be-takalluf bosa-e-zulf-e-chalipa lijiye

be-takalluf bosa-e-zulf-e-chalīpā lījiye

naqd-e-dil maujūd hai phir kyuuñ na saudā lījiye

dil to pahle le chuke ab jaan ke ḳhvāhāñ haiñ aap

is meñ bhī mujh ko nahīñ inkār achchhā lījiye

paañv paḌ kar kahtī hai zanjīr-e-zindāñ meñ raho

vahshat-e-dil kā hai iimā rāh-e-sahrā lījiye

ġhair ko to kar ke zid karte haiñ khāne meñ sharīk

mujh se kahte haiñ agar kuchh bhuuk ho khā lījiye

ḳhush-numā chīzeñ haiñ bāzār-e-jahāñ meñ be-shumār

ek naqd-e-dil se yā-rab mol kyā kyā lījiye

kushta āḳhir ātish-e-furqat se honā hai mujhe

aur chande sūrat-e-sīmāb taḌpā lījiye

fasl-e-gul ke aate hī 'akbar' hue behosh aap

kholiye āñkhoñ ko sāhab jām-e-sahbā lījiye

be-takalluf bosa-e-zulf-e-chalipa lijiye

naqd-e-dil maujud hai phir kyun na sauda lijiye

dil to pahle le chuke ab jaan ke KHwahan hain aap

is mein bhi mujh ko nahin inkar achchha lijiye

panw paD kar kahti hai zanjir-e-zindan mein raho

wahshat-e-dil ka hai ima rah-e-sahra lijiye

ghair ko to kar ke zid karte hain khane mein sharik

mujh se kahte hain agar kuchh bhuk ho kha lijiye

KHush-numa chizen hain bazar-e-jahan mein be-shumar

ek naqd-e-dil se ya-rab mol kya kya lijiye

kushta aaKHir aatish-e-furqat se hona hai mujhe

aur chande surat-e-simab taDpa lijiye

fasl-e-gul ke aate hi 'akbar' hue behosh aap

kholiye aankhon ko sahab jam-e-sahba lijiye
