    dikhāte haiñ jo ye sanam dekhte haiñ

    ḳhudā ḳhudā.ī ko ham dekhte haiñ

    ye haivān hai dast-e-tāle.a pe bhārī

    na.e jānvar qadam dekhte haiñ

    zan-o-ḳhvesh-o-farzand-o-daulat se chhūTe

    na dekhe koī jo ki ham dekhte haiñ

    shahanshāh ham haiñ diloñ par haiñ hākim

    gadā tum ko ai zī-hasham dekhte haiñ

    faqat haath kaale nahīñ balki mun.im

    diloñ par bhī dāġh-e-varam dekhte haiñ

    kahāñ tak utartī hai siine pe mere

    tirī teġh-e-abrū dam dekhte haiñ

    bhagātī hai mār-e-siyah go ki ham ko

    tirī zulf-e-mushkīñ sam dekhte haiñ

    zamīñ par bhī detā nahīñ chain ham ko

    falak tujh se jaur-o-sitam dekhte haiñ

    dur-e-ashk se merā bhartī hai dāman

    saḳhī tujh ko ai chashm-e-nam dekhte haiñ

    na rañj aur na shādī tavassut hai ham ko

    ki aish-o-alam bhī baham dekhte haiñ

    kisī maah ne us ko dhokā diyā hai

    ham 'aḳhtar' ko kyuuñ pur-alam dekhte haiñ

    dikhate hain jo ye sanam dekhte hain

    KHuda ki KHudai ko hum dekhte hain

    ye haiwan hai dast-e-talea pe bhaari

    nae jaanwar ka qadam dekhte hain

    zan-o-KHwesh-o-farzand-o-daulat se chhuTe

    na dekhe koi jo ki hum dekhte hain

    shahanshah hum hain dilon par hain hakim

    gada tum ko ai zi-hasham dekhte hain

    faqat hath kale nahin balki munim

    dilon par bhi dagh-e-waram dekhte hain

    kahan tak utarti hai sine pe mere

    teri tegh-e-abru ka dam dekhte hain

    bhagati hai mar-e-siyah go ki hum ko

    teri zulf-e-mushkin ka sam dekhte hain

    zamin par bhi deta nahin chain hum ko

    falak tujh se jaur-o-sitam dekhte hain

    dur-e-ashk se mera bharti hai daman

    saKHi tujh ko ai chashm-e-nam dekhte hain

    na ranj aur na shadi tawassut hai hum ko

    ki aish-o-alam bhi baham dekhte hain

    kisi mah ne us ko dhoka diya hai

    hum 'aKHtar' ko kyun pur-alam dekhte hain
