ai dil wo aashiqi ke fasane kidhar gae wo umr kya hui wo zamane kidhar gae viran hain sahn o bagh bahaaron ko kya hua wo bulbulen kahan wo tarane kidhar gae hai najd mein sukut hawaon ko kya hua lailaen hain khamosh diwane kidhar gae ujde pade hain dasht ghazalon pe kya bani sune hain kohsar diwane kidhar gae wo hijr mein visal ki ummid kya hui wo ranj mein khushi ke bahane kidhar gae din raat mai-kade mein guzarti thi zindagi 'akhtar' wo be-khudi ke zamane kidhar gae
