ghuncha-e-dil khile jo chaho tum
gulshan-e-dahr mein saba ho tum

be-murawwat ho bewafa ho tum
apne matlab ke aashna ho tum

kaun ho kya ho kya tumhein likkhen
aadmi ho pari ho kya ho tum

pista-e-lab se hum ko quwwat do
dil-e-bimar ki dawa ho tum

hum ko hasil kisi ki ulfat se
matlab-e-dil ho muddaa ho tum

yahi aashiq ka pas karte hain
kyun ji kyun dar-pa-e-jafa ho tum

usi 'akhtar' ke tum hue mashuq
hanso bolo usi ko chaho tum
