kya kah gai kisi ki nazar kuchh na puchhiye
kya kuchh hua hai dil pe asar kuchh na puchhiye

wo dekhna kisi ka kanakhiyon se bar bar
wo bar bar us ka asar kuchh na puchhiye

ro ro ke kis tarah se kati raat kya kahen
mar mar ke kaise ki hai sahar kuchh na puchhiye

'akhtar' dayar-e-husn mein pahunche hain mar ke hum
kyun-kar hua hai tai ye safar kuchh na puchhiye
