phunki tap-e-firaq ne ye tan badan mein aag
ab jism ki jagah hai mere pairahan mein aag

angaron pe litati hai furqat mein sair-e-bagh
ho mera ikhtiyar to de dun chaman mein aag

abr-e-siyah nahin ye dhuan hai bhara hua
kis ne laga di aaj sipahr-e-kuhan mein aag

kushte hain tere rukh ke ju-e-atishin-ezar
le jaenge wo bandh kar apne kafan mein aag

rukhsat hui bahaar khizan ke din aa gae
ai baghban laga de ab apne chaman mein aag

sahra hamari garmi-e-raftar se phunka
diwanon ke qadam se lag utthi chaman mein aag

kis ne kiya tere lab-e-lalin ka tazkira
ahl-e-yaman ne aap laga di yaman mein aag

zulfon se yun ayan hai tera ru-e-atishin
jaise lagi ho wadi-e-chin-o-khutan mein aag

'akbar' teri zaban hai kya shama ki zaban
har fiqra tera shoala hai hai har sukhan mein aag
