ḳhatm kiyā sabā ne raqs gul pe nisār ho chukī

josh-e-nashāt ho chukā saut-e-hazār ho chukī

rañg-e-banafsha miT gayā sumbul-e-tar nahīñ rahā

sehn-e-chaman meñ zīnat-e-naqsh-o-nigār ho chukī

masti-e-lāla ab kahāñ us kā pyāla ab kahāñ

daur-e-tarab guzar gayā āmad-e-yār ho chukī

rut vo jo thī badal ga.ī aa.ī bas aur nikal ga.ī

thī jo havā meñ nik.hat-e-mushk-e-tatār ho chukī

ab tak usī ravish pe hai 'akbar'-e-mast-o-be-ḳhabar

kah de koī azīz-e-man fasl-e-bahār ho chukī
