kahte the tujhi ko jaan apni
aur tere baghair bhi jiye hain
Syed Aabid Ali Aabid
kabhi main jurat-e-izhaar-e-muddaa to karun
koi jawaz to ho lutf-e-be-sabab ke liye
Syed Aabid Ali Aabid
jalwa-e-yar se kya shikwa-e-beja kije
shauq-e-didar ka aalam wo kahan hai ki jo tha
Syed Aabid Ali Aabid
ishq ki tarz-e-takallum wahi chup hai ki jo thi
lab-e-KHush-gu-e-hawas mahw-e-bayan hai ki jo tha
Syed Aabid Ali Aabid
ek din us ne nain mila ke sharma ke mukh moDa tha
tab se sundar sundar sapne man ko ghere phirte hain
Syed Aabid Ali Aabid
gham-e-dauran gham-e-jaanan ka nishan hai ki jo tha
wasf-e-KHuban ba-hadis-e-digran hai ki jo tha
Syed Aabid Ali Aabid
gham ke tarik ufuq par 'abid'
kuchh sitare sar-e-mizhgan guzre
Syed Aabid Ali Aabid
dar-e-iKHlas ki dahliz par KHam hun 'abid'
ek jine ka saliqa dil-e-bebak mein hai
Syed Aabid Ali Aabid
dam-e-ruKHsat wo chup rahe 'abid'
aankh mein phailta gaya kajal
Syed Aabid Ali Aabid
