tark ki jaegi muddat ki rifaqat kaise

tark ki jaegi muddat ki rifaqat kaise
chhod degi mujhe tu ai shab-e-furqat kaise
un se pursish hai mere khun ki nadamat mujhe hai
munh par ab dal lun daman-e-qayamat kaise


roz ek taza sitam roz nai ek jafa
kahte ho lab pe tere aai shikayat kaise
khana-e-dil se kabhi us ne nikale nahin panw
marte dam niklegi dekhun meri hasrat kaise


josh par hain wo umangen hain jawani ki hai mauj
dekh kar un ko na lahrae tabiat kaise
zikr-e-tariki-e-qabr aaya ki ye yaad aai
bhule dil se shab-e-furqat ki musibat kaise


chaal uda li hai jo teri to falak par hai dimagh
naz ushshaq se karti hai qayamat kaise
apni nadari pe kyon dagh lagae tu ne
te pe rakh chhode hain do nuqte ye usrat kaise


zabh ke waqt bhi munh mujh se wo phere hi rahe
dekh leta hai kisi ki koi surat kaise
shauq phir mujh ko madine ka hua ai 'akbar'
dekhiye hoti hai rauze ki ziyarat kaise
