ye aks-e-ab hai ya is ka daman-e-rangin

koi nadida ungli uTh rahi hai

hu-ba-hu aap hi ki murat hai

kabhi jo waqt zamane ko deta hai gardish

go rahzan ka war bhi kuchh kam na tha magar

libas mein hai wo tarz-e-tapak-e-araish

raat din phir raha hun galiyon mein

hawa sahla rahi hai uske tan ko

fankar ba-zid hai ki lagaega numaish

aise haalat mein ek roz na ji sakte the

wo bhi din tha ki tere aane ka paigham aaya

kitna man guman hai dene wale ko

kahin to harf-e-aKHir hun main akbar

kai harfon se mil kar ban raha hun

abhi zamin ko haft aasman banana hai
