh ke yan barahna-sar
kaun hai jo malul ho

haif hai ab bhi sher ki
dad na gar wasul ho

chhod bhi dijiye 'abir'
kahe ki parda-dariyan

shahar se uth gain huzur
pahli si waza-dariyan

aap bhi to badal gain
ji mazarat qubul ho

koi na sath roega
kyon sar-e-am roiye

sher ki aabru gai
kyon na mudam roiye

achchhi lagi tamash-gah
dekhiye khat uthaiye

roiye
roe jaiye

ab kya khayal-e-abru
bhid mein aan baithiye
