Ye Mohabbat Ki Jawani Ka Saman Hai Ki Nahin

ye mohabbat ki jawani ka saman hai ki nahin

ab mere zer-e-qadam kahkashan hai ki nahin

daman-e-rind-e-bala-nosh ko dekh ai saqi

parcham-e-KHwajgi-e-kaun-o-makan hai ki nahin

muskuraate hue guzre the idhar se kuchh log

aaj pur-nur guzar-gah-e-zmaan hai ki nahin

husn hi husn hai gulzar-e-junun mein raqsan

ishq ka aalam-e-sad-rang jawan hai ki nahin

rah par aa hi gae aaj bhaTakne wale

rahbar dekh wo manzil ka nishan hai ki nahin

lakh girdab-o-talatum se guzar kar ai dost

ab safina mera sahil pe rawan hai ki nahin

tazkire apne har ek bazm mein hain ai 'aKHtar'

aaj mohmal si hadis-e-digran hai ki nahin
