dil ki mere bisat kya ek diya bujha hua
tum ne ise baja kaha ek diya bujha hua

sar pe musallat ki gain sare jahan ki zulmaten
aur mujhe de diya gaya ek diya bujha hua

hum ne to gul kiye the khud apni ummid ke charagh
aap ne kyun jala diya ek diya bujha hua

dil se na mere puchhiye aalam-e-tark-e-arzu
taq mein jis ke rah gaya ek diya bujha hua

aaina-e-wajud mein khud ko jo dekhne gaya
mera hi aks ban gaya ek diya bujha hua

jab yake-baad-digre sare charagh bujh gae
aap hi aap jal utha ek diya bujha hua

aap ki kya misal dun aap to be-misal hain
aur meri misal kya ek diya bujha hua

main ne to us ko bakhsh di qalb-o-nazar ki raushni
us ne khayal ko diya ek diya bujha hua

ishq mein khak ho ke bhi 'akhgar' ek aag si rahi
mujh mein ba-har-nafas jala ek diya bujha hua
