jo waqt-e-KHatna main chiKHa to nai ne kaha hans kar

dhamka ke bose lunga ruKH-e-rashk-e-mah ka

kabe se jo but nikle bhi to kya kaba hi gaya jo dil se nikal

puchha akbar hai aadmi kaisa

dila de hum ko bhi sahab se loyalti ka parwana

gham-KHan-e-jahan mein waqat hi kya hamari

talluq aashiq o mashuq ka to lutf rakhta tha

wasl ho ya firaq ho akbar

tifl mein bu aae kya man bap ke atwar ki

falsafi ko bahas ke andar KHuda milta nahin

ishq ke izhaar mein har-chand ruswai to hai

bole ki tujhko din ki islah farz hai

akbar dabe nahin kisi sultan ki fauj se

dam labon par tha dil-e-zar ke ghabrane se

asar ye tere anfas-e-masihai ka hai akbar
