jo teri did ko tarsa bahut hai
use ye hijr ki duniya bahut hai

mohabbat ke samundar mein na utro
yahan pani abhi gahra bahut hai

kabhi aao ise aabaad karne
mera viran dil tanha bahut hai

hamein lal-o-jawahar se gharaz kya
ki chahat ka teri gahna bahut hai

badi mahngi padegi zindagani
lahu insan ka sasta bahut hai

abad tak tishnagi qaem rahegi
azal se dil mera pyasa bahut hai

tumhein bhi chhin le jae na koi
tumhaare bare mein socha bahut hai

samajhte hain hamein apna wo 'akhtar'
hamare waste itna bahut hai
