jab subh ki dahliz pe bazar lagega
har manzar-e-shab khwab ki diwar lagega

pal bhar mein bikhar jaenge yaadon ke zakhire
jab zehn pe ek sang-e-giran-bar lagega

gundhe hain nai shab ne sitaron ke nae haar
kab ghar mera aaina-e-anwar lagega

gar sail-e-khurafat mein bah jaen ye aankhen
har harf-e-yaqin kalma-e-inkar lagega

haalat na badle to tamanna ki zamin par
tuti hui ummidon ka ambar lagega

khilte rahe gar phul lahu mein yunhi 'akbar'
har fasl mein dil apna saman-zar lagega
