barbaad na kar us ko zara hath pe dhar la
ai baad-e-saba khak-e-dar-e-yar idhar la

sayyaad se kya fikr hai ai tair-e-mazmun
kaghaz ke tujhe par bhi lagen kaam to kar la

le ja dil-e-betab nishani meri qasid
simab se hai martaba-e-ishq khabar la

ye kan hain mushtaq-e-khabar qasid-e-jaanan
aankhon ko bhi didar hai manzur-e-nazar la

hasrat hai kahin hasrat-e-dil us ki nikale
is 'akhtar'-e-ghamgin ke liye dida-e-tar la
