aah ab KHuddari-e-akbar kahan
sabr karti hi rahi be-chaargi
jabr sahta hun magar kab tak sahun insan hun
ishq ki sada-dili hai har taraf chhai hui
zindagi hai chashm-e-ibrat mein abhi
bazm-e-husn-o-ishq mein akbar ki afsurda-dili
husn ki tafsir bhi kuchh kijiye
ai ajal kuchh zindagi ka haq bhi hai
didani hai ab shikast-e-zabt ki be-chaargi
har nafas minnat-kash-e-alam hai
