go ba-zahir to mehrban hain aap

go ba-zahir to mehrban hain aap
jaanta hun ki bad-guman hain aap
intizam-e-chaman nahin hota
kya kahun kaise baghban hain aap


mani-e-pasban nahin malum
kaun mane ki pasban hain aap
karwan har qadam pe lutta hai
waqai mir-e-karwan hain aap


is mein gunjaish-e-kalam nahin
kishwar-e-dil ke hukmran hain aap
apni hasti pe naz hai mujh ko
meri hasti ke raaz-dan hain aap


aap se mujh ko rabt-e-mohkam hai
zarra main mehr-e-zau-fishan hain aap
hazrat-e-abr-ahsani ke tufail
kahan 'akhtar' the ab kahan hain aap
