kabhi zaban pe na aaya ki aarzu kya hai
kabhī zabāñ pe na aayā ki aarzū kyā hai
ġharīb dil pe ajab hasratoñ kā saayā hai
sabā ne jāgtī āñkhoñ ko chuum chuum liyā
na jaane āḳhir-e-shab intizār kis kā hai
ye kis kī jalvagarī kā.enāt hai merī
ki ḳhaak ho ke bhī dil shola-e-tamannā hai
tirī nazar kī bahār-āfrīniyāñ taslīm
magar ye dil meñ jo kāñTā sā ik khaTaktā hai
jahān-e-fikr-o-nazar kī uḌā rahī hai hañsī
ye zindagī jo sar-e-rahguzar tamāshā hai
ye dasht vo hai jahāñ rāsta nahīñ miltā
abhī se lauT chalo ghar abhī ujālā hai
yahī rahā hai bas ik dil ke ġham-gusāroñ meñ
Thahar Thahar ke jo aañsū palak tak aatā hai
Thahar ga.e ye kahāñ aa ke roz o shab 'aḳhtar'
ki āftāb hai sar par magar añdherā hai
kabhi zaban pe na aaya ki aarzu kya hai
gharib dil pe ajab hasraton ka saya hai
saba ne jagti aankhon ko chum chum liya
na jaane aaKHir-e-shab intizar kis ka hai
ye kis ki jalwagari kaenat hai meri
ki KHak ho ke bhi dil shola-e-tamanna hai
teri nazar ki bahaar-afriniyan taslim
magar ye dil mein jo kanTa sa ek khaTakta hai
jahan-e-fikr-o-nazar ki uDa rahi hai hansi
ye zindagi jo sar-e-rahguzar tamasha hai
ye dasht wo hai jahan rasta nahin milta
abhi se lauT chalo ghar abhi ujala hai
yahi raha hai bas ek dil ke gham-gusaron mein
Thahar Thahar ke jo aansu palak tak aata hai
Thahar gae ye kahan aa ke roz o shab 'aKHtar'
ki aaftab hai sar par magar andhera hai
