be-takalluf bosa-e-zulf-e-chalipa lijiye
naqd-e-dil maujud hai phir kyun na sauda lijiye

dil to pahle le chuke ab jaan ke khwahan hain aap
is mein bhi mujh ko nahin inkar achchha lijiye

panw pakad kar kahti hai zanjir-e-zindan mein raho
wahshat-e-dil ka hai ima rah-e-sahra lijiye

ghair ko to kar ke zid karte hain khane mein sharik
mujh se kahte hain agar kuchh bhuk ho kha lijiye

khush-numa chizen hain bazar-e-jahan mein be-shumar
ek naqd-e-dil se ya-rab mol kya kya lijiye

kushta aakhir aatish-e-furqat se hona hai mujhe
aur chande surat-e-simab tadpa lijiye

fasl-e-gul ke aate hi 'akbar' hue behosh aap
kholiye aankhon ko sahab jam-e-sahba lijiye
