ye kaisa sansar hai baba
har-su haha-kar hai baba

jo bhi yan zardar hai baba
beda us ka par hai baba

daulat par mat itna akdo
ret ki ye diwar hai baba

sharm-o-haya se jo aari hai
aaj wahi hushiyar hai baba

jiwan ek dariya hai gham ka
phir bhi ye uphaar hai baba

tedhe sidhe ho jate hain
waqt ki aisi mar hai baba

'akhtar' har pal bach ke rahna
baatil ki sarkar hai baba
