tufan-e-abr-o-baad se har-su nami bhi hai
tūfān-e-abr-o-bād se har-sū namī bhī hai
peḌoñ ke TūTne kā samāñ dīdanī bhī hai
arzāñ hai apne shahr meñ paanī kī tarah ḳhuuñ
varna vafā kā ḳhuun baḌā qīmtī bhī hai
yaaro shaguft-e-gul kī sadā par chale chalo
dasht-e-junūñ ke moḌ pe kuchh raushnī bhī hai
TuuTe hue makāñ haiñ magar chāñd se makīñ
is shahr-e-ārzū meñ ik aisī galī bhī hai
begāna-vār guzrī chalī jā rahī hai ziist
muḌ muḌ ke dostoñ kī tarah dekhtī bhī hai
'aḳhtar' guzarte lamhoñ kī aahaT pe yuuñ na chauñk
is mātamī julūs meñ ik zindagī bhī hai
tufan-e-abr-o-baad se har-su nami bhi hai
peDon ke TuTne ka saman didani bhi hai
arzan hai apne shahr mein pani ki tarah KHun
warna wafa ka KHun baDa qimti bhi hai
yaro shaguft-e-gul ki sada par chale chalo
dasht-e-junun ke moD pe kuchh raushni bhi hai
TuTe hue makan hain magar chand se makin
is shahr-e-arzu mein ek aisi gali bhi hai
begana-war guzri chali ja rahi hai zist
muD muD ke doston ki tarah dekhti bhi hai
'aKHtar' guzarte lamhon ki aahaT pe yun na chaunk
is matami julus mein ek zindagi bhi hai
