abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
kadiyal jawa'n ka laasha jab sheh se uthna paya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
tuti huwi kamar ke ehsaas ne rulaya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
maqtal ki simt aake bete se pehle dekha
tha gham se tukde tukde ek baap ka kaleja
tuti hai dil me barchhi akber ne jab bataya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
zakhmi jigar pe jis dam akbar ka haath dekha
hasrat bhari nazar se soo-e-furaat dekha
dariya ki simt douda sheh ke badan ka saya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
jalti zamee'n pe mayyat ek chaand ki dhari thi
akber ki noujawani sab khoon me bhari thi
aankhou'n tale andhera maqtal me aisa chhaya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
afsos shaahedee'n ki mushkil ka hal na nikla
seene se noujawa'n ke barchhi ka phal na nikla
khud bekasi ne sheh ki khoon e jigar bahaya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
badhta hi jaraha tha sheh ke badan ka rasha
atthara saal wale noor-e-nazar ka lasha
rakha kabhi zamee'n par rakh kar kabhi uthaya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
bachou'n ne aake jis dam sheh ko diya sahara
sharmindagi se kaampa jisme hussain saara
yasrab ka shaahazada aansu na rok paya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
saidaniya'n khadi thi dar par udaas aake
shabbir ne kaha jab khaime ke paas aake
zainab hussain apne yousuf ko dhoond laya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
hamsheer ne jigar par taaza kharaash dekhi
bhai ke dosh par jab akber ki laash dekhi
khaime ke dar pe aake zainab ne dil badhaya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
jis dam paye kaneezi maangi gayi sakina
zehra ki laadli ko yaad aagaya madina
saadaat ka ta'arruf jab shimr ne karaya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
the is qadar masayeb kuch dardnaak akhter
dil hogaye sabhi ke bas gham se chaak akhter
nouha ye anjuman ne jab jab tera sunaya
abbas yaad aaya abbas yaad aaya
