jo bane aaina wo tera tamasha dekhe
apni surat mein tere husn ka jalwa dekhe

hae kis tarah tujhe aashiq-e-shaida dekhe
tera saya bhi nahin hai ki jo saya dekhe

teri shanen hain hazaron tere jalwe lakhon
do hi aankhen hon mili jis ko wo kya kya dekhe

qais ko hosh nahin lab pe ana laila hai
apne diwane ko aa kar zara laila dekhe

dekhne wale tere dekhte hain yun tujh ko
jaise dariya ki taraf pyas ka mara dekhe

kya samajh rakkha hai allah ko tu ne 'akbar'
aankhen khole hue baitha hai ki jalwa dekhe
