jhum kar badli uThi aur chha gai
jhuum kar badlī uThī aur chhā ga.ī
saarī duniyā par javānī aa ga.ī
aah vo us kī nigāh-e-mai-farosh
jab bhī uTThī mastiyāñ barsā ga.ī
gesu-e-mushkīñ meñ vo rū-e-hasīñ
abr meñ bijlī sī ik lahrā ga.ī
ālam-e-mastī kī tauba al-amāñ
pārsā.ī nashsha ban kar chhā ga.ī
aah us kī be-niyāzī kī nazar
aarzū kyā phuul sī kumhlā ga.ī
sāz-e-dil ko gudgudāyā ishq ne
maut ko le kar javānī aa ga.ī
pārsā.ī kī javāñ-margī na pūchh
tauba karnī thī ki badlī chhā ga.ī
'aḳhtar' us jān-e-tamannā kī adā
jab kabhī yaad aa ga.ī taḌpā ga.ī
jhum kar badli uThi aur chha gai
sari duniya par jawani aa gai
aah wo us ki nigah-e-mai-farosh
jab bhi uTThi mastiyan barsa gai
gesu-e-mushkin mein wo ru-e-hasin
abr mein bijli si ek lahra gai
aalam-e-masti ki tauba al-aman
parsai nashsha ban kar chha gai
aah us ki be-niyazi ki nazar
aarzu kya phul si kumhla gai
saz-e-dil ko gudgudaya ishq ne
maut ko le kar jawani aa gai
parsai ki jawan-margi na puchh
tauba karni thi ki badli chha gai
'aKHtar' us jaan-e-tamanna ki ada
jab kabhi yaad aa gai taDpa gai
