jin pe ajal tari thi un ko zinda karta hai
jin pe ajal taarī thī un ko zinda kartā hai
sūraj jal kar kitne diloñ ko ThanDā kartā hai
kitne shahr ujaḌ jaate haiñ kitne jal jaate haiñ
aur chup-chāp zamāna sab kuchh dekhā kartā hai
majbūroñ kī baat alag hai un par kyā ilzām
jis ko nahīñ koī majbūrī vo kyā kartā hai
himmat vaale pal meñ badal dete haiñ duniyā ko
sochne vaalā dil to baiThā sochā kartā hai
jis bastī meñ nafsā-nafsī kā qānūn chale
us bastī meñ kaun kisī kī parvā kartā hai
pyaar bharī āvāz kī lai meñ maddham lahje meñ
tanhā.ī meñ koī mujh se bolā kartā hai
us ik sham-e-farozāñ ke haiñ aur bhī parvāne
chāñd akelā kab sūraj kā halqa kartā hai
ruuh barahna nafs barahna zaat barhana jis kī
jism pe vo kyā kyā poshākeñ pahnā kartā hai
ashkoñ ke sailāb-e-ravāñ ko 'akbar' mat roko
bah jaa.e to bojh ye dil kā halkā kartā hai
jin pe ajal tari thi un ko zinda karta hai
suraj jal kar kitne dilon ko ThanDa karta hai
kitne shahr ujaD jate hain kitne jal jate hain
aur chup-chap zamana sab kuchh dekha karta hai
majburon ki baat alag hai un par kya ilzam
jis ko nahin koi majburi wo kya karta hai
himmat wale pal mein badal dete hain duniya ko
sochne wala dil to baiTha socha karta hai
jis basti mein nafsa-nafsi ka qanun chale
us basti mein kaun kisi ki parwa karta hai
pyar bhari aawaz ki lai mein maddham lahje mein
tanhai mein koi mujh se bola karta hai
us ek sham-e-farozan ke hain aur bhi parwane
chand akela kab suraj ka halqa karta hai
ruh barahna nafs barahna zat barhana jis ki
jism pe wo kya kya poshaken pahna karta hai
ashkon ke sailab-e-rawan ko 'akbar' mat roko
bah jae to bojh ye dil ka halka karta hai
