Unhen Nigah Hai Apne Jamal Hi Ki Taraf

unhen nigah hai apne jamal hi ki taraf

nazar uTha ke nahin dekhte kisi ki taraf

tawajjoh apni ho kya fann-e-shairi ki taraf

nazar har ek ki jati hai aib hi ki taraf

likha hua hai jo rona mere muqaddar mein

KHayal tak nahin jata kabhi hansi ki taraf

tumhaara saya bhi jo log dekh lete hain

wo aankh uTha ke nahin dekhte pari ki taraf

bala mein phansta hai dil muft jaan jati hai

KHuda kisi ko na le jae us gali ki taraf

kabhi jo hoti hai takrar ghair se hum se

to dil se hote ho dar-parda tum usi ki taraf

nigah paDti hai un par tamam mahfil ki

wo aankh uTha ke nahin dekhte kisi ki taraf

nigah us but-e-KHud-bin ki hai mere dil par

na aaine ki taraf hai na aarsi ki taraf

qubul kijiye lillah tohfa-e-dil ko

nazar na kijiye is ki shikastagi ki taraf

yahi nazar hai jo ab qatil-e-zamana hui

yahi nazar hai ki uThti na thi kisi ki taraf

gharib-KHana mein lillah do-ghaDi baiTho

bahut dinon mein tum aae ho is gali ki taraf

zara si der hi ho jaegi to kya hoga

ghaDi ghaDi na uThao nazar ghaDi ki taraf

jo ghar mein puchhe koi KHauf kya hai kah dena

chale gae the Tahalte hue kisi ki taraf

hazar jalwa-e-husn-e-butan ho ai 'akbar'

tum apna dhyan lagae raho usi ki taraf
