Syed Aabid Ali Aabid
chain paḌta hai dil ko aaj na kal
vahi uljhan ghaḌi ghaḌi pal pal
mera jiina hai sej kanTon ki
un ke marne ka naam taj-mahal
kya suhani ghaTa hai savan ki
sanvari naar madh-bhari chanchal
na hua raf.a mere dil ka ghubar
kaise kaise baras ga.e badal
pyaar ki ragni anokhi hai
us men lagti hain sab suren komal
bin piye ankhḌiyan nashili hain
nain kaale hain tere bin kajal
mujhe dhoka hua ki jaadu hai
paanv bajte hain tere bin chhagal
laakh andhi chale ḳhayaban men
muskurate hain taqchon men kanval
laakh bijli gire gulistan men
lahlahati hai shaḳh men konpal
khil raha hai gulab Daali par
jal rahi hai bahar ki mash.al
kohkan se mafar nahin koi
be-sutun ho kahin ki bindhiyachal
ek din pattharon ke bojh tale
ḳhud-baḳhud gir paḌenge raj-mahal
dam-e-ruḳhsat vo chup rahe ‘abid’
aankh men phailta gaya kajal
