Kis Chaman Ki KHak Mein Phulon Ka Mustaqbil Nahin

kis chaman ki KHak mein phulon ka mustaqbil nahin

durbin nazron mein rang-o-bu hain aab-o-gil nahin

shoKHiyan hain jis ki har jumbish mein lakhon be-naqab

kyun wo duzdida-nigahi haq-shanas-e-dil nahin

jabr sahta hun magar kab tak sahun insan hun

sabr karta hun magar dil sabr ke qabil nahin

ai hawadis-ashna iza-talab dil muzda-baad

ja raha hun us taraf ab main jidhar manzil nahin

kya hua kyun chhu ke tum ghunche ko pichhe haT gae

ye gul-e-nau-KHez hai mera shikasta-dil nahin

ai nigah-e-naz teri bazm mein laya hun main

aaj us dil ko jo barq-e-tur ka qail nahin

bazm-e-husn-o-ishq mein 'akbar' ki afsurda-dili

dad ke laeq nahin be-dad ke qabil nahin
