shoale bhadkao dekhte kya ho
jal uthe ghaw dekhte kya ho

gharq-e-khunab hone wali hai
dard ki naw dekhte kya ho

dil kisi yaad ne chhua hoga
aage badh jao dekhte kya ho

anjum-e-charkh-e-fikr-e-adam ka
chal gaya daw dekhte kya ho

piye baithe hain zahr-e-dauran hum
jam uthwao dekhte kya ho

husn se lo nazar ki bhik 'akhtar'
hath phailao dekhte kya ho
