qusur kya hai jo hum se khataen hoti hain
huzur aap ki qatil adaen hoti hain

barasna aata nahin un ko hai yahi rona
falak pe roz hi kali ghataen hoti hain

gunah-e-ishq to aankhon ka mashghala thahra
ye kya sitam hai ki dil ko sazaen hoti hain

zara si ot agar le sako to achchha hai
diye ki tak mein shatir hawaen hoti hain

hamare pas bhala kya hai aur dene ko
tumhaare waste dil mein duaen hoti hain

tujhe bhi saikdon samman mil gae hote
‘akela’ tujh se kahan iltijaen hoti hain
