kis se ab ja ke kahen haal-e-pareshan apna

kis se ab jā ke kaheñ hāl-e-pareshāñ apnā

liye phirte haiñ sabhī chaak garebāñ apnā

juz tire naam ke ubhrī na koī aur sadā

ham ne chheḌā jo kabhī tār-e-rag-e-jāñ apnā

phir use mujh sā koī chāhne vaalā na milā

vo pashemāñ hai bahut toḌ ke paimāñ apnā

mere hoñToñ ke tabassum se hirāsāñ ho kar

ruḳh badal letā hai sail-e-ġham-e-daurāñ apnā

bāġhbāñ se kabhī ḳhairāt na māñgī ham ne

mausam-e-gul meñ bhī ḳhālī rahā dāmāñ apnā

kam se kam jhūTī tasallī se to mahfūz haiñ ham

ye bhī achchhā hai ki koī nahīñ pursāñ apnā

apne qadmoñ pe farishtoñ ko jhukā saktā hai

martaba jaan le 'ābid' agar insāñ apnā

kis se ab ja ke kahen haal-e-pareshan apna

liye phirte hain sabhi chaak gareban apna

juz tere nam ke ubhri na koi aur sada

hum ne chheDa jo kabhi tar-e-rag-e-jaan apna

phir use mujh sa koi chahne wala na mila

wo pasheman hai bahut toD ke paiman apna

mere honTon ke tabassum se hirasan ho kar

ruKH badal leta hai sail-e-gham-e-dauran apna

baghban se kabhi KHairaat na mangi hum ne

mausam-e-gul mein bhi KHali raha daman apna

kam se kam jhuTi tasalli se to mahfuz hain hum

ye bhi achchha hai ki koi nahin pursan apna

apne qadmon pe farishton ko jhuka sakta hai

martaba jaan le 'abid' agar insan apna
