jab jab bhi dekhiye use KHun-bar si lage

jab jab bhī dekhiye use ḳhūñ-bār sī lage

duniyā hamesha barsar-e-paikār sī lage

har har nafas pe rañg badaltī hai zindagī

ik phuul sī lage hai kabhī ḳhaar sī lage

chehra hai mere dost kā yā koī aa.ina

dekhūñ ulaT-palaT ke to bhī aarsī lage

aadat sī paḌ ga.ī hai use bolne kī tez

vo baat bhī kare hai to takrār sī lage

tum saath ho to ham bhī bayābāñ ko ghar kareñ

ye saḳht dhuup sāya-e-dīvār sī lage

har har qadam pe jaise ki biktā ho aadmī

bastī tamām misr ke bāzār sī lage

'ābid' tamām shahr pe aalam hai kaun sā

har ek shakl naqsh-ba-dīvār sī lage

jab jab bhi dekhiye use KHun-bar si lage

duniya hamesha barsar-e-paikar si lage

har har nafas pe rang badalti hai zindagi

ek phul si lage hai kabhi KHar si lage

chehra hai mere dost ka ya koi aaina

dekhun ulaT-palaT ke to bhi aarsi lage

aadat si paD gai hai use bolne ki tez

wo baat bhi kare hai to takrar si lage

tum sath ho to hum bhi bayaban ko ghar karen

ye saKHt dhup saya-e-diwar si lage

har har qadam pe jaise ki bikta ho aadmi

basti tamam misr ke bazar si lage

'abid' tamam shahr pe aalam hai kaun sa

har ek shakl naqsh-ba-diwar si lage
