dard ki aanch mein jalta hai ye ghar kya kije

dard kī aañch meñ jaltā hai ye ghar kyā kiije

ḳhvāb hotī hai tamanna kī sahar kyā kiije

ham bhī mānūs nahīñ dil ke añdheroñ se abhī

tā.er-e-shab bhī hai khole hue par kyā kiije

duur manzil hai kaḌī dhuup meñ karnā hai safar

kaT ga.e raah meñ jitne the shajar kyā kiije

vo ga.e vaqt kī mānind na lauTegā kabhī

ab luTā kar ye vafāoñ ke guhar kyā kiije

be-gavāhī ke bhañvar meñ hai mirī zaat ki ab

aañkh kī jhiil bhī hotī nahīñ tar kyā kiije

bārish-e-sang to be-vaj.h nahīñ hai 'ābid'

aa gayā mujh ko vafāoñ kā hunar kyā kiije

dard ki aanch mein jalta hai ye ghar kya kije

KHwab hoti hai tamanna ki sahar kya kije

hum bhi manus nahin dil ke andheron se abhi

taer-e-shab bhi hai khole hue par kya kije

dur manzil hai kaDi dhup mein karna hai safar

kaT gae rah mein jitne the shajar kya kije

wo gae waqt ki manind na lauTega kabhi

ab luTa kar ye wafaon ke guhar kya kije

be-gawahi ke bhanwar mein hai meri zat ki ab

aankh ki jhil bhi hoti nahin tar kya kije

barish-e-sang to be-wajh nahin hai 'abid'

aa gaya mujh ko wafaon ka hunar kya kije
