mujh se dil aap ka mukaddar hai
aisa jina mujhe bhi dubhar hai

kya qalam-kariyan hain qudrat ki
ek patti hazar daftar hai

hath aae to dil mein rakh lun main
kaisa pyara tumhaara khanjar hai

apni shah-rag ka khun pilaun ise
do mujhe ye tumhaara khanjar hai

ye isi ke liye hua paida
aap ki tegh hai mera sar hai

bhulti hi nahin hai yaad teri
raat bhar hai ye shaghl din bhar hai

apni hi shakl ke wo aashiq hain
bas nazar un ki aaine par hai

dekh kar un ko ji gaya aashiq
ye hai surat jo ruh-parwar hai

hath khali agar hain kya parwa
jaan hazir hai dil tawangar hai

mar gaya aaj aap ka aashiq
ab na wo shor hai na wo shar hai

shaeri ka maza gaya 'akbar'
ab hujum aafaton ka dil par hai
