na ghar sukun-kada hai na karKHana-e-ishq

na ghar sukūn-kada hai na kārḳhāna-e-ishq

magar ye ham haiñ ki likhte rahe haiñ nāma-e-ishq

bahut se naam the ab koī yaad aatā nahīñ

hamāre dil meñ rahā dafn ik ḳhazāna-e-ishq

sab apne apne tarīqe se bhiik māñgte haiñ

koī ba-nām-e-mohabbat koī ba-jāma-e-ishq

tumhī pe kyā ki ham ab ḳhud pe bhī nahīñ khulte

to kyā ye kam hai ki ham par khulā fasāna-e-ishq

ka.ī zamāne ga.e aur badal gayā sab kuchh

magar kabhī nahīñ badlā tirā zamāna-e-ishq

sulagte rahne kī lazzat use kahāñ ma.alūm

ki jab talak koī bantā nahīñ nishāna-e-ishq

use phir apnī ḳhabar bhī nahīñ rahī 'ābid'

lagā hai jis ko bhī ik baar tāziyāna-e-ishq

na ghar sukun-kada hai na karKHana-e-ishq

magar ye hum hain ki likhte rahe hain nama-e-ishq

bahut se nam the ab koi yaad aata nahin

hamare dil mein raha dafn ek KHazana-e-ishq

sab apne apne tariqe se bhik mangte hain

koi ba-nam-e-mohabbat koi ba-jama-e-ishq

tumhi pe kya ki hum ab KHud pe bhi nahin khulte

to kya ye kam hai ki hum par khula fasana-e-ishq

kai zamane gae aur badal gaya sab kuchh

magar kabhi nahin badla tera zamana-e-ishq

sulagte rahne ki lazzat use kahan malum

ki jab talak koi banta nahin nishana-e-ishq

use phir apni KHabar bhi nahin rahi 'abid'

laga hai jis ko bhi ek bar taziyana-e-ishq
