MORE BYMuhammad Shakeel Akhtar

    ik jang ke andāz meñ guftār khaḌī thī

    bad-rang anā miTne ko tayyār khaḌī thī

    kyoñ 'ishq ke shahr pe TuuTā thā faqat qahr

    jab husn bastī bhī gunahgār khaḌī thī

    ik ḳhvāb bhī sharminda-e-tā’bīr nahīñ thā

    ik niiñd shabistān meñ bedār khaḌī thī

    aahaT huī gūñgī samā'at huī bahrī

    darvāze pe phir koī dīvār khaḌī thī

    qadmoñ jasārat rahī manzil taraf-dār

    par rāhoñ se lipTī huī raftār khaḌī thī

    ehsās ke par kaaT ke dil kar ke shikasta

    hoñToñ se lagī tanz talvār khaḌī thī

    kyoñ husn ke bāzār meñ chaltā mirā sikka

    jab chashm-e-‘adū dil ḳharīdār khaḌī thī

    ik aañch thī har naqsh-e-ruḳh-e-yār meñ pinhāñ

    vo husn thā ātishī yalġhār khaḌī thī

    rotā rahā 'aḳhtar' maiñ gunāhoñ se lipaT kar

    aur merī ḳhirad ik taraf bīmār khaḌī thī

    ek jang ke andaz mein guftar khaDi thi

    bad-rang ana miTne ko tayyar khaDi thi

    kyon 'ishq ke hi shahr pe TuTa tha faqat qahr

    jab husn ki basti bhi gunahgar khaDi thi

    ek KHwab bhi sharminda-e-ta’bir nahin tha

    ek nind shabistan mein bedar khaDi thi

    aahaT hui gungi ya sama'at hui bahri

    darwaze pe ya phir koi diwar khaDi thi

    qadmon ki jasarat rahi manzil ki taraf-dar

    par rahon se lipTi hui raftar khaDi thi

    ehsas ke par kaT ke dil kar ke shikasta

    honTon se lagi tanz ki talwar khaDi thi

    kyon husn ke bazar mein chalta mera sikka

    jab chashm-e-‘adu dil ki KHaridar khaDi thi

    ek aanch thi har naqsh-e-ruKH-e-yar mein pinhan

    wo husn tha ya aatishi yalghaar khaDi thi

    rota raha 'aKHtar' main gunahon se lipaT kar

    aur meri KHirad ek taraf bimar khaDi thi
