bujha sa rahta hai dil jab se hain watan se juda
bujhā sā rahtā hai dil jab se haiñ vatan se judā
vo sehn-e-bāġh nahīñ sair-e-māhtāb nahīñ
base hue haiñ nigāhoñ meñ vo hasīñ kūche
har ek zarra jahāñ kam ze-āftāb nahīñ
vo bāġh-o-rāġh ke dil-chasp-o-dil-nashīñ manzar
ki jin ke hote hue ḳhuld misl-e-ḳhvāb nahīñ
vo jūebār-e-ravāñ kā tarab-fazā paanī
sharāb se nahīñ kuchh kam agar sharāb nahīñ
ba-rañg-e-zulf pareshāñ vo mauj-hā-e-ravāñ
ki jin kī yaad meñ rātoñ ko fikr-e-ḳhvāb nahīñ
samā rahe haiñ nazar meñ vo mahv-shān-e-haram
haram meñ jin ke sitāre bhī bāryāb nahīñ
vatan kā chheḌ diyā kis ne tazkira 'aḳhtar'
ki chashm-e-shauq ko phir ārzū-e-ḳhvāb nahīñ
bujha sa rahta hai dil jab se hain watan se juda
wo sehn-e-bagh nahin sair-e-mahtab nahin
base hue hain nigahon mein wo hasin kuche
har ek zarra jahan kam ze-aftab nahin
wo bagh-o-ragh ke dil-chasp-o-dil-nashin manzar
ki jin ke hote hue KHuld misl-e-KHwab nahin
wo juebar-e-rawan ka tarab-faza pani
sharab se nahin kuchh kam agar sharab nahin
ba-rang-e-zulf pareshan wo mauj-ha-e-rawan
ki jin ki yaad mein raaton ko fikr-e-KHwab nahin
sama rahe hain nazar mein wo mahw-shan-e-haram
haram mein jin ke sitare bhi baryab nahin
watan ka chheD diya kis ne tazkira 'aKHtar'
ki chashm-e-shauq ko phir aarzu-e-KHwab nahin
