kis qadar dhyan hai ai kakul-e-pechan tera
apne saye se ulajhta hai pareshan tera

apni hasrat pe lahu roe har ek zakhm-e-jigar
gir pada hath se qatil jo namakdan tera

kya kahun hai mere sahra ki jo wusat ai qais
na mile us mein jo kho jae bayaban tera

hausla nikle meri wahshat-e-dil ka kyunkar
daera tang hai ai aalam-e-imkan tera

le gaya us ki gali tak na baha kar lasha
chashm-e-tar kaam kuchh aaya mere tufan tera

aaj-kal chalti hai duniya mein qayamat ki hawa
gul na ho jae charagh ai mah-e-taban tera

khair ho bu-e-raqabat mujhe aai tujh se
chaak kis ke liye ai gul hai gareban tera

kis taraf dhundhta phirta hai to ai tir-afgan
dil mein 'akbar' ne chhupa rakkha hai paikan tera
