Maut Us Bekas Ki Ghayat Hi Sahi

maut us bekas ki ghayat hi sahi

umr bhar jis ne musibat hi sahi

husn ka anjam dekhen ahl-e-husn

ishq mera be-haqiqat hi sahi

zindagi hai chashm-e-ibrat mein abhi

kuchh nahin to aish-o-ishrat hi sahi

dekh leta hun tabassum husn ka

gham-parasti meri fitrat hi sahi

parda-dar-e-sadgi hai har ada

ye tasanno be-zarurat hi sahi

darpai-e-azar hai qismat to ho

ab mujhe tum se mohabbat hi sahi

hur-e-be-ja ki talafi kuchh to kar

KHair izhaar-e-nadamat hi sahi

ai ajal kuchh zindagi ka haq bhi hai

zindagi teri amanat hi sahi

kya karun 'akbar' dili jazbaat ko

is taghazzul mein qadamat hi sahi
