dil hi rah-e-talab mein na khona paDa mujhe
dil hī rah-e-talab meñ na khonā paḌā mujhe
haath apnī zindagī se bhī dhonā paḌā mujhe
ik din meñ hañs paḌā thā kisī ke ḳhayāl meñ
tā-umr itnī baat pe ronā paḌā mujhe
ik baar un ko paane kī dil meñ thī aarzū
sau baar apne aap ko khonā paḌā mujhe
barbād ho gayā huuñ magar mutma.in hai dil
sharminda-e-karam to na honā paḌā mujhe
dekhī ga.ī na mujh se jo tūfāñ kī bebasī
kashtī ko apnī aap Dubonā paḌā mujhe
jalve kahāñ kisī ke bisāt-e-nazar kahāñ
zarre meñ āftāb samonā paḌā mujhe
'aḳhtar' junūn-e-ishq ke māroñ ko dekh kar
ahl-e-ḳhirad hañse haiñ to ronā paḌā mujhe
dil hi rah-e-talab mein na khona paDa mujhe
hath apni zindagi se bhi dhona paDa mujhe
ek din mein hans paDa tha kisi ke KHayal mein
ta-umr itni baat pe rona paDa mujhe
ek bar un ko pane ki dil mein thi aarzu
sau bar apne aap ko khona paDa mujhe
barbaad ho gaya hun magar mutmain hai dil
sharminda-e-karam to na hona paDa mujhe
dekhi gai na mujh se jo tufan ki bebasi
kashti ko apni aap Dubona paDa mujhe
jalwe kahan kisi ke bisat-e-nazar kahan
zarre mein aaftab samona paDa mujhe
'aKHtar' junun-e-ishq ke maron ko dekh kar
ahl-e-KHirad hanse hain to rona paDa mujhe
