is tarah mah-rukhon ko pasheman karenge hum
ab dagh dagh dil ka numayan karenge hum

aaina ban ke jaenge bazm-e-jamal mein
mahfil ke ru-ba-ru unhen hairan karenge hum

aae to wo bahaar-e-dil-o-jaan nigah mein
ek ek nafas ko rashk-e-gulistan karenge hum

us but ko apne dil mein basane se peshtar
paimaish-e-hararat-e-iman karenge hum

mil jae un ka naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa agar kahin
ek ek lakir juzw-e-rag-e-jaan karenge hum

ehsan-e-wasl-e-yar bhi manzur hai magar
aazar-e-hijr-e-yar ke arman karenge hum

'akhgar' kisi ki yaad mein lazim hai ek jashn
khun-e-jigar se khatir-e-mizgan karenge hum
