Dil Mein Ek Jazba-e-bedad-o-jafa Hi Hoga

dil mein ek jazba-e-bedad-o-jafa hi hoga

wo KHuda-wand bhi hoga to KHuda hi hoga

gard si uDti nazar aati hai aandhi hogi

dur tak naqsh-e-qadam hain koi rahi hoga

hum se jo puchhna hai puchh lo warna kal tak

kis ko andaza-e-na-karda-gunahi hoga

kahin girti hui diwaren kahin jhukti chhaten

aap kahte hain to ye qasr-e-wafa hi hoga

phul se taraste hue log KHarabon mein kahan

dasht-e-wahshat mein koi aabla-pa hi hoga

jate jate mere darwaze ke paT khol gai

ye bhi 'aKHtar' koi andaz-e-saba hi hoga
