fitne ajab tarah ke saman-zar se uthe
sare parind shakh-e-samar-dar se uthe

diwar ne qubul kiya sail-e-nur ko
sae tamam-tar pas-e-diwar se uthe

jin ki numu mein thi na muawin hawa koi
aise bhi gul zamin-e-khas-o-khar se uthe

taslim ki sirisht bas ijab aur qubul
sare sawal jurat-e-inkar se uthe

shahr-e-talluqat mein udti hai jin se khak
fitne wo sab raunat-e-pindar se uthe

aankhon ko dekhne ka saliqa jab aa gaya
kitne naqab chehra-e-asrar se uthe

taswir-e-gard ban gaya 'akbar' chaman tamam
kaise ghubar wadi-e-kohsar se uthe
