sharar-e-sang jo is shor-o-shar se niklega
jalus-e-lala-o-nasrin kidhar se niklega

main jaanta hun ki us ki khabar na aaegi
tanazur us ka magar har khabar se niklega

sabhi asir hue apni apni subhon ke
wo koi hoga jo qaid-e-sahar se niklega

kisi ko apne siwa kuchh nazar nahin aata
jo dida-war hai tilism-e-nazar se niklega

jalal-e-husn dikha mere mahtab-e-jamal
tu raushni hai shabon ke asar se niklega

shabon ko jagte ho jis ke khwab mein 'akbar'
wo shahkar kamal-e-hunar se niklega
